...Jhersey Mae De Guzman Mr. Jaco English 10 23 February 2017 Teens and Sleep School should start at a later time so teens could get enough sleep. It is no surprise that teens sleep late at night. Almost all of them only get about six hours of sleep. The reasons for that are: tons of homework, chores, jobs, etc. Sometimes they are even forced to go out by their parents/guardians because of a relative’s birthday party or just visiting friend. And when they go out, sometimes they come home late. Which forces them to do their homework at midnight. Some teens take AP and honors classes so they could easily get into colleges. Taking those classes puts a lot of stress into students if they don’t have time to study or do their homework. If school starts at a later time. They would definitely have the time to do it and they’d be able to sleep more. According to a research, not having enough sleep can have a huge effect on a student’s concentration, focusness, and alertness. They will feel sleepy and have problems focusing in school. My favorite quote from the article...

...just a banana it makes me very tired, and with my job being a school bus driver, falling asleep at the wheel is not good. In the morning I usually buy a soda to drink. This usually lasts me from 6 a.m. to 9 a.m. Then from 9 a.m. to around 12:15 I purchase another soda. Usually around lunch I bring something to eat that I have previously cooked the following night from dinner. Sometimes I just don’t feel like eating so I throw that back into our work refrigerator and leave it for the next day. I clock back in around 1:30 p.m. and purchase another soda that lasts me until I get off work at 5 p.m. I rush home to fix something quick for dinner such as spaghetti with garlic bread, and a soda to drink. After dinner is done I help my children with their homework as I clean up from dinner. When the children have done their homework and gotten ready for bed is when I finally sit down and do my own homework. Finally around midnight I am ready for bed to just turn around and get up at 4:30 to do it all over again. I have found that fixing quick and easy meals are the best for my family right now. When I do try and fix something healthy my family does not want to eat it and I end up making them what they want to eat. I have also taken the time to go and get fast food because of the time restraints it doesn’t leave me much time to cook most nights. My diet right now does not...

...Running Head: The Effects of Parental Involvement The Effects of Parental Involvement on Academic Achievement An Individual Research Project by Diane Higgins To Dr. Belinda Hartnett Research Methods – RES 531 Section 013 In partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Education Strayer University Washington, D.C. June 19, 2011 Chapter One: Introduction I. Topic Selected: As a teacher, one of my passions is to make sure that all of my students are able to learn and understand what is being taught to them. Sometimes this process is hindered when the only learning for some students goes on at school. I am a strong believer that students need assistance when they get home from school, so I decided to research on how parental involvement can affect student achievement. II. Description of Topic: Parental involvement plays an important part in a child’s life, not only during the early years, but throughout the school years as well. Parents who play an active role in the education of their child will have greater opportunities to motivate their children to behave more and strive for greatness. Self- esteem may rise as a result of positive reinforcement. An involved parent will also know when his child is misbehaving and be able to correct the problem before it gets out of hand and becomes a regular habit. With proper parental involvement, a child is less likely to feel the need to lash out and misbehave for much needed attention; they'll...

...Chapter One: Introduction 1.0 Background of Study Most of us grew up believing in dream big about the future ahead. We believed we could do anything or become anything we wanted with dedication and hard work, but for many in this country the big dream about the future is fading as the gap between rich and poor continues to grow. Children were told that if they studied hard they could “make something of themselves.” While this is still true, the rules have changed and the stakes are higher. Governments have decreased aid for public education and set spending caps. Students today are being faced with “high stakes” testing. We used to worry about scoring high enough on examinations to get into college, but now students take examinations to get out of high school. Some policy makers, during sometime, have suggested a school’s funding will be determined by how well their students perform on the tests. In theory it is wonderful, the schools that do well will be rewarded for their excellence. In practice it will most likely become another opportunity for the rich school districts to succeed and the poor school districts to fail. Revenue caps and high stakes testing appear to be an inevitable part of our future so we must find affordable, effective means for inspiring students and their families to improve student outcome. One way may be parental involvement. Another way might be to teach effective parenting skills which could in turn increase parental involvement in education particularly...

INTRODUCTION: Attention Getter: Palo Alto, California is home to one of the most prestigious and competitive school districts in the country, which is located near Stanford University. The school district is made up of twelve primary schools, three middle schools and two high schools. Since 2009, there have been 4 reported student suicides due to the intense school environment and rigorous workload. The domino effect of suicides started in particular with high schooler Jean-Paul Blanchard. Jean-Paul was known for his kindness, compassion, and social skills. He worked hard to keep a balance between school work, his social life, and mental health but it became too much for him to handle. He needed a break and had trouble finding a proper escape, which caused him to jump in front of...

This information was then used to formulate a nursing diagnosis, also to show the audience how the families live their lives, and how they deal with the struggles of life, health concerns, beliefs, values, activity’s, and relaxation. Values and Health Perception While assessing the Varcela family, they have very strong spiritual beliefs in the Catholic religion.

...Fishing Community The fisheries sector plays an important role in food consumption, nutrition, employment and export. The sector contributes more than 5% of Bangladesh's GDP and 9% of its export earnings and it employs 1.4 million people. From time immemorial, a large number of Bengali people have depended for their livelihood on fishing and related occupations. Fishermen in rural Bangladesh usually live a community life in neighbourhoods or villages around the water bodies. They cooperate closely with one another not only in fishing, or in the cooperative utilisation of fishing grounds, but also in economic activities, such as marketing and purchasing, and in social life and family affairs. They have lived communally for many generations, creating in the process their own history, distinct traditions, and patterns of daily life. Traditionally, fishermen have been Hindus. After analysing the report on the CENSUS of 1872, WW HUNTER had concluded that Muslims clung closer to the land and did not follow any trade in sowing or harvesting seasons to supplement their income. But like Hindus, they worked as fishermen, boatmen, or house builders during seasons when their labour in the field was not required. For Hindus, fishing has a traditional link with the caste system and is hereditary. Hindu fishermen believe their occupation to be sacred, although in the cast hierarchy, the fishermen are ranked the lowest of all occupational groups. But fishing is hardly a hereditary or a sacred...
