(2014) explained how charter schools in certain states were successfully implementing the requirements set forth by the Secretary of Education Arne Duncan, while Doherty, Walsh, Jacobs, and Neuman-Sheldon (2010, p.18) held a different position, explaining that states that struggled, lacked the appropriate people to get them to the next level.

Is a “criminal genetic material” in existence, an innate condition which induces criminality? There are numerous debates about what causes crime. Several considerations in relation to the roots of criminality are presented.

Hinton, was based on a setting of a divided community consisting of the Socs, the rich Westside kids, and the Greasers, the poorer Eastside kids, usually deemed for trouble. The problem: they can’t put their differences aside, and realize they are both human. They just can’t crack the code on equality. One clear idea from…

The author’s main claim is that sculpture, painting, and architecture were used in the Catholic Church during the Catholic Renewal to serve as the artistic expression of religious belief.

I first started to ask around the faculty to see if anyone would be a willing participant in my Senior Project. A staff member referred me to Mr. Fasse’s office and when asked he happily agreed. We sat and discussed his likes and dislikes. I took note of his wants and his ideas he had for me. We discussed things such as paint color and storage ideas. We talked budget and we talked schedules. Once I had his vision in my head I began to draw a blueprint. During our meeting, Mr. fasse let me know…

disproportionately black and Latino, therefore, are convicted and funneled into state prisons ten times more than their white counterparts; although, whites are six times more likely to use and sell drugs, half of inmates charged with drug offenses are black (R. Sheldon, 87). Upon their release are socially ostracized, subsequent to a second-class life of continuous legal discrimination, and yet, most return to prison because of a “revolving door” that cycles these under-castes in and out of…

The disciplinary literacy framework allows educators, researchers, and practitioners to observe the secondary students’ development of knowledge and skills that would allow them to be successful in higher education institutions (Manderino & Wickens, 2014; Timothy Shanahan & Shanahan, 2008, 2012; Zygouris-Coe, 2012); the specific knowledge and skills that college students develop in their discipline(s) (Cisco, 2016; Cook & Dinkins, 2015; Hynd, Holschuh, & Hubbard, 2004; Wineburg & Reisman, 2015);…

Harold Simmons was born in Wood County, Texas to a lower class family supported financially by teachers. After receiving degrees in economics from the University of Texas at Austin,…

In the “Bedeviling of Young Goodman Brown”, Thomas F. Walsh Jr observations showed how the characters roles impacted the story and how the forest itself resembled hell. “The Reader in Young Goodman Brown”, by Sheldon W. Liebman had a different approach of the story and focused her interpretation on the motive of the story.
