Independent city

Introduction Public education within itself is a hot topic for most states now a days. According to Parents for Public Schools, “school choice” is the tagline of this year’s legislative session, with the number one topic being charter schools and passing a charter school bill. There are mixed opinions around the state on school choice and charter schools. Educational choice is not a new issue that many are faced with. School choice initiatives are based on the premise that allowing parents…

This report is compiled from information based on the North Ward area. North Ward is a Suburb in the Coastal city of Townsville, North Queensland, Australia. North Ward dates to the 1870’s and Is one of Townsville’s oldest suburbs. Over the past ten years many apartments and homes have been built and because of this, the population has grown. North Ward has twelve heritage listings including St Joseph’s church. To collate information for this report I had to use a variety of primary and…

For the past four decades we have used this clothing system called school uniforms. These school uniforms are usually worn by private school pupils. There has been controversy about this topic through the past. School uniforms should be banned because children should have the ability to express themselves through clothing, the uniforms could be more expensive, so some students will not be able to afford the outfits, and it promotes conformity instead of individuality. School uniforms let the…

Fiscal investment: This option requires strong governance system. There have been concerns regarding high administrative costs and corruption and bias towards targeted exemptions from school fees when the lower tier government/ service providers grant exemptions or financial assistance at their own will. Or there are cases when the poor may be unaware of exemption schemes and/or not apply for fear of being stigmatized. Therefore, fiscal investment is medium high. Option 2: Mother-tongue based…

convey a person's independent thought. I believe that the painter of the graffiti I chose wanted to associate the flower to the lack of nature of New York City. New York City sometimes referred to as the capital of the world. The city has a low concentration of nature. Nature can only be found in places such as Central Park or Battery park, but even there you can see the lack of nature considering everything is so organized and nicely placed, a clear evidence of human touch. New York City…

Public Colleges For most high school students, the word “college” equals “stress”, the stress about which college to attend, including worries about the college expenses, loans or debts yet to come. As we all know, attending college does give an individual leverage above those who could not afford or did not have an opportunity to go to any college. No doubt, graduating from a college improves one’s life, such as, being able to find higher paying jobs with benefits as opposed to low paying…

3-8 and 11. Both of the people I interviewed had not had much experience with CCSS or the Smarter-Balance, which surprised me seeing how one had her Doctorate degree and the other had been teaching for such a long time. Although we are an independent school, and if a person had not taught at a public school in the last 5-6 years, they may not know much about CCSS or Smarter-Balance, both of which have been in the works for quite some time. Having taught at public schools myself, I already…

With over 1,200 public schools in the state of Texas, all but one of them are declared independent, or immune to any form of municipal government. These schools have come to be known as independent school districts, “ISD” for short. The Bill of Rights plays a significant role in independent school districts, as the daily interaction of authoritative government figures and other individuals “is controlled in part by… [guaranteed] protections” listed under the Bill of Rights (Youth Rights 11).…
