...Year round school isn’t the greatest option to better educate students. Breaks are a good way for students and teachers to figure out and plan what they want to do. Students could also use breaks as motivation. Without motivation grades will drop or students will drop out. There could be a better solution without having to eliminate summer vacation altogether. Summer break gives students time to relax and get away from school pressure. It gives them time to get away from bullies and just think things through also. 14% of high school students have considered suicide and 7% have attempted it according to http://www.bullyingstatistics.org/. The percentages could be much higher without time to get away from in school pressures. Summers give students...

...children of their childhood if we went to year-round schooling? Introducing the concept of year-round schooling, while it has its benefits, also raises concerns for many stakeholders. Here's an introduction to why some people consider year-round schooling to be disadvantageous. Although it has been the same for years, summer break should stay the same. Because it has been the same for years and everyone knows it that way. Year-round schooling is harder on students. Year-round schooling poses significant challenges to students, families, and educators alike, disrupting crucial elements of childhood development. Created a break in the 19th century was a belief that “too much schooling impaired a child and teachers health.” as well as the fact that if you have kids doing year round school, kids will be more likely to become lazy and fall behind. In conclusion, while year-round schooling presents its own set of challenges, it's essential to consider the potential benefits it offers, such as mitigating learning loss, promoting consistent learning...

...Abstract School age children should be required to attend year-round school because its benefits go far greater than just the student does. A year round education will help students retain the information learned; it can assist teachers in time saving curriculum work after the school day; which will help improve the students test scores. This program can keep students occupied more because of the less extended break can prevent them from getting in trouble. This program could reduce the financial drain parents might be feeling as the nation is dealing with its hard times. Students attending year round schooling are likely to perform as well or even better than their peers enrolled in the tradition 9-month programs. Year-Round Education Introduction An education is the key component of society today. In the past, an individual could have little or no education and still succeed in the world. However, things have changed and in the world of added technology, limited jobs in the workforce and or a lower job security because of the finical hardship having and education is a plus. To ensure we stay on this path its starts with the youths of today and my belief is the need for year round education. I will look take a look at some of the policies in place, describe some of the various models of year round education, some advantages and disadvantages of the school calendar, effects on student achievement and family effects of the plan.

...When it comes to year round schooling, many people have debated on whether or not it is the right decision for the students. There is two sides to the argument. One is that summer vacations hurt the children’s learning experience because every year when they come back, they have to re-learn what they have forgotten over the summer. Another side to the argument is that having a summer vacation is essential to growing up. School systems and communities have come up with many different options, and by the end of this paper you can decided which would best suit you. Through research we have found that since back in the 1800’s they have handled schooling in many different ways. Back then schools lacked a long summer vacation we are used to today. Their schooling was handled by them going to school from December to March, have a break, and then return mid-May to August. Other schools in this era had children from working families attend an eleven month school year, it served as a safe and inexpensive place for them to be. Since the 1900’s school districts around the country have offered a longer school year, involving shorter spread out vacations. As opposed to our system now, schooling around the world differs from ours here in America. They are not used to a short school year followed by a long vacation. Instead, children in countries such as Europe, Asia, and South America go to school more days per year, as well as more hours per day. On one side of the debate there is the families...

Differential parental investments in education and children under kinship care in the Philippines Joseph J. Capunoa, and Xylee Javierb a,b School of Economics, University of the Philippines Diliman, Quezon City 1101 Philippines Abstract While education is universally held to enhance a child human development, policies must still contend with parental biases. Here, we investigate if school attendance of young household members aged 6-12 years old varies with their kinship ties to the household heads in the Philippines. Applying probit regression techniques on a dataset culled from the five rounds of the Annual Poverty Indicators Survey, we find that the probability of attending school of the head's own child is about 2.9-percentage points greater that that other relatives in the same age group, controlling for income and other factors. However, there are no differences in the likelihood of school attendance between...

...best educates its citizens” (Aasen, 2010, p.4). Education makes most people think of public schools and the structure of schools. The complaints of public schools or “traditional” schools are under- funded, overcrowded, unchallenging curriculum, and student peer pressure. Traditional schools also work in a fixed time slots and do not leave enough time for parents and children to have enough time together. Along with traditional schools being in a fix time, the curriculum is in set times, therefore, parents have turn to alternative education. Fixing the problems of educating children, the place of education is somewhere to start. For example, private schools that can be expensive with cost being around $400 per child, charter schools that basic curriculum is in the form of public schools but under no guidelines and accountability to the state, or homeschooling that has been taught for centuries in an environment based on student success. Homeschooling provides a better education than traditional school, through year-round education, one-on-one curriculum, and ability to teach real-world applied education. Homeschooling Every day is a learning experience. Advantage to year-round schooling is that it installs a strong work ethic into students. They do not lose what was taught previously over summer vacation. Because one parent is home all the time, year...

Prevention and supporting services for those living with HIV/AIDS and reducing the impact of this disease were the broad objectives. Knowledge and conception about HIV/AIDS in Bangladesh: Most of the people in this country have very little knowledge and misperceptions regarding the causes and transmission of STIs/AIDS. The major number of them did not yet know the name of any sexual disease or its treatment. If we focus on street children same scenario is found. Some illiterate people think that to take drugs together and sharing kitchen materials and even to have food in a single plate AIDS could be transmitted from one person to another. There was a research conducted in Comilla district to assess the knowledge level. The table shows in detail: Table-1(Distribution of knowledge about HIV/AIDS) Variables Yes (%) No (%) Knowledge on HIV/AIDS: Have you ever heard about HIV/AIDS Which virus spread AIDS It is confirmed to death for AIDS It is a communicable...

One of the reasons for that is the shocking fact that the poor often pay more taxes, relatively, than do the rich. In Britain, for example, “the tax burden of the top fifth of earners has fallen from 37 percent to 35 percent in the last twenty years. In contrast, the tax burden of the bottom fifth has risen from 31 percent to 38 percent.” The other reason for social inequality nationally is imperfect income distribution. Thus, whereas 23.5 percent of all American workers received only poverty level wages in 1973, this had risen to 28.6 percent by 1997. Looked at another way, real wages for relatively low-paid workers fell by 22 percent between 1973 and 1995, and 10 percent for middle-range workers. Low-paid jobs grew by 22 percent in New York City between 1993 and 2000—four...

Seventeen people, were talking kids, that can't go home and see their families and parents and can't tell them they love them one last time. We need better Gun control!!! Laws need to be more strict and specific. The Parkland Florida shooter was also a kid of nineteen years of age legally able to own a firearm. Why at such a young age, not even old enough to sit down and have a beer legally, can you own a weapon that can shoot 800 yards (8!!! Football fields!!!) and have 30 rounds and can shoot 90-120 rounds per minute, oh and don't forget its light weight also....

...Experience? It Depends. Shai Walker Webster University Author Note This paper was prepared for Staffing and Selection HRMG 5800, Section 54, taught by Professor Karns. Abstract Can experience make up for the lack of a degree, or does a degree provide something that experience cannot? Is one more valuable than the other? Talk about a discussion that will have you chasing your tail! It's truly a trap debate because the right answer is "it depends". Whether it's a completely strategic discussion about your organization's policies or a discussion involving a specific position and candidate, this issue continually resurfaces at organizations. And depending on what side of the fence you sit, this issue can be very personal and emotional. Obviously, there are specific cases where the question is debatable. If you need a registered professional engineer to approve plans, the degree requirement is a given. If you're a hospital looking for a surgeon, you're probably seeking someone with a PhD in medicine. However, the scope of positions that may or may not require a degree gets gray pretty fast, and the span is pretty wide. And, no industry is immune to this issue. Keywords: experience, degree, organizations, policies, professional, requirement, industry. Education or Experience? It Depends. Take this scenario: Bob and Joe are both applying for the same job. They each interview well, but Bob has 15 years’ experience and no college degree, and Joe is fresh out of college with no...

...Medical Out-of-Pocket Expenses, Poverty, and the Uninsured∗ Kyle J. Caswell† and Brett O’Hara SEHSD Working Paper 2010-17‡ U.S. Census Bureau Washington, D.C. December 29, 2010 Abstract The National Academy of Sciences (NAS) Panel on Poverty and Family Assistance argued that the current official U.S. poverty measure should be updated to capture changes in the population’s healthcare costs and needs; families with sufficiently high medical out-ofpocket (MOOP) expenditures may be ‘poor’ even though they are not counted as such. This research offers three distinct advances toward achieving the NAS recommendations as they concern MOOP spending. Firstly, this paper uses the newly collected MOOP expenditure data from the CPS ASEC, and analyzes its quality vis-` -vis alternative sources. Secondly, a poverty estimates that incorporate the MOOP spending data from the CPS ASEC are produced in such a way as to be consistent with the NAS recommendations. These direct estimates are an improvement over previous estimates, conditional on obtaining high-quality data, because modeling MOOP expenditures from other surveys is not needed. Third, this paper investigates how the distribution of MOOP expenditures, and the poverty estimates, change when it is assumed that the uninsured have the spending patterns of the insured. The main results are: 1) the new MOOP expenditure data is high quality; 2) incorporating observed MOOP expenditures increases the incidence of poverty across the population...

...spending huge amounts of money on computers for education. One is that children, who will use them for entertainment purposes such as games, will abuse them and the other is that they do not improve test scores. Well, let me put this to those people… if you were to give a class of children a pack of paper and a pen for use with schoolwork, how many of those kids would use all that paper for schoolwork; Next to none. Some will doodle on the paper; some will make paper airplanes. The fact is that you cannot stop kids playing. In addition, I am not talking about like 10 and 11 year olds. I am 17 and yet people round my school do the same sort of things. Communication is another important aspect of computer and has become very easy through internet and email. Computer communicates using telephone lines and modems. Through email, we can send messages to anybody in any part of the world in just a second while if we write letter then it will reach in some days. Therefore, the internet has made the earth a global village and above all saves time. This would not be possible without computers. Internet helps to find information on every topic.
