there has been a debate over allowing teachers to carry guns in schools. This debate arose when a nineteen-year-old went to a school in Florida with an assault rifle and killed seventeen people. Many people question how he was able to obtain that sort of weapon. This arose the debate of whether teachers should be allowed to bring their own gun for their and the student's safety. Guns are very dangerous and can cause serious harm to an individual, therefore, teachers should not be allowed to…

school Pope. Julie and Shivanie's children's teachers are given giftcards for school supplies. When we discussed the second focus group question, we learned that some parents would want to know exactly what the funds would be used for. They said they have donated to many organizations such as: The American Heart Association, their church, Mission of Arlington, and Alzheimer's. Emotions were expressed throughout the participants when talked about how teachers used their own money for supplies.…

Promethean board centered on the left wall. Perhaps it was a preconceived notion of mine that at a private school, one that I presumed to have better resources, there would be greater use of technology in the classroom by both the students and the teacher.

Improvement of Type 1- Parenting: The area I think my current school can improve on is the use of these classes to better assist staff members to understand the families.

they contain bad words or they have things that parents find offensive. Yes this may be true but authors put these things in a book for a reason, they aren’t putting bad words in books just for the fun of it.
