...education was one of the biggest turning points for African Americans to becoming accepted into white society at the time. Brown vs. Board of education to this day remains one of, if not the most important cases that African Americans have brought to the surface for the better of the United States. Brown v. Board of Education was not simply about children and education (Silent Covenants pg 11); it was about being equal in a society that claims African Americans were treated equal, when in fact they were definitely not. This case was the starting point for many Americans to realize that separate but equal did not work. The separate but equal label did not make sense either, the circumstances were clearly not separate but equal. Brown v. Board of Education brought this out, this case was the reason that blacks and whites no longer have separate restrooms and water fountains, this was the case that truly destroyed the saying separate but equal, Brown vs. Board of education truly made everyone equal. The case started in Topeka, Kansas, a black third-grader named Linda Brown had to walk one mile through a railroad switchyard to get to her black elementary school, even though a white elementary school was only seven blocks away. Linda's father, Oliver Brown, tried to enroll her in the white elementary school seven blocks from her house, but the principal of the school refused simply because the child was black. Brown went to McKinley Burnett, the head of Topeka's branch of the National Association...

...Home School vs Public School Sondra Silverberg Essentials of Sociology Everest University Online Prof. Pamela Collins December 15, 2012 It’s 1845 an aristocratic gentleman and his wife are about to leave in their horse drawn carriage only to return in a few days. Their two daughters are preparing for their lesson with their teacher who resides in the home. Although, somewhat unheard of, this family made an exception and allowed their teacher to move into the home. During the pre-1850’s many children were educated in private schools or at home. In larger communities and towns grammar schools were readily available, attendance was not a forced issue and the parents had a right to choose how their children were educated without question or judgment. Today of course it seems odd to hear of a child being homeschooled although, with events such as Columbine and the incidents of December 14th, 2012 it really makes a parent ask the question is homeschooling a safer alternative to public schools? Are public schools living up to their expectations, or is homeschooling going to become a much needed option? Finally, after my research and further readings is this something that I should consider for my children? Columbine occurred when I was in my eighth grade year, then it was, “twelve students one teacher, and the murders were dead; plus twenty-one were injured” (Rosenberg). That was scary in itself; I remember thinking could this happen here? Schools started integrating safety...

The beginning of online education is a characteristic of technical modernization which has developed increasingly in reputation. Online education has helped various groups of individuals have access to an education. It gives an alternate option to the traditional route of education which is economically practical. It also offers a vast range of learning experiences for job development. Online education costs less than the traditional education. Online schools provide all of the study materials needed, which the costs are cheaper than the textbooks. In addition, students do not have to worry about geographical restrictions to enroll. The students can choose to enroll into any academic institution that offers an online program suitable to the student’s needs while staying in the comfort of their homes. They can save on costs incurred from transportation, board and lodgings. Learning takes place online through print communication, teleconferencing, electronic mail, forum discussion and instructional multimedia.

One of the most important improvements with an online education is its flexibilities. It has enabled higher...

A. - Institute of Education, Olabisi Onabanjo University, Ago-Iwoye, Ogun State, Nigeria E-mail: kingdemola@yahoo.com Abstract This study compared study habit, self-concept and science achievement of students in public and private junior secondary schools in Ogun State, Nigeria. Twelve secondary schools were randomly selected from Egba and Ijebu divisions of the state. A sample of three hundred and sixty (360) students participated in the study. Three research instruments were used to collect data. There was no significant difference in study habit and selfconcept of students in public and private schools. However, private school students performed significantly better than their public school counterparts in integrated science (t = 3.400, p<0.05). In both public and private schools student study habit and self-concept combined together and singularly predicted science achievement. Counsellors should encourage students to study and also train them on how to improve their self-concept in order to improve science achievement. Key Words: Study habit, self-concept, science achievement, public and private schools, junior secondary schools. Introduction Scientific discoveries affecting individuals and the society at large are frequently...

... the government is responsible for educating its citizens about persuasive techniques and advertising. The Consumer Bill of Rights asserts the people’s right to be informed and their right to consumer education. Public opinion must be logical in order for us to properly evaluate our Democracy. Our current educational system produces uneducated citizens who are unprepared to analyze persuasive messages in such a logical manner. The government is responsible for educating its citizens about persuasive techniques and advertising because the Consumer Bill of Rights asserts the people’s right to be informed and their right to consumer education. President John F. Kennedy introduced the Consumer Bill of Rights in 1962. This legislation asserts that the American people have four fundamental consumer rights: the right to safety, the right to choose, the right to be heard, and the right to be informed. The right to be informed protects against misleading...

... but in the eyes of the government he was black. He refused to get up and go to the black section on the train. The court ruled the law as constitutional, this opened up the way to even more segregation laws. These laws are known as the Jim Crow Laws. During the Jim Crow era, it was illegal for a white man to marry a black woman, or for a white woman to marry a black man (“Jim Crow Laws” To Kill a Mockingbird, ). In Adolphus Raymond is a drunk who is married to a black woman (Lee, 267). But it turns out that he doesn’t even drink (Lee, 267). He drinks so that people will think he married a black woman because he is a drunk and doesn’t know what he’s doing (Lee, 267). The Jim Crow Laws made it to where only white people could own public buildings and run a business (“Jim Crow LawsSeparate is not Equal”). To Kill a Mockingbird shows the town of Maycomb highly segregated. The people, white and black, lived in separate parts of town, and the white people ran the town. Most people looked down on the black people, but people like Atticus wanted things to change. These laws were designed to keep black and...

...when deciding where to enroll? There are a variety of factors that influence a student’s decision to enroll. Factors such as cost and the availability of financial aid are universally important at all types of institutions. However, other factors can vary widely by institution type, demographics, class level, and whether the student enrolled at his or her top choice. Every year, hundreds of campuses administer the Noel-Levitz Student Satisfaction Inventory™ (SSI) to their students. In addition to more than 70 items rated for importance and satisfaction on the general student experience, the SSI includes nine items that address factors in a student’s decision to enroll. During the fall of 2011, more than 55,000 students from more than 100 public and private fouryear and two-year institutions completed the SSI. These students rated the factors to enroll items on a scale of one (meaning not important at all) to seven (very important). This report details the responses from the nationwide pool of data. In particular, this report has a special emphasis on the nearly 22,000 first-year students who responded in order to see which items scored higher with ratings of important or very important (a ranking of six or seven on the answer scale). Comparisons with upperclass students and between students at their first-choice institution versus those attending their second- or third-choice institution are also provided. In addition, the report highlights trend results in enrollment factors as...

...Children’s Internet Protection Act, 2000 Federal Communications Commissions: Federal law created by the Congress to address concerns about viewing offensive sites in school and library computers. Early 2001, CIPA regulated rules and requirements for certain schools and libraries that are eligible to receive funds. These rules and regulations are towards those who receive funds through E-rate- a program that makes certain communication technologies more affordable. CIPA states that: 1) Schools and libraries may not receive funds unless internet and computer has a child safety measure program. Also, this facility must hold one public meeting to address the proposal. 2) Schools under the CIPA must enforce internet monitoring for minors. 3) Schools and libraries subject to CIPA are required to adopt and implement an Internet safety policy addressing: (a) access by minors to inappropriate matter on the Internet; (b) the safety and security of minors when using electronic mail, chat rooms and other forms of direct electronic communications; (c) unauthorized access, including so-called “hacking,” and other unlawful activities by minors online; (d) unauthorized disclosure, use, and dissemination of personal information regarding minors; and (e) measures restricting minors’ access to materials harmful to them. Schools and libraries must have safety policies and computers in proper working functions for the minors before receiving E-rate funding.

...Print Media Vs Electronic Media We are living in a rapidly developing and modernized era where technology is taking charge in every walks of our life. This technology may come with many advantages and disadvantages as well. Every development is due to rapid modernization, improvement of old administration methods and the use of new technology to make things even better. However with the growing modernization human demand for knowledge is also increasing. Media serves an important role in keeping people informed about the events and innovations around the globe. This information may reach us in two forms, either through print media which is the oldest method, or the other one can be electronic media. With the improvement of electronic media during past few years and daily reports on achievements, electronic media has dominated over print media during past few years. Print media is the oldest form of Mass Media, and still not outdated. Daily about 70% of people start their day by reading newspaper, which is the oldest media around the world. Newspaper gives us information about whole world within few minutes of reading session, with a choice to skip the topics that we are not really interested about. Print Media still forms an important part of Media Industry which has been given a competition by electronic media and a new technology called e-newspaper applications. But still newspaper holds its value even today and is competing strongly with technology backed media. Basically...

...ideology and religious fundamentalism. My dependant variable is President Bush’s 2006 veto of the Stem Cell Enhancement Act, also known as the H.R. 810 Bill. EXPECTATIONS: I expect to find overwhelming and convincing evidence to corroborate my assertion that the expanding influence of conservative political ideology and religious fundamentalism in America are the two most profound independent variables to affect President Bush’s 2006 veto of the Stem Cell Research Enhancement Act. I also expect to obtain convincing evidence that political conservatism and religiosity have an interactive effect on the public attitude towards stem cell research which directly influences federal policy concerning this controversial issue. It is my contention that the preponderance of evidence will confirm my theory that as the level of conservatism and religious zeal rises; the public support and enthusiasm for stem cell research will wane proportionally, resulting in federal policies that continue to be restrictive and obtuse. EVIDENCE THAT SUPPORTS THE CLAIM: With the advent of technology and subsequent advances in human stem cell research, the scientific and medical communities were inspired to pressure our government to define a generous federal policy concerning the funding and guidelines for embryonic stem cell research. In July of 2006, President Bush issued his first veto in 5 ½ years in office, rejecting a bill that would have loosened the existing restrictions on federal funding...
