Mrs. Carson was a very nice person outside of class[,]SEMI-COLON howeverCOMMA her toughness really displayed itself when she graded papers. Her main focus[ed] was grammar and clean organization rather than THE ideas of the topic. The entire year I struggled with her; each assignment I struggled to form my papers the way she would want and failed to remember the grammar rules and writing standards. One assignment I can remember clearly, to this day, and I will never forgetCOMMA was the combined research paper for MY English and History classes.

...princesses, and candy islands with lemonade seas, riddled with grammatical errors and misspelled words. The power of imagination spilled out of child’s brain simply by putting pencil to paper – or wall. Of course, many years later my writing has evolved from writing about chocolate rivers to less imaginative essay about what an author meant by “the sky is blue”. Writing has never been my favorite subject in school, however with an eleventh grade English teacher, I learned to tolerate it. My mother taught me almost everything I know about writing; what my teachers failed to teach me at school, my mother taught me at home. She has made sure I have written every essay, personal statement or research...

...of management | Term Paper on Application of Reinforcement TheoryIn Educational Setting | Submitted to: Ms. Jyoti Regmi Adhikary | Course Instructor (Organizational Behavior) | Kathmandu University School of Management | | | Submitted by: Neha Jatiya, BBA 5th Semester, Roll no: 11739 | 10/12/2014 | | Abstract Reinforcement theory has been a basis for understanding the behavioral implication of human beings for a long period of time. However, whether or not the application of these concepts in educational sector in Nepalese context is relevant is a matter of concern; particularly in absence of adequate research findings. The purpose of this article is to discuss the application and implications of reinforcement theory and its related aspects in educational context. Since reinforcement theory is much relevant in terms of explaining, predicting and controlling behavior of individuals, its application and implication should be studied extensively in each and every sector.

...Peace School. In first Grade, I learned basic grammar and spelling. In Second Grade, my pencil stayed on the paper continually as I wrote in cursive for the first time. It was very exciting and I loved being able to write faster and therefore get assignments done quicker. Math was hard and challenging because each day the class had to complete 100 math problems in a certain amount of time. When third grade arrived, it was on to book reports and short stories in literature. One book report each month was required and I got the choice of presenting my report with a shoebox presentation or poster. There were lots of interesting books I explored and a lot of unique topics I was discovering. Fourth Grade contained more homework, but I got through it. At...

For 12 long years, my mother has struggled to get my brother through school, from him failing all year long and managing to barley pass to teachers moving him forward because they don't want him as a student again when he had to repeat the grade. Even with the constant battle to get him to even turn in school work and the teachers seeing that he isn't a star pupil, his counselor are still pushing college pamphlets under his nose. Granted a community college was suggested for extra practice before he should try any universities, it's still baffling that the system thinks college is good for a student who barely made is through high...

The authors are Drew P. Cingel and S. Shyam Sundar. The article was published in December 2012 * The paper states the new generations methods of learning are changing towards technological ways such as communication technologies. * What fascinated me was why the new generation cannot use proper grammar when texting or chatting. Is there a way that the educational system could adapt to the new generation’s method of learning or even differentiate between when to use bad grammar and correct grammar. * The author uses quantitative research by preforming an experiment suing 228 students. Also, the research is qualitative because the research is than analyzed to assume a new method of learning. * The author is examining 228 sixth, seventh, and eighth graders. * The author asks, “Does the increased use of text messaging engender greater reliance on such textual adaptations to the point of altering one’s sense written grammar? * Why should teaching and learning methods evolve at the same pace as technology? 2) Kristin A.

...Comparative Religions Professor: Research Paper Assignment: Branch Davidians and David Koresh The Branch Davidians began as an offshoot sect of the Seventh-Day Adventist Church in 1935. They were initially a small group lead by a man named Victor Houteff who had some differing beliefs from the church. Houteff was convinced there were errors in the Adventists doctrines and practices and wrote a book called The Shepherd’s Rod outlining these errors and it caused some conflict within the church. He with 11 members founded the Mt. Carmel Center near Waco Texas; they also called their group The Shepherd’s Rod. (Robinson, 2003) Houteff and his group believed that Christ's return would only occur when at least a small number of Christians had been sufficiently purified. He believed that he was a messenger sent by God to conduct this cleansing. The cleansing and tasks he saw this group as being responsible for had two parts. The first was to reveal secret information contained in a scroll described in the book of Revelations. This scroll, described as having seven seals, they believed told of exactly when and how Jesus would return and how the world would end. The second task required the purifying of this small group and once done would bring about the downfall of Babylon (our current world) and would establish the Kingdom of David in its place. They felt that they were the chosen group. Infighting went on within the Seventh Day Adventists Church for many years until a complete...

...Analysis Paper Donna Easter University of Virginia Introduction to the Gifted and Talented EDLF 5500 Dr. Kelly Hedrick October 02, 2011 Character Analysis Paper In summarizing the movie Akeelah and the Bee this writer will begin with a description of the leading character Akeelah Anderson. Akeelah is an eleven-year-old seventh grade African-American female living in the inner city. Her educational background revealed she was promoted to a higher level in the second grade. This caused her to be a young middle school student. She is the youngest child of four children. Her father was murdered which caused her to be the product of a single family home. She attended a school that appeared to be aged and had a history of low academic achievement. She was invited to participate in her schools spelling bee where she became the winner for the school. This movie was a depiction of her journey to a national title. While Akeelah demonstrated many gifted characteristics. Research indicates that culturally different learner’s score on average lower than middle-class students on standardize intelligence tests. This may have been the case for Akeelah. According to Frasier & Garcia, (1995) test bias, selective referrals and reliance on deficit-based paradigms cause underrepresentation and identification of minority students in gifted programs. These children are not easily identified and remain invisible (Davis, Rimm, & Siegle, 2011, p. 328). Current research also reflects...

... Institution: Course: Tutor: Date: A. RESEARCH TOPIC The majority individuals would have the same opinion that a key objective of education must involve the expansion of learners’ comprehension of fundamental mathematical theories along with procedures. Every student, comprising learners with impairments and students vulnerable to failure, require gaining the know-how and capabilities that may allow them into “understanding” math-associated questions which they come across everyday at domicile as well as in upcoming work incidences. Unluckily, substantial evidence exists to designate that such goal isn’t being achieved, particularly for kids manifesting learning problems. Because the initial dispiriting outcomes of arithmetic accomplishment discovered with State Evaluation of Schooling Progress (SESP) during 1974, insufficient evidence exists to indicate that arithmetic accomplishment has increased considerably, particularly for learners with impairments (Spinelli, 2012). The intention for this research is to identify technology effectiveness towards fundamental arithmetic fluency. As a component of the classroom educational involvement, the research was carried out with ten learners with fair to stern cognitive impairments registered into a school of special training. This five-week research employed a solitary-case turnaround plan (ABAB). Data examination involved visual along with numerical techniques...

...Do Alcohol Ads Deliberately Target Our Youth? To question if alcohol ads deliberately target our youth is almost irrelevant. Everyone has their own opinion and views on alcohol and its advertising. There has been countless amounts of research done on every aspect of alcohol. Anything can be advertised, but it does not do any good to advertise something without first finding an audience. It does not matter what the brand, product, or item is that the advertiser is trying to sell. All good advertisers know who their audience is and what they want to hear. Although underage drinking is against the law alcohol advertisements are shown to many people under the legal age. All advertisers know that although teenagers cannot legally consume alcohol they want to include teenagers in their audience because while it is still illegal now they will be twenty one and legal one day. The question is not so much do they target youth as much as it is do they target youth to young? Though alcohol consumption has decreased slightly in the last 15 years, alcohol use continues to be a major public health issue among youth according to the CDC (11). Actually, alcohol is the number one health and safety risk for young people. Over 74% of high school students have had at least one alcoholic drink; over 25% have tried alcohol before age 13 (17). In 2004, a study by Chisholm and Rehm estimated drinking by youth accounted for at least 16% of all alcohol sales in 2001(787). It has begun to...

...Grade Failure, Drop out and Subsequent School Outcomes: Quasi-Experimental Evidence from Uruguayan Administrative Data Marco Manacorda This version: November 2006 QMUL, CEP and STICERD (LSE) and CEPR This paper uses administrative longitudinal micro data on about 100,000 Uruguayan students in public non-vocational Junior High school (grades 7-9) to identify the causal effect of grade failure on students' subsequent school outcomes. Exploiting the discontinuity in promotion rates induced by a rule that establishes that a pupil missing more than 25 days during the school year will automatically fail that grade I show that grade failure leads to substantial drop out and lower educational attainment after 4 to 5 years since the time when failure first occurred. Complementary evidence based on a change in the regime of grade promotion provides additional support for this conclusion. Keywords: grade retention, school drop out, age-grade distortion, regression discontinuity.

...Communication Theory – Unit 2 Hye-Jin Paek, B. H. (2011). Roles of interpersonal and media socialization agents in adolescent self-reported health literacy: a health socialization perspective. Health Education Research , 26 (1), 131-149. The program was implemented by faculty from the Departments of Advertising, Public Relations and Retailing, at Michigan State University and University of Georgia. The survey was conducted among seventh-grade students in three rural and urban public school districts in Georgia: Clayton (urban), Worth (rural) and Sylvester (rural). This was an IRB approved study, that required obtained parental consent prior to enrolling the adolescent subject in the study. The purpose of this study was to examine the social aspect of health literacy education, particularly in the young adult population. The authors proposed a health socialization model to increase the exposure of the adolescent population to health literacy. They define health literacy as, “the degree to which individuals have the capacity to obtain, process, and understand basic health information and services needed to make appropriate health decisions.” One of the three hypotheses presented in the paper focuses on the comparison of interpersonal socialization to media effects on health literacy, suggesting that interpersonal effects can exceed those of media on the teens in the target population. The study was...
