Public school

Students in Chicago Public Schools were not pleased with their free lunchroom food- not that they are being too picky but because the food is outright "disgusting, unhealthy, unappetizing and overly processed." When these kids' palate cannot take it anymore, they did something revolutionary; they took the issue of school cafeteria food in the internet. Every meal in nearly every CPS lunchroom is made by the district and are given free to every student. With the federally subsidized program's…

One of the many duties of a public school system is to ensure that its graduates grow to be responsible, contributing members of society. An important facet of model citizenship is the respect of both public and private property.

choices to make for our children. Two of the most popular are public school and homeschool. Public school is the most popular choice.

Of course, throughout the years there was always the class clown or two and students often formed their own small groups in which they felt the most commonality, however, I experienced a large difference between the private school world and the public school world. Starting with the private school, students wore uniforms from Lands’ End, were placed in grades with an average of…

high school wasn’t easy. Freshmen year of high school was the year that I chose my less traveled road. Enrolling in Chicago Hope Academy, a private Christian school, wasn’t always the plan. Instead, I had hopes of getting into Muchin College Prep., which is a public school in Chicago.

This difference was a result of the structure of a private school…

students feel a certain way about their schools. Today’s schools use prayer as a way to make students without a religion feel awkward around others. There are many reasons why prayer should not be allowed in public schools. Prayer in school could have many effects that could cause problems in the school. Some of the reasons why this could cause problems are that it could cause school controversy, kids could get bullied, children could get expelled, the school could get sued, and some parents…

be in public schools When schools first started in 1635 there was not a huge campus and different classrooms for every subject. But now in the 21st century there is a different teacher for every subject and different classrooms for the different subjects. In the recent years the public school campus have been removing religion on the public school campus.

“America preaches integration and practices segregation” (BrainyQuote). This statement tells exactly what goes on today in the public school systems around America. In the articles “Why our schools are segregated” and “Segregation revisited: The racial education landscape of Charlotte Mecklenburg schools” they discuss how minorities are given unequal education and how schools are kept segregated. They also talk about the effects of minorities not being placed in a diverse environment. Children…
