OLAÑO Subject Teacher Submitted by: CHARISH JOY B. BAYOT 10-EINSTEIN March 2016 HISTORY OF VICES IN TEXAS The history of vice in the U.S. state of Texas has been an important part of the state's past and has greatly influenced its development. Vice activities, such as gambling and prostitution, have historically been a significant facet of both the state's culture and its economy. Law enforcement organizations have traditionally defined vice as including prostitution, gambling, alcohol and narcotics, and pornography. These activities, though always controversial, represented major influences in the state with some enterprises at times holding legendary status. The legal status of the individual activities has fluctuated substantially over time. Additionally during some periods individual communities and public officials have been accepting of many of these activities, even when they were illegal, because of corruption, because the activities were seen as inevitable, or often because the activities were economically important. Early Texas and the Republic of Texas Before the arrival of the European settlers in Texas, the plant peyote (peyotl in Nahuatl) had become a popular hallucinogenic among tribes in the Rio Grande Valley as well as parts of West Texas and Chihuahua. Tribes in the area included the Carrizo...

...Running head: THE NORM Supervision for Successful Schools: The Norm Grand Canyon University: EDA 551 June 15th, 2011 Supervision for Successful Schools: The Norm The perceived effectiveness of public education in the United States has suffered a steady decline since the middle 1960’s. Perhaps only coincidently, President Lyndon B. Johnson enact the Elementary and Secondary Education Act of 1965 which for the first time set high standards for all public schools in order to hold educators accountable for student performance. The concept, or course, is extremely worthwhile. However, the reality of the thing is that this piece of legislation marked the beginning of a quagmire in which educators currently find themselves. This piece of legislation represents the first dabbling(s) on the part of the (federal) government in controlling what goes on in the classroom. Teachers, after continued re-workings of state and federal standards, are now no longer worried about educating students (I realize I am overstating here, but being a teacher I do not feel as if this statement falls too far from the truth). Instead, they are concerned with how their students have fared in the most recent battery of standardized assessment. Assessments used to determine the effectiveness of the classroom teacher and his or her methods for meeting those standards which were first legally set forth in 1965. In light of this conundrum, the practicing administrator finds himself/herself (said with...

Venturina | Teacher I | MNHS Cabcaben | Mariveles, Bataan Published: 07 May 2014 Created: 07 May 2014 Education is one of the most important things in life that an individual must have. As it defined, it is a form of learning in which the knowledge, skills, and habits of a group of people are transferred from one generation to the next through teaching, training. Moreover, it frequently takes place under the guidance of others, but may also be autodidactic. Any experience that has a formative effect on the way one think, feels, or acts may be considered educational (Wikipedia). That is the reason why, the Philippine government assigns the highest budgetary priority ( Article XIV sec. 5 of the 1987 Philippine Constitution) to provide free education to all. According to one of the readings, education is absolutely beneficial for society on the whole. It is a life long process to each person that needs to be reinforced throughout life. However, we need education system that may eradicate illiteracy and may provide the common man an access not only to basic education but also to higher and technical education. Education is a teaching and learning process that involves teachers whose function is to teach young individuals and learners who will gain all the learning imparted by the teacher. But if one of them fails...

...GED PROGRAMS IN HIGH SCHOOLS Imagine you have a child in high school. Your child is 16 years old, good student, no problems, and good grades. Then one day your child comes home and says they want to drop out and get a GED. This is an option for your child because today's high schools have a GED program in the school. The GED program should be taken out of high schools and back to the original intent as an Adult Education. The intent of the GED was for WWII veterans to become eligible for post secondary education without going back to high school. Then in 1946 the program was opened up to civilians that had not graduated from high school (Caputo, 2005). General Education Diploma programs should not be in high schools. The problem is with this program available to our children so easy. The average student and take the all of the GED tests in seven hours and 5 minutes (Rachal, Bingham 2004). After the test is complete it normally takes approximately four to six weeks to receive their scores(U. S. Department of Education). This program causes problems because good students to in essence drop out of high school, if for no other reason than to be done with school. Another problem is that allowing 16 to 17 year olds to take the GED test possibly limiting the job advancement and income to support their families in the future. Statistically people with a high school diploma earn $3000 more per month than those with a GED(Caputo). This also affects the military, military...

...Question 1 Discuss the problems at the school. Include in your analysis a discussion on the issues at various levels. Thurgood Marshall High School , opened its doors as the newest of the six high schools in Great Falls, Illinois. It was an important breakthrough in inner-city education. The school designed for the “house system” concept. There were 300 students, a faculty of 18 and a housemaster. There were 4 houses mentioned as A,B,C,D, and each of them had its own entrance, classrooms, toilets, conference rooms and housemaster’s office. Staff and teachers had been selected due to their success, background and reputations in their previous jobs. Everything had been carefully balanced even races of students. These students mostly came from toughest and poorest areas of the city. Before Kane had started his new job as the principal , his predecessor Dr. Louis Parker was in charge. He had faced with many problems during his two years in Marshall’s. The very first thing that prompted the issues was the conflicts between housemaster and the six subject area department heads. It can be considered as an organizational conflict. Jones describes, “organization conflict is the clash that occurs when the goal-directed behavior of one group blocks or thwarts the goals of another”.(p391) Sometimes conflicts can be good for an organization and can improve organizational effectiveness but in our case, it is fair to consider our conflict as the prompt of the issues. The conflicts started...

...world students are learning to improve themselves to eventually improve their society. The problem here is that not everyone values the importance of education as much as they should. From examination of completion rates and analysis of standardized tests, it is clear that America is falling behind many countries, Japan in particular. This disparity between America and Japan is shown not only in academics, but also in competition for jobs. The better the education people achieve, the more advancements the country can have, and the more successful that nation will be as a whole. America needs to refocus its value on education to emphasize its importance to avoid falling behind on a global scale of educated citizens. One of the main reasons America is falling behind Japan is that the high school drop out rate in America is 1.2 million students a year, which is 6,000 students a day (The Broad Center). The fact that this many students are forfeiting their education everyday is disturbing. Students can just ease their way through and earn a high school degree; so dropping out shouldn’t even be an option. In Japan, the drop out rate is significantly lower and graduating high school is Japan is much more challenging. With all the resources available in American high schools, there is no excuse for why American students are dropping out. Why wouldn’t U.S. students just graduate from high school if it were that easy and improve their life so much more? There are many reasons why students...

...Should School Dress Codes Be Enforced? Troy Gibson Research and Writing- English 215 Fall Quarter Major Paper B Final Exam December 18, 2008 Instructor: Danny L. Daily Over the last decade or so the topic of school dress codes has been the center of attention here in America. The main question asked is, Should school dress codes be enforced? Especially in public schools in the U.S. There are some positive and negative factors surrounding the concerns of school dress codes being enforced. Some opponents against school dress codes include, students, parents and faculty members, which argue certain factors that enforcing the dress code is, a violation of students rights, of freedom of expression, second, it can put a financial burden on students families who live below the poverty line, third, some claim it is just a temporary relief to school violence, fourth it adds an additional tax on parents who already pay taxes on free public schooling, and fifth, some say that enforcing the dress code is to difficult in public schools. On the other hand, those who are proponents of the dress code add that by enforcing this policy, it will help eliminate violence, identify outsiders who do not belong there, improve a student attendance, eliminate students from being peer pressured in buying designer clothing and foster a students discipline as well as lessen the social and economic boundaries between students in school. With all of these...

...Marshall School of Business University of Southern California Controls at the Bellagio Casino Resort Teaching Note Purpose of Case The Controls at the Bellagio Casino Resort case was designed with several purposes in mind. First, it illustrates a control system that is dominated by action and personnel controls, rather than results controls. The analysis of this system leads to insights about some of the factors that limit the feasibility of results controls. Second, the case can lead into a discussion of what is meant by the term “tight control.” The case presents an excellent example of the application of tight action controls in the table games areas of the casino. Finally, the case can lead into a discussion of the meaning of what auditors refer to as “internal control,” which is a subset of the broader area of management control. The case describes an excellent system of controls over cash and cash-equivalent stocks and movements thereof. These controls, which fall in the category of internal controls, are necessary but not sufficient to guarantee good management control. Suggested Assignment Questions Since the case can be used for several purposes, the assignment can be slanted in several ways. The following is one list of questions that might be used 1. Focus on three key roles at mainly three levels of authority in the casino – blackjack dealers, pit bosses, and the vice president of table games. How would you characterize the “control strategy”...

...CHAPTER 1. THE PROBLEM AND ITS SETTING Introduction Information Technology (IT) aims to make the students gain knowledge to contribute to the progress of computing. It also aims to solve or minimize problems of every people in our society. This course helps the students to maintain, operate and develop applications, software, networking and database that are useful in many forms. Information Technology contributes much in our world today as our technology grows bigger every single day. Information technology benefits the world by allowing organizations to work more efficiently and to maximize productivity. Faster communication, electronic storage and the protection of records are advantages that IT can have. Information technology has to do with computer applications, on which nearly every work environment is dependent. Since computerized systems are so widely used. Information Technology is now one of the in demands. It is one of the populated courses in every school. This course is not an easy one. Students have to deal with a lot of logical subjects, programming, troubleshooting, multimedia, math subjects, and a lot more that is related in technology. Not all IT students succeed in this course, that is why the population of the IT students in San Pedro College of Business Administration starting on the school year of 2013-2014 decreases based on the information obtained by the researchers. The researchers chose this topic because they observed that from the past years...

...Classroom management is essential to the success of each student as well as to the success of the teacher. It is something that I find to be one of the most important aspects of becoming a teacher and having my own classroom. The goal of classroom management is to create an environment in which every child succeeds. As a teacher, I would need to be able to anticipate my students’ actions before they happen, handle situations that do arise, and prevent them from happening again. In order for me to be able to be able to anticipate what a student will do, I need to know my students very well. It is crucial to learn about each one of my students and understand what may cause them to be upset and act out. If a student is gifted and they tend to...

...Over a Bullet Wound: How American Charter Schools are not the solution to Systematic Inequality When I was in first grade, my parents pulled me into a room and sat me on my mother’s lap. I was seven at this point, but I was always small for my age so I was still able to do this. I remember being nervous because they were acting so serious and I wondered if they were getting ready to break some bad news. I sat patiently, attempting to read their facial expressions to see if I was in trouble or if something bad had happened. And then the question came… “Maryam…Where do you want to go to school next year?” For the first few years of my education I attended public school. I went to B.M. Williams Primary School in Chesapeake, Virginia and to say I loved it would be an understatement. I was always “advanced” for my age. My teachers told me I read on a fourth grade level. I aced my math drills like they were nothing, and I always ended the year by taking home tons of awards and certificates such as “Best Reader” and “Most Likely to Become President.” School for me was the center of my world, not only because I was seven and what else do seven year olds do besides go to school, but also because my dad was a teacher. I always understood the value of education being that my father devoted his whole life to it. My parents came from very poor backgrounds, growing up in the slums of Philly. As a child, I remember my parents being in school for as long as I could remember. My mother...

Spanierman v. Hughes, 576 F. Supp. 2d. 292. (D. Conn. 2008) Jeffrey Spanierman, a teacher at Emmett O’Brien High School in Ansonia, Connecticut, created a MySpace page for the purpose of communicating with his students regarding homework, learn more about the student’s personal interest and to conduct casual, non-school related discussions. (Neuberger, 2008) A colleague visited the page and was concerned with some of the content---pictures of nude men captioned with inappropriate comments and personal conversations between Mr. Spanierman and the students. The colleague spoke to Spanierman and convinced him to remove the page arguing that it was disruptive to students. Spanierman complied, but went on to create a new profile page with similar content. The colleague learned of the new page and immediately reported her findings to the school administration. The administration went on to place Spanierman on administrative leave and ultimately declined his teaching contract for the upcoming school term. (Neuberger, 2008) In the case of Spanierman v. Hughes, 576 F. Supp. 2d, 292, the Plantiff, Jeffrey Spanierman was hired on January 2, 2003 as an English teacher at Emmett O’Brien High School, a school within the Connecticut Technical High School...

...Why College Education Should Be Accessible and Affordable Kyei Baffour Comm 215: Essentials of College Writing April 23, 2012 Sharon Grunst There was a time when parents who could not afford to pay for college for their children just worked their way through it by paying in bits and pieces from their monthly paychecks, relied on gifts from other family members or simply took another job to make those dreams a reality. The current recessionary economic situation the country finds itself in has put added strain on college financing options for most people and the sooner steps are taken to fix these problems the better. I come to this conclusion because of my personal situation concerning this topic. My family currently has three college students; I, my wife and our son, and we are all relying on loans and some grants to fund our education. I think the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act, which includes heavy investments in education, passed by Congress and signed into law by the President is a very good step in the right direction. This Act provides over $30 billion in funds to help improve access to college and help lay the foundation for positive long-term achievements of the country’s educational goals. Now is the time for increased investments in education because the economy, reeling from the current recession, benefits as a whole. The availability of adequate and inexpensive funding for...

...likely be a conversation about whether the Common Core State Standards are good or bad for our students. Every parent, educator, policy maker, researcher and citizens of the United States needs to join the debate of Common Core State Standards for the rights of our future: the children born and unborn of this great country. How can we call our country a world power with 20 or more countries performing better than the United States in mathematics since the early nineties? Why is there even a debate amongst these groups when based on the 2014 PDK/Gallup poll of the public’s attitudes toward the public school revealed that 58% of Americans said the curriculum used in their community’s schools needs to change (pdkintl.org, 2014). The same poll revealed that the public believes only 13% of high school graduates are ready for the world of work, and only 31% ready for college (pdkintl.org, 2014). With all of this why are we all not taking a stand for the Common Core State Standards? The Common Core State Standards for mathematics create a staircase where students can build upon their knowledge conceptually at a pace that will be standardized across the country. Every student regardless of socioeconomic status, demographics, or political background should have the same pathway for their education. For example, a student in Atlanta should be given the exact learning pathway as a student in New York. We need to say good-bye to the days where we have teachers teaching mathematics solely...

...sugar filled foods to catch the eye of young ones, as well as the food distributors. Some say it is the cafeteria’s fault in your local school. Others protest that it is the obese child’s parents who we should be blaming. Some love to blame it on their genetics, saying “It runs in the family, we are just heavy naturally”. The truth is, we can blame all of these factors, but really the responsibility falls on the government. The FDA website clearly shows their slogan that states, “U.S. Food and Drug Administration Protecting and Promoting Your Health” (fda.gov). Is the FDA really looking out for our health and even more so our children’s health? The FDA website says that when it comes to foods they are responsible for labeling and the safety of all food products (except meat and poultry). This means that the foods in your supermarket that are FDA approved are supposed to be safe, what does “safe” mean according to the FDA? Many of these products are not healthy. Not only are they not healthy, but they are targeting young children, which the FDA is responsible for labeling. As far as parents go, many of us aren’t educated enough and think that if it is FDA approved then it is healthy, after all, the FDA’s slogan is as stated above, “Protecting and Promoting Your Health”. The problem with childhood obesity can begin at birth for formula fed babies. Many infant formulas contain high amounts of sugar and corn syrup.
