...RUNNING HEAD: Key Issues Paper Key Issues Paper SPE 537 Professor Sharon Hill-Wooten Key Issues Paper There are many issues that focus around the term learning disability, which has led to many discussions amongst researchers, legislation, doctors and educators. There has been much legislation to be passed regarding the term learning disability and the entire field of special education. Based on the text reading one issue that is discussed and debated often is defining learning disability. In 1969 the category of learning disability was first included in federal education legislation. That year, the General Subcommittee on Education (of the House Committee on Education and Labor) presented to the House of Representatives a bill entitled "Special Programs for Children with Specific Learning Disabilities," (). Throughout the years this issue has been a continuous debate the definition of learning disability has changed many times. Until IDEA provides more specific guidelines it is said there will be variability in how children are evaluated. Another issue that was prevalent early was the differences in the type of learning disabilities children were faced with. In the early 20’s kids were diagnosed as been mentally retarded, it was later found in the 1940’s that there was a difference in how the kids were learning. Upon realizing this research and evaluations were geared toward finding the different disabilities and how kids were learning. Many...

...Abuse Prevention Programs: Operation, Funding, and Effectiveness. Candace Taylor Grand Canyon University Author Note All correspondence to this research should be forwarded to Candace Taylor. Substance abuse has become a serious issue in America. More and more of America’s youth are starting to use drugs than usual. To prevent this, there are many substance abuse prevention programs that are in place to try and prevent this before it even begins. Three programs were examined for this research paper. Those programs are DARE, Partnership for Drug-Free Kids, and SADD. In this paper, the mission, funding and effectiveness of each program will be discussed. DARE DARE, Drug Abuse Resistance Education, is a program created to bring awareness of drug abuse with youth in communities. The mission of this program is to teach kids how to make the right decisions and live a drug free, healthy life. “D.A.R.E. is the national symbol for the Drug Abuse Resistance Education program which, in partnership with police officers, parents and schools is in use throughout the United States.”(DARE.org). The DARE program is funded by federal government resources and private contributors. A few studies were conducted on the effectiveness of this program. Dr. Ismail Sahin conducted an effective DARE program. “This study has showed that while some research studies found a positive effect of the DARE program, some studies found no significant impact at all” (Sahin 2014). There were several reason in...

...themselves) to a single aspect of their racial identities: Booker T. Washington, Tina Turner, and Greg Louganis are three examples. This phenomenon isn't entirely pernicious; it is at least partly rooted in our concern that growing up with a fractured identity is hard on kids. The psychologist J.D. Teicher summarized this view in a 1968 paper: "Although the burden of the Negro child is recognized as a heavy one, that of the Negro-White child is seen to be even heavier." But new research says this old, problematized view of multiracial identity is outdated. In fact, a new paper in the Journal of Social Issues shows that multiracial adolescents who identify proudly as multiracial fare as well as — and, in many cases, better than — kids who identify with a single group, even if that group is considered high-status (like, say, Asians or whites). This finding was surprising because psychologists have argued for years that mixed-race kids will be better adjusted if they pick a single race as their own. The population of multiracial kids in the U.S. has soared from approximately 500,000 in 1970 to more than 6.8 million in 2000, according to Census data quoted in this pdf. In the early years, research on these kids highlighted their difficulties: the disapproval they faced from neighbors and members of their extended families; the sense that they weren't "full" members in any racial community; the insecurity and self-loathing that often resulted from feeling marginalized on all sides...

Never had he ever received an A on a test in elementary. He was ridiculed by so many. He then decided to throw away all the technologee and wrote a paper. That paper helped him so so much. Such knowledge was produced out his mind. That young fella is the set example of why paper over rules technologee. Now let’s cut the trees and make these papers.

...In news almost every day there are articles about kids who go missing because of various reasons. With the daily hustle and bustle of life, it becomes difficult for parents to keep track of their kids and ensure they are safe where ever they are. This is the reason for the emergence of the product called Location Detection Sensor (LDS). LDS is a non-breakable material. It can be designed in the form of a safety pin, hair clip or a plastic card (just like a credit card or driver's license) that one can carry in their wallet, hand bag, school bags or attach it safely to their garments. The product is targeting young kids, teen or college students who go to schools, day cares, live on campus or in a neighborhood close to college which may not be safe. This product doesn't have any sharp edges to make sure young folks are safe wearing them. LDS comes with an app that parents can download on their phone to activate the sensor. The app will connect to its own network so parents wouldn't need to worry about losing reception at places where their cell phone network doesn't reach! This LDS, kids can wear or carry and parents can have a sigh of relief that their kids are safe wherever they are by keeping track on their location. This paper as mentioned above describes the product and its functionality that The PN Company has come up with. It is located in Manchester, NH. This company aims to design and develop the LDS. PN understands that marketing is the process by which companies...

Compost bins return plant and some food materials to the soil through decomposition so it can be used as a natural soil additive, called compost. Compost improves soil texture, increases the ability of soil to absorb oxygen and water. Compost also suppresses weed growth and reduces the need to add chemicals and pesticides to plants, which may be harmful to the environment.

...valuable outlet for freedom of expression, but is widely abused in order to bully and threaten others without any fear. The purpose of this research paper is to show how online bullying goes a long way, and hurts others in the long run. Bullies get online and let out their hatred/frustration on victims, without the confrontation, and without the immediate consequences. There are many ways that social media is more widely used as a weapon and some of the reasons are, bullying online can lead to depression/anxiety, even to suicide, and the bullies are able to hide behind a keyboard and threaten others with no consequences. We expect the internet to be safe and a reliable source to express ourselves, yet others use it as a scapegoat to bully others and create an environment where others don’t feel safe. From personal experiences, facts, statistics, and the words of experts, social media has been deemed an unfit outlet for teens because they use it to freely express their hatred towards others, with little to no consequence. There are many facts that prove how social media is used for seemingly inappropriate behavior towards others, and making the internet as a whole a place to ruin other people’s lives. Doing research on this topic was really hard because of all the stories that kids have been through, made me realize how hard kids have it these days. According to an article called “Student Facts on Bullying and Cyberbullying,” the use of bullying someone online can lead...

...the individual is going through. Babies are unable to communicate by speech or bodily gestures when they are born or in their first years of life, therefore it is very important for people to be able to associate the baby’s facial expression to their emotion. When a baby is sad they will make a certain facial expression letting the parents know something is wrong. Same goes if the baby was in pain, hungry, or tired. Because kids and adults are able to speak and communicate both through speech and body language, it might make it seem as if facial expressions were no longer needed to know how someone is feeling, but in research it is still very important. For example, a doctor would be able to tell if his patient is in pain or afraid even if they do not want to let the doctor know something is wrong just by the patient’s facial expression. Social workers understand that facial expression is very important when dealing with kids who have gone to live with new parents. For example, if the child was put in a home where he is being mistreated or maybe the kids’ parents are hurting their child, that child might be afraid to let the social worker know what really is going on. In most cases, that child is afraid to become more hurt or get their...

...moving more than one car, and kids adjustment to new school. Individuals who have children experience a great deal of problems and challenges during relocation. Children are more affected by change of environments to another state as compared to adults because their emotional capacity has not yet developed to its maximum. Relocation from one state to the other is a physically consuming task. It involves moving homes and a lot of packing and unpacking. In a new state, an individual encounters a new set of norms and culture. All the things encountered in a new state are new. This exposes an individual to a great social challenge. One is required to understand the way of learning things in the new state host within the least time possible. An individual after entering a new state is advised to ask as many questions as he/she might consider beneficial in order to understand the new area surroundings. Planning ahead is key to making sure your move proceeds smoothly. If you're moving from an state side to stat side to location. Create a "command central" for your move. This is a designated place to keep to-do lists and important papers such as passports, medical records, and orders.
