Compartmentalization, which arguably works best for school buses, is a method of placing the seats compactly and equipping them with pads that provide good protection like a modern airbag. The concept has been effective in reducing school transportation-related fatalities. The NHTSA states that “From 2005 to 2014 there were 331,730 fatal motor vehicle traffic crashes. Of those crashes, 1,191 (0.4%) were classified as school-transportation-related” (Traffic Safety Facts 1). This shows that…

deal at first glance but looking deep into the statistic of drunk driving, there is more than meets the eye.

Viva Price. She gave me my volunteer shirt and I headed to change. I was one of the first to arrive, so I had a bit of a wait. Pretty soon assignments were handed out. I had the pedestrian safety station. Ms. Price explained to me how to set up the game and my area. I had a spinner board with different situations for the kids to answer correctly.

Roosevelt 's administration tried to fix the problems by focusing on these domestic issues, where men and women both suffered…

Statistics, stories from people of the time, and reasons why something happened, this is the formula for the majority of the chapters. There is nothing wrong with the formula, but it is very repetitive, and can dull the reader out after around five or six chapters at a time. After reading those three chapters, the reader is ready for one of the agency chapters. My favorite agency chapter is chapter four: The NRA. This chapter is a perfect example of what FDR’s college colleagues predicted in…
