...money families must spend. College in itself is a leading cause of poverty among people in the United States. For some families, the cost in itself could break them, for others the fact that they can not afford to pursue a higher education can be a cause of falling into insular poverty.

...Being raised by an impoverished Hispanic family led to my parents desiring the very best for me. A preconception that friends were distractions and that education was the first priority was instilled within me from a very young age. At first, throughout my years in Meadowbrook Elementary and Seminole Middle school, I was able to keep up with all of my academics by myself. Soon, however, this concept of a free for all environment within a high school setting was, in hindsight, a disadvantage in the long run. By not creating those ever-lasting connections with other students from an early age, I entered high school as a lone wolf, which resulted in carrying all of my academics on my own shoulder compared to others who worked amongst each other to be more...

To cite but one example, thirty-four nations participated in the 1999 Trends in International Math and Science study(TIMSS) competitions. U.S students scored nineteenth in math, behind Singapore, Korea, Japan, Canada, and even behind Slovenia, Bulgaria, and Latvia. And they did only slightly better in science, scoring eighteenth. The problem is not confined to math and science. The deficiencies of U.S students in Geography and English-- their native language!--are legendary. What could cause such embarrassing deficiencies?"(P.147 Ruggiero).

...What is your plan after you get out of high school? I would like to go to a good college that is well respected nation wide. This is a similar opinion for many High School and Jr. High students. Many students would like to attend a good college but they do not know what school to pick. When deciding what school is the best place for you and for you to learn, you need to take in account a lot of things. These things can determine what college can make you get the best college experience. Such as their sports programs, their student acceptance rate, their campus, the colleges expenses and tuition, and their living facilities. A big part of college, and it will be for me, is the college's sports program. If a school has a good sports program...

...used criteria in abstinence-only education and found that 11 out of the 13 things taught were false or unproven when it comes to health, gender, and life beginning (The Truth). Some examples of these false things taught are that at 43 days old a fetus can think in the womb, 10% of women cannot reproduce again after having an abortion, and HIV can be transmitted through tears and sweat (The Truth). Furthermore, Abstinence-only sex education classes often teach that condoms are not effective at preventing pregnancies, when in reality in couples who use condoms correctly, women have less than a 3 percent chance of becoming pregnant by accident (The Truth). By scaring teenagers like this, abstinence-only classes hope that the teenagers will be scared out of having sex, when in reality they will do it anyway. The Director of Education at Planned Parenthood, Marilyn Anderson, talked about the goal of abstinence-only education when she said “The whole idea is to scare kids and make them think they’ll get HIV by having sex, but what’s walking into our clinic says kids are having sex, just without condoms” (“Abstinence-Only”). This shows that teenagers will have sex no matter what, and by educating them, they can avoid...

These factors have played a large role in deciding what i think i want to do with the rest of my life. Some of my concerns however have been the relevance of each job option ten years from now and what the market and demand will be like. The good news is that there is a new industry that has recently grown within the last two years that has proved to be highly profitable which is the legal selling of recreational marijuana. I had first heard of the wealth made from becoming a Physician's assistant from a documentary on the career through Vice News. The reporters had gone into great detail on...

...8 References…………………………….…………………………………………………………11 Proposed Business Problem Statement The importance of obtaining a college education to work in today’s society cannot be overstated. That is why in recent years high schools have started to encourage students to pursue a college education as well as begin to prepare the students for college. The current methods high schools are implementing offer general ways of preparing students for college that are often times ineffective and lack proper execution. Since college preparation is critical for high school students to increase their chance of successfully graduating from college, it is now more crucial than ever before to provide proper college preparation for tomorrow’s college students. However college preparation requires more than just helpful techniques for studying and teaching yourself. College preparation also requires a good amount of hard work and learning core subjects that form the foundation for which we build our knowledge upon in college. We are aware that the majority of future jobs involve science, mathematics, and technology skills to be successful in, that is why our tutoring subjects will primarily be focused on science and technologies. Overall, our mission is to provide a quality college preparation service paired with effective tutoring for high school students that potentially want to pursue...

...Educational Advantage - Investing in the Philippines’ Economic Future Background For decades, the Philippines could boast of being one of the most highly educated developing countries. Its enrollment rates at all levels of education were higher than those of other countries with comparable, or even higher, income levels. But no longer. Any edge that the Philippines might have had in its human capital has eroded as more developing countries – Indonesia, Malaysia, Thailand, and Vietnam, as cases in point – have achieved higher enrollment rates even at the secondary level (figure 1). In addition, a large number of children who enter school do not reach the last grade in the cycle—about 30 percent of those who enter grade 1 and about 25 percent of those who enter first year high school. And since transition rates from elementary to high school are still low, the rate of high school completion for children who enter grade 1 is less than 50 percent. But much more troubling than lagging enrollment rates and completion levels is that students do not learn what they are supposed to in schools. One, Filipino eighth-graders performed dismally on international tests given in 1999, ranking 36th of 38 countries in math and science tests (Table 1). Table 1. Nearly last in student performance on mathematics and science tests: Ranking among 38 countries Mathematics score & Science score & rank rank Singapore 604 (1) 568 (2) Korea 587 (2) 549 (5) Taiwan 585 (3) 569 (1) Hong Kong 582 (4) 530 (15)...

...Problem Definition: Richard Lopez works with Sony Electronics and in their computer department with VAIO laptops. He has been directed to propose a plan to management for targeting market segment(s) in China and how to position and target the computers toward that market. In the past VAIO has appealed to those who were concerned with a premium product that sleek and stylish. Many of their users were those who wanted to make a status statement and own a computer that had aesthetic attributes. Additionally Lopez has access to three different market segment studies. The first of which was the Shanghai Report which segmented laptop owners in China based on age, gender, education, income, marital status, children, and access to internet. This study also targeted the market share of computer sales. The next study was the Chinese Laptop User Survey (CLUES) used to segment a survey of both laptop owners and those who were planning to purchase one within the next year. Similar to this was Project Compass which instead segmented owners and potential owners of all multimedia devices in eight different countries. This led to the next problem of an information overload making Lopez’s decision much more difficult. The problem with too much data in this case is because the two studies CLUES and Project Compass both lay out many different segments that can be targeted. Lopez must decide which segments to target based on his analysis. Him and his team needed to decide which studies provided...

...Abstract Few online high schools report requiring online education for their teachers, and few programs exist to prepare teachers to teach online (Smith, Clark, & Blomeyer, 2005). Professional development for online teachers continues to be a concern, and evaluative research that examines the effectiveness of various types of professional development is needed (Archambault & Crippen, 2009). The purpose of this exploratory study was to compare differences in online teachers’ selfreported frequency and confidence in performing online teaching tasks between teachers who had completed a comprehensive preparation program and teachers who participated in a one-day face-to-face workshop. Results found no differences between the groups and challenge conventions related to the nature and role of teacher preparation in online teaching. (Keywords: teacher education, online teaching, professional development, online learning, teacher preparation) nline learning at the K–12 level grows substantially each year. The issue is no longer whether or not online learning is or should occur, but rather how it is implemented. Watson, Murin, Vashaw, Gemin, and Rapp (2011) reported that, as of late 2011, online and blended learning opportunities exist for at least some students in all 50 U.S. states plus the District of Columbia and that there are now 30 states with full-time, multidistrict schools that enrolled an estimated total of 250,000 students in school year 2010–2011, for an annual increase of 25%...
