...College athletes are manipulated every day. Student athletes are working day in and day out to meet academic standards and to keep their level of play competitive. These athletes need to be rewarded and credited for their achievements. Not only are these athletes not being rewarded but they are also living with no money. Because the athletes are living off of no money they are very vulnerable to taking money from boosters and others that are willing to help them out. The problem with this is that the athletes are not only getting themselves in trouble but their athletic departments as well. Recently college athletes have been granted permission to work, from the NCAA. Even with this permission, their jobs are still regulated. One regulation to the athletes working is that they cannot work for alumni of the school. The NCAA has this rule because they feel if athletes work for people with close ties to the school then they will be receiving special benefits while working. These special benefits include, (but are not limited to), athletes being paid while not at work and higher salaries then other workers doing the same job (Anstine 4). Another restraint to college athletes working is a time restraint. College athletes have very busy schedules they follow and when finished with their schedules they are left with very little free time. Student athletes are required to take a minimum of twelve credit hours to start the semester and required to pass at least nine credit...

...McCowell High School Teachers vs. College Professors Many people assume that a teacher is a teacher regardless of whether they teach high school or college, but in reality there are many differences between the two. Although high school’s purpose is to prepare a student for college, a high school teacher is much more lenient and will push you to get things done. As many college students will tell you, a professor will not wait on you to do work and will not bend the rules for you. Regardless of what some may think, there are many differences between educators who teach at different levels. The differences range from different grading styles and policies to due dates and deadlines. High school teachers let their students get away with so much stuff. The students can get away with skipping, texting in class, cheating, and numerous other “illegal” school activities. Most high school students do not apply themselves when it comes to doing school work and projects. So they just sit there in class and try to be the class clown. They know that their punishment for disrupting the class is not going to be severe. In high school, the punishment will not be as strict as a college professor would administer. If a student in high school has a cell phone out and is caught, the phone is taken away and then later given back. The high school student obviously gets a less severe punishment and only looses a cell phone for a few hours. To get out of anything in high school, all you really...

Would students feel more enthusiastic towards school if they did not need to drown themselves in debt in order to pay for it? Around the country there are tens of millions of students attending college, and every year a third of the students who don't receive government aid have to figure out a way to pay their college tuition, books, and find a way of to manage their time enough to fit school and a fulltime job. This leads to students not having bare minimum social interactions with the people around them, this essentially leads to students becoming depressed and soon start lacking the will to go to school.

...Policy booklet published in March 1967 "Education for Self-Reliance" Julius Nyerere Since long before independence the people of this country, under the leadership of TANU, have been demanding more education for their children. But we have never really stopped to consider why we want education—what its purpose is. Therefore, although over time there have been various criticisms about the details of curricula provided in schools, we have not until now questioned the basic system of education which we took over at the time of, independence. We have never done that because we have never thought about education except in terms of obtaining teachers, engineers, administrators, etc. Individually and collectively we have in practice thought of education as a training for the skills required to earn high salaries in the modern sector of our economy. It is now time that we looked again at the justification for a poor society like ours spending almost 20 per cent of its Government revenues on providing education for its children and young people, and began to consider what that education should be doing. For in our circumstances it is impossible to devote Shs. 147,330,000/- every year to education for some of our children (while others go without) unless its result has a proportionate relevance, to the society we are trying to create. The educational systems in different kinds of societies in the world have been, and are, very different in organization and in content. They are different...

...assignment I have to critically examine the classical school of organisation and management and describe to what extent is this school of thought still applicable and relevant in the context of business organisations today and the challenges currently facing UK management. At present, training of modern manager professionals becomes very important. It is not possible without knowledge of the history management development. Management has evolved over the centuries, before becoming an independent branch of knowledge science. Significant influence on the formation of management provided by: 1. The classical school 2. The behavioral school 3. The quantitative or management science school 4. The systems school 5. The contingency school Distinguish the main directions of the classical school of management are scientific management, administrative management and bureaucracy management. The main strength of the classical school of management is that they are considered management as a universal process consisting of several interrelated functions, and the basic principles of management. They formulated a systematic theory of management throughout the organization by providing management as a special kind of activity. The representatives of this school were Frederick Taylor, Henri Fayol and Max Weber. F. Taylor (1856-1915) made the first major step to consider management as a science. His idea of the division of work on the most simple operations lead to the creation...

...specifically looking for college graduates for their new employees, students automatically assume that college education is required to be financially stable in the future. In the human society, money is important, and is necessary. People do work because not only they need money in order to live but also most people's life goals are to make enough money to spend for some luxury, or for their children. That is why being a millionaire is considered as a success by people. They have achieved most people's life goal: being rich and not worrying about money. People who have college diploma are more likely to be financially stable compared to people who only have high school diploma(U.S. Census Bureau, 2000). Due to this fact, people go to college for the better career opportunity in order to make lots of money and be successful in the...

...in the schools and playgrounds not in the garages and factories. Unfortunately, in Pakistan most of the children do not attend school. According to the recent global competitiveness report issued by UN, Pakistan has the second highest number out of school children approximately 25 million. The major reason behind the low enrolment of the children is poverty. Most of the poor families in rural Pakistan prefer to send their children to work instead of allowing them to get education. These children either work in the agricultural lands or at the shops and factories in the nearby towns. The wages offered to these children are very low and they are also mistreated by their employers most often. Some of these children also become the victim of child abuse. The government has introduced various incentives in order to improve the enrolment of the children into schools but has failed completely in improving the enrolment rate. According to the article 25-A, the government is required to provide quality compulsory education to the children in the age group of five to sixteen years. But unfortunately, the presence of the children on roads selling various items, in garages and in factories suggests that government has failed to fulfil its responsibility. There are thousands of government schools in Pakistan but most of them are inefficient. Many of these schools are without building and other infrastructural facilities. The quality of education being provided in these schools is also...

...traditional education has been the only form of education for hundreds of years, online education offers a new and improved style of learning. When people think of education, they think of a classroom filled with desks, paper, books, and other students. After all, this is how humans have been taught for generations. This is an example of traditional education. Traditional education is when students attend a school and are taught in a formal classroom setting. There is an instructor that teaches the class by giving demonstrations or by lecturing. It allows the students to have face-to-face interaction with the instructor or their fellow students. Traditional education has never been very flexible. There are scheduled times for class and working around that schedule can prove to be difficult. Often times, life events can conflict with the class schedule. This can cause students to miss class and fall behind in their work. While traditional education is not very flexible, online education is. Online education is the use of technology to share educational information and to teach students. It often only requires a computer and an Internet connection. The classroom setting of an online education can be anywhere. You can work from the comfort of your own home or while you are at the library. As long as you have access to a computer with Internet, you can go to school. In many situations, you can also complete the school work on your...

...Every day, the average high school student walks into the most intense academic battlefield; a place where lying, cheating, and being a sycophant has become common resorts for people to finally reach the top of their class. If the student makes all the right moves at the right time, then they may have a slim shot at being valedictorian. Ranking students have been a part of the traditional high school system but in 2006, nearly 40 percent of all high schools had stopped ranking their students (Finder).Since then that number is only climbing. Although class ranking systems offer students an incentive to work hard, it may not be benefiting students because it is detrimental to their health, provides little to no practical assets in colleges,...

...time you spend in school. Instead of having kids sitting in school for hours and hours a day I believe that short sweet and simple school days should take over. There is generally a lot of wasted time during the school day and everyone could receive benefits for shorter days. The teachers would have a lot more time on their hands to grade papers. With all their extra time they can devote more time to their students and any help they may require. The kids would benefit because no one wants to be in school hours on end. Kids would have more free time in their day. They would not need to stress over getting homework done on top of playing sports or any extracurricular activities that promote kids being healthy. They would also benefit because if they start to fall behind in school they can easily stay after class and get the help they need while not worrying about a ride home or missing the bus. Both teachers and kids alike would benefit from the sleep they receive from, not staying up all night trying to get homework done. The overall stress of going to school and having a thousand things running through your head would be eliminated. They both spend more time with family and friends. They have all this free time to get school work done could improve on people being social and stepping away from their cell phones for a change. Today’s school system only focuses on tests to grade how well kids are doing. You see one side of the story with tests. The schools should follow the...

...Personal Responsibility As I have been growing up I have learned the importance of personal responsibility. I have a personal responsibility to my family, health, and school. I have responsibility to my family especially my son by being a committed person and hard worker to provide for him. I have a responsibility to maintain a healthy lifestyle to be able to provide for my son so that I do not get sick often and not jeopardizing my academic and personal life. I also have a personal responsibility to my school because school will be able to open doors or opportunities I never thought existed. One of my most important personal responsibilities is to my family, especially my four-year-old son, Drew. I, as his mother, have the greatest responsibility to provide for him. One way I am able to provide for him is by my hard work and commitment. Advice I was often told by my parents, while I was growing up, was to always finish what I start and work hard. In order for Drew to have basic needs, such as food, shelter and clothing I need to work to provide these for him, therefore I need to work. Through my years of working, I always commit myself, at work, to do the best I can and work hard at every company I have been employed. Looking back at all the different companies I have been employed, my commitment and hard work have paid off. Every time I have looked for employment and have asked previous supervisors and co-workers for references I end up being hired at their company. I...

...Hypothetical Scenario: Your school is considering going to school year round. If school was to go year round there could be multiple of stuff that could make it displeasing for the students and teachers. First is problem in this scenario is summer break, then there is the problem of kids skipping half days because the electives aren’t as important as core classes and also the problem of students having a great breaks from learning math, english, science, and history during the school year. To me in my life taking summer break will be a bad thing, not only for me but also for my dad because he relies on me for the three months of no school to increase the amount of work/money he gets which affects my family a lot. I know many teens who do the same with their family, three weeks off after every nine weeks of school would be pretty cool I’d admit but it wouldn’t be enough to help family businesses like construction like what I do. After all it doesn’t take three weeks or four weeks to finish a big apartment building that my family works on every summer break, or doing field work. The amount of time off is not great enough for all those who do hard labor, in a city it would be more fitting of this school schedule but in a place in montana where...

...New Norfolk High Cost-Benefit Analysis: Initial Establishment Costs: Initial costs should be low, as the school will only be using existing hardware and software so the school only needs to pay a weekly salary. However once the Intranet has been put in place training costs and final project costs will need to be paid. Consultants No consultants aside from the group members will be required so this cost will not feature in the project cost analysis Research: While research into the development of High school intranets need to be made the costs will be factored into the weekly hours of the group. Research into the operations and general maintenance will also need to be undertaken but this cost has also been factored into the hours spent per week. Hardware and Software Requirements: It has been specified by the New Norfolk high school that the Intranet should work on their existing hardware and software so no extra hardware/software costs need to be considered. However as the project is limited to only 13 weeks and the project team has little experience in the programming skills the school requires. It has become apparent that the project team may need to externally source an Intranet program. Only a basic platform is required as the skills within the project team are sufficient to modify the Intranet to meet all the schools requirements. There is concern as to the platform on which the Intranet will be run as limited experience in networking and...
