There are 18 students in the classroom. 10 females and 8 males. Of the 18 students, 7 of them have been identified as above grade level standard, 9 students are at grade level and there are 2 students who entered school for the first time and identify ELL with their first language being Spanish.

I was fascinated to learn about the elements in Art. I had always thought that art had no organization, guidance or system. I thought that people just painted or drew pretty much whatever they wanted with no apparent rules. The Visual Elements that Getlein mentions on chapter 4 consist of the following; line shape and mass, light, color, texture and pattern and last but not least; time and motion (Getlein, 2012). These elements are intrinsically woven in art! Who would have thought that all…

Due to the increasing popularity of college sports in the United States, individuals have begun to question whether college athletes should be paid like professionals. But college athletes are students and amateur players, meaning that college athletes are not given money to play a sport. Student-athletes attend college to get an education, not to be paid to play a sport. Already compensating athletes for playing are scholarships. Also, paying athletes would cause countless problems.

Equality and equity whilst having similar grounding in tertiary education, are different concepts working towards parallel aims. Certainly, there is no shortage of disagreement within the academic world on the definition if equity and equality, as Espinoza (2008, p. 343) states that there is disagreement and confusion about what the concepts of equity and equality really mean and what they involve. Equity recognises that there are some who are ‘worse off’ then others, which limits their access…

The Road to Success Many would say that one does not need to go to an elite college to be successful. Although their argument is reasonable, the statistics clearly show that going to an elite college bolsters your chances in succeeding in the working world. In fact, the average college graduate makes around $47,000 a year; however, graduates from more prestigious schools like Princeton were easily making at least six figures (Ellis). This is an extremely large discrepancy in the payoff of…

One of the main differences is the naming of the Act. The Vocational and Technical Education Act of 1984 was renamed by Perkins (IV) to as Career and Technical Education (Dortch, 2012). The 1984 Act focused on expanding, improving and modernizing the vocational education programs (CTE legislation History, n.d). On the other hand, the 2006 Act places focus on reinforcing the existing accountability system. This was achieved by introducing independent core indicators of performance in secondary…

Being Junior in high school means the impending fear and excitement (mostly fear) of college and moving on to the next chapter in life. My constant mental battle is figuring out if I want to remain in state to save my parents pockets and myself from impending debt. Why is that I have to sacrifice my preference of learning establishment for the sakes of money? College education in America is strenuous and expensive. Students are forced to worry first about their debts, scholarships, loans, and…

Should college be free for all students? Upon my research I’ve come to realize that I’m in a bit of a predicament, College should be free not only because it’s a really great idea and it could potentially help this economy. College shouldn’t be free for many reasons first and foremost taxes would rise if not done correctly and hurt the economy more than it already is, students might not take college education so serious knowing that it’s just another free program. So in this essay I will be…
