...(Second Draft) Most of all of Supreme Court case from the time of Tinker V. Des Monies case have restricted the student rights of expression, student must be free to express themselves without unfair limits and the Tinker vs. Des Moines cases affirmed the rights of students to express themselves and the 1st Amendment prohibits laws that limit free expression. The case of Tinker v. Des Monies was rather a simple one. The case of whether the first amendment applied to students or just adults. The students argued that they should be allowed to wear armbands to display their praise for the people of the dead during the war. The staff thought this shouldn’t be allowed, mostly because of their influence of their actions might disrupt the learning environment of the class and (possibly) the school. This is understandable. They only wanted was best for the students. Although they are doing this for the best for the students, isn’t this a little restricting? Yeah sure, they don’t want the students to form a riot, but not allowing them to express their feelings from the war by not letting them wear arm bands, worse case not allowing them to return until they didn’t wear it? That’s the reason why the case was started in the first place. This could be avoided if they were allowed to wear the armbands in school…to a certain extent that is. Besides, this could be the exact reason why a riot might form, the restrictions is causing a stressful strain to the students and couldn’t take much more...

...INTRODUCTION Education is the training and instruction designed to give knowledge to children and young people in schools and colleges (Cowie, 1989). Education is the social instrument through which we can guide nation’s destiny and shape its future (Panda, 1988). The purpose of education is not merely to contribute to the continuity of culture but also change peacefully and rationally the material foundations of civilization (Pervaiz et al., 1994). The traditional goal of education is transmission of the culture, the preservation of the past and the present and the development of intellect (Farooq, 1994). Education should help in improving the capabilities and skills of the students and introduce new ideas and values among them (Khalid, 1983). Education is the process through which knowledge is transmitted from one individual or section of society to another individual or section. The teacher is the most important factor of the teaching-learning process. The school’s most important influence is the teacher. He sets the tone of the classroom and establishes the mood of the group. He is the authority figure providing the direction for behavior. He is a model and is consciously imitated (Bernard, 1972).. The importance of teacher is recognized throughout the world (Panda and Mohanty, 2003). Good teachers are essential for the effective functioning of education system and for improving the quality of learning process. Job satisfaction enables teachers to put their...

...us to follow the same ethics principle and apply those principles to ethics in accounting practices. In this paper, I will bring a thorough discussion of how to make accounting behaviors become more ethical. Ethics in Accounting is what we really need to take into our consideration in this era, especially after the financial and accounting failures of many big firms such as Enron, WorldCom, AOL, Global Crossing, Tyco, Lehman and AIG. As a matter of fact, experts and analysts are trying to find out the root causes of these failures. It is also significant to realize that more and more fraud cases are detected in this era. Therefore, there is a big question that has been raised up: Are we facing a huge moral and ethical problem? I believe the answer for this question is “Yes”. And I think it is time to change the situation by reestablishing ethical practices in accounting. There are many ways to reestablish ethical practices in accounting and regain its moral foundation, and one of the most proper way is to introduce ethics to students more...

Teachers may not be aware of the consequences their discipline measures have injected in children’s mind children with misbehavioral problems will always be present in a regular classroom. Teachers are idols of pupils and they play a vital role in the development and upbringing of a child. The teacher will surely affect the childs learning activities. It is in this point that teachers should be aware in identifying the behaviour problems of their pupils. In the classroom , it is considered as an effective tool that enhances the teaching – learning process since it may guide the individual child toward the right conduct in a certain task. In general, discipline leads every person to be a holistic individual with reasonable values that facilitate a wholesome being. The tremendous, but definitely surmountable challenge for teachers in today’s situation in public elementary schools is how to balance their functions as classroom teachers. Altough teaching pupils istheir primary goal they must also be aware that discipline is the control to misbehaviours enforcing orderly conduct for effective learning.

...Nigeria. It also identifies, discusses and analyses the causes as well as the various ways conflicts manifested in the administration of secondary schools in the state. The effects of conflicts on school administration are equally examined. Quantitative and qualitative data were generated from both primary and secondary sources. The paper shows that administration of secondary schools in the state was hampered by high rate of conflicts. Several types of conflicts were identified in the schools among which were conflicts between management and staff, between staff and students, between the communities and schools, and inter-personal conflicts, to mention a few. The causes of conflicts in schools in the state included inadequate welfare package for workers, forceful and compulsory retirement/retrenchment of workers, administrative incompetence, personality clashes, role conflicts, and non-involvement of students in school administration. The fact that most of the school administrators were not knowledgeable in conflict management, coupled with the absence of laid down procedures for conflict management in most schools contributed to the high rate of conflicts and industrial actions in the schools. The paper concludes that the issue of conflict management in school administration has reached a point where effective use of relevant strategies can no longer be ignored. Keywords: administration, conflict management, education 1. INTRODUCTION Conflicts have become part and...

...CHAPTER I Introduction to the Study This chapter has eight parts: (1) Background of the Study, (2) Statement of the Problem, (3) Hypotheses, (4) Theoretical Framework, (5) Conceptual Framework, (6) Significance of the Study, (7) Scope and Limitations of the Study, and (8) Definitions of Terms. Background of the Study A laudable goal of elementary education is one that embraces pupils learning and helps prepare those pupils for a very competitive global society. In light of this one can argue that pupils’ achievement should be the main focus of every individual associated with school systems across our great nation. Teachers are a vital part of the educational system for they provide the motivation and support that pupils need in order to succeed. Yet, teachers also need to be motivated and supported in order to be productive. Teacher morale could suffer due to constant stress of trying to meet the educational goals. Improving teacher morale has many benefits in that it can help teachers to maintain a positive attitude and be happier at work (Govindarajan, 2012). Ellanberg as cited by Govindarajan (2012) found that where morale was high, schools showed an increase in pupils’ academic achievement. Conversely, low levels of morale can lead to decreased teacher productivity and burnout. Recent studies found out that the academic achievement of pupils in the Division of Antique did not meet the standard set by the Department of Education (Arguelles, 2012; Ople,2012; Doronila...

... Kim Williams Dr. A. Dorsett COMM 2425-04 12/5/12 The learning process, like a finely engineered automobile, is comprised of many key components that are important and necessary for things to properly function. According to the Merriam-Webster Dictionary, learning is defined as “knowledge or skill acquired by instruction or study.” The learning process encompasses much more than just acquiring knowledge. The traditional process of learning is student-centered, but revolves around the artful instruction of a teacher or professor. Students are typically given new information that they are taught to absorb and apply to everyday life. Most instructors try to relate their curriculum to situations that students will find relevant and applicable to conditions or circumstances that have occurred or will occur in the future. Through that technique, the facilitation of comprehending and remembering the material comes into effect. Just as different teachers have varied teaching styles, students also have different ways of learning and affixing meaning to certain information. The Kolb Model of Experiential Learning classifies four modes in the learning cycle. The first mode, concrete experimentation, is learning through doing something. The second mode, reflection, concentrates on thinking about the information relayed. Abstract conceptualization, the third mode, involves talking with others and applying what is already known to the situation. The last mode of Kolb’s...

...Running Head: Consensual Relationship Agreements Consensual Relationship Agreements Khristin Graves Peggy Terhune Organizational Behavior 10/28/2012 As we all know most jobs frown upon inner office relationships. Inner office relationships can complicate the work environment in a variety of was. These include but are not limited to sexual harassment suits or inappropriate behavior conducted by employees while on the job. So what are we to do with no time to look for love and it being against the rules at the one place we spend most of our time? I propose consensual relationship agreements or (CRA’s) a written contract in which romantically involved parties acknowledge and agree that there relationship is voluntary and consensual. (Hellriegel/Slocum, 2011) Let me explain the benefits of the consensual relationship agreements. 1. No one will need to sneak around this will stop rumors from spreading and keep the focus on work and not on office related gossip. Gossip and rumors create additional problems for a company and its employees. Gossip and rumors can bring down morale and even harm the people that the rumors are about. This is not what the work place is for so doing what we can to prevent distractions in the workplace is crucial. 2. The company is now aware of what’s going on and can better regulate any signs of harassment or favoritism that would occur among the parties. (Hellriegel/Slocum, 2011) The problems that can caused by an employee benefiting...
