...ACCIDENT ESSAYS It was a very cold morning as it had been raining very heavily the previous night. As my mother was feeling a little under the weather, my sister volunteered to drive me to school. I had overslept and as a result, was running a bit late for school. We got into the car hurriedly. The road was already congested with traffic. It appeared that everyone was late as well. My sister was a careful driver and despite the fact I was already late, she refused to drive fast on the slippery road. I was lucky she was such a resolute and careful person because a few hundred meters away from the school, we witnessed a tragic accident. it all happened very quickly, as most accidents do. A car full of school children had made a left turning without signaling and as a result a school bus crashed into it. A few cars behind the school bus rammed into the bus as they could not brake in time and soon it became a pile up. The already congested road became jammed with vehicles that came to a crawl. I told my sister that I wanted to help the victims and she nodded silently. She brought the car to a halt not too far from the accident spot. The scene that greeted us was something I would never forget. It left an indelible imprint in my mind to date. The impact of the accident had plunged three school children out of the car. The driver, a lady, lay lifeless on the steering wheel. I rushed to the children who were preschoolers. Two of them were seriously hurt and bleeding profusely from...

...All high school students should be tested for illegal drugs and alcohol before they are allowed to join extra-curricular activities. Most juvenile arrests that occur are due to the possession of illegal drugs and alcohol. Students should be drug tested before they are allowed to join extra-curricular activities because students do not want to make a fool of themselves, other people could get injured, and the people that hold the extra- curricular activities could be held accountable. One of the reasons students should be tested for illegal drugs and alcohol is because other people could get injured. Any bystanders that have been around drugs could be tested positive by accidentally consuming any type of illegal drug the main consumer takes. Which...

...great increase in the amount of threats and school shootings in the United States. Many people think to themselves, “This would never happen to me or in my area.” I used to think this way until the day my school received a threat that a teenager was planning to shoot up the school. The entire school was in a frenzy. Students leaving school, an increase in the number of police officers at the school, and having that thought that whispers in your ear, “Will this be my last day on Earth? Will I ever get to see my family and friends again?” These were some of the thoughts that ran through my mind when I heard about the threat. People never truly realize how scary and real something is until it happens to them. In the first article, “No, there haven’t been 18 school shootings in...

...Every school year, millions of students participate in school sports. Participating in school sports has grown from an estimate 4 million students playing a sport in the early 1970's to about 7.7 million in 2011. Unfortunately school principals, athletic directors and coaches cannot guarantee that students will remain accident free while participating in any sport. In today's litigious world, schools, and staff can be subject to a lawsuit. Over the past few decades, more tort cases have been filed. A tort concerns civil wrongs and address the duty, breach and injury sustained to one individual as a result of another's conduct. The premise is that a person who is injured could be able to recover something from the person who injured him or her. Usually, in a tort case, injured parties typically seek monetary damages. In an educational setting, tort law is the prevalent area of the law that subjects educators to personal liability. There are a variety of torts, which can basically be divided into three types of torts: (1) intentional torts, the intent to do harm to a person, (2) negligent torts, no intent to do harm to a person but to fail to exercise proper care and (3) strict liability, actions that causes damages regardless if the person is not at fault or negligent. Of the three categories, intentional and negligent torts tend to be more common types of tort actions in school sports settings. However, the vast majority of tort liabilities applicable...

...in the community and protect the people that need protection. If the police were to go away, due to the government stopping services, there would be chaos. People would be breaking the law and there would be no way to help them since it was the police officers job to protect them. The firefighters would also be taken away and many people would die from fires in their community. According to the National Fire Protection Association there were 369,500 house fires in America. Around 2,755 people were killed in these fires and roughly around 12,200 were injured and hospitalized. If the Firefighter were not around there would be more people dead and those were just house fires. These people that were injured from these fires would die because they would not be rushed to the hospital fast enough. Emergency Medical Services (EMS) would not be there to help people get to the hospital fast enough. EMS workers stabilize people that injured before transporting them to the hospital, if there were no one to stabilize them they would have a high chance of...

...Lauren Lahey Foundations of Special Education Article Review 2 November 27, 2012 Source and Issue Statement “Brain Injured Students At My School? In My Room?” by Bobbin Kyte Cave comes from The Clearing House journal and was published in 2004. This article discusses traumatic brain injury and how it relates to an educational environment. It outlines some of the causes of TBI, what results from a brain injury, how the law intertwines with TBI and which educational interventions are successful for students with a brain injury. Critique The background information provided about TBI is thorough, but some areas if the paper could use more empirical support. For example, the first paragraph of the manifestation section could use some support for the idea that, “Students with brain injuries often have good memory for prior learning but exhibit an inability to connect new learning to prior knowledge,” (Cave, 2004). This could be a result of the author’s professional experiences as a psychological development counselor, but nothing directly indicates that. Another area that is in need of empirical support is the second paragraph on page 172. The statement that begins, “Students with brain injuries find it helpful when…” appears to be a matter of opinion without the research to lend credibility to this statement. Overall the manifestation section of the article is very thorough in its coverage of the many different ways in which brain injuries affect individuals. The author at...

...Dr. Luciano English 1301-169 October 9, 2013 Going Out in Flames Imagine this, you're in class at school and you hear what you think is firecrackers. All of the sudden your teacher comes running in the room and is telling everyone to hide under their desk and not to make a sound. That is what happened to hundreds of students at Columbine High School in Colorado. The two boys killed 12 students, 1 teacher and injured 21 others. Even though 34 people were physically affected by the boys, many others were emotionally effected. The Columbine Shooting on April 20, 1999, brought forth many issues that needed to be handled; school safety and anti-bullying were the first things brought forth by the police. According to the New York Times, Eric Harris and Dylan Klebold had planned this attack a year in advance. The two watched over the cafeteria crowds to determine the best time for their attack. “The bottom line of this thing is they wanted to do as much damage as they could possibly do, and destroy the school and destroy as many children as they could, and go out in flames,” Sheriff Stone said. On April 20, Adolf Hitler’s birthday, the two students made history for the deadliest school shooting ever recorded. In total, there were 15 deaths including Harris and Klebold, with an additional 21 injured. They had an assortment of guns and bombs, which included a propane tank bomb, which made investigators believe they had help. Even though there were no additional suspects, detectives...

...and several bouts of ice. Sadly this led to multiple accidents, and numerous people being injured, because everyone was just caught off guard, and there was no time to prepare the roads. Then, there is also the fact that because we so rarely get this sort of weather, the state cut the budget for salting the roads, and no longer has funds available for salting the roads. There were a few school busses, that upon early release, skidded and had accidents, and a number of children were injured as a result. Other than these bitter cold temps, which have also kept dad and I both pretty much bedridden with pain, we’re doing well overall. Darlys is a distance runner on the varsity team, as a freshman, Desirey, with her new IEP in place is doing much better in school, although she is still being bullied and pushed down the stairs and gym bleachers daily. I look forward to hearing how each of you are doing! Love always, Jody Ann Dear sir or madam, Address this letter to a city department, like the street department, or public works. It is with great concern that I am writing to you. With the recent changes to our state budget cutting or at the very least reducing our funds for salting the roads during times we have ice/snow our children’s safety in particular, is at risk. It has come to my attention numerous school busses have been involved in accidents, which resulted in children being injured. Considering that our children will be affected by these same cuts to their education,...

...The Columbine High School massacre or simply Columbine was a school shooting that occurred on April 20, 1999, at Columbine High School in Columbine,[2][3] an unincorporated area of Jefferson County in the state of Colorado. In addition to the shootings, the complex and highly planned attack involved a fire bomb to divert firefighters, propane tanks converted to bombs placed in the cafeteria, 99 explosive devices, and bombs rigged in cars. The perpetrators, two senior students Eric Harris and Dylan Klebold, murdered a total of 12 students and one teacher. They injured 21 additional people, with three others being injured while attempting to escape the school. The pair then committed suicide.[4][5] Although their motives remain unclear, the personal journals of the perpetrators document that they wished their actions to rival the Oklahoma City bombing, as well as other deadly incidents that occurred in the United States in the 1990s. The attack has been referred to by USA Today as a "suicidal attack [that was] planned as a grand—if badly implemented—terrorist bombing."[6] The massacre is reported as being "the deadliest high school shooting in US history."[7] The massacre sparked debate over gun control laws, the availability of firearms within the United States and gun violence involving youths. Much discussion also centered on the nature of high school cliques, subcultures and bullying, in addition to the influence of violent movies and video games in American society. The...

...Today is January 25, 2018, and there have been eleven school shootings in 2018. How can we live in a world where school shootings are almost normal? "Researchers and gun control advocates say that since 2013, they have logged school shootings at a rate of about one a week." A school is a place of innocence, it is where children go to get an education. Parents, guardians, families, entrust the schools and the government to keep their children safe. How is can the schools protect us if our government won't take the necessary measures to do so. If our government will not put restrictions on gun laws, then how can we ever hope to be safe. There have been 50 school shootings this academic year alone and eleven school shootings in 2018 so far. That...

...family, or a friend, to come to one of their games. Many college students need to buy food, especially college athletes after exerting energy during practice. Out of around a billion dollars profits yearly of the NCAA, the coaches are getting 17% of that money yearly. If the coaches wages were cut 7%, that would create money that could be distributed to the athletes. If college athletes were paid, they could buy food that would help them replenish the nutrients they have lost. Sadly, there are many college athletes that do not have full-ride scholarships, and nothing near what they need financially for college. Colleges are saying that the only expenses being paid are those going toward education, when athletes still have bills to pay from school costs (Staurowsky...

...can be considered a sport but other ones are not able to be a sport a high school cheerleader, an all-star cheerleader, or a college cheerleader are all cheerleaders. Cheerleaders are very hard workers who a lot of times are told that what they do is not a sport by any means. The American Medical Association thinks that cheerleading should be considered a sport (Bonesteel, 2014). A sport is an athletic activity requiring skill or physical expertise and often in a competitive nature (Dictionary.com, nd). Now cheerleading is a highly competitive sport that consists of a high level of athleticism (Lennison, 2012). This can really hurt anyone’s confidence in what they are doing. Cheerleading should be considered a sport because of how much work needs to be put into it and how easy it is to get injured.Cheerleaders put in many hours of work for only a two and a half minute performance. They also are in something that is thankless, whether it is cheering for a team or competing there is not a lot of respect shown to them. Cheerleaders have to work hard for where they are at, they had to earn the spot on the team they were not just handed it. Even after...
