...If I were to look around any one of my classes, I would see students working on homework that does not belong to that class. High school students are constantly going to, sports, club meetings, jobs and then family and friend commitments. With the average teenager having multiple hours of activities, it can be difficult to conclude all homework to the extent of accuracy needed to learn the material. Karin Klein states that, “A poll of public school teachers finds that on average, high school students are assigned 3.5 hours of homework per weeknight, or more than 17 hours a week.” (Klein). Having this load of homework makes students sacrifice their social life and sleep this creates stress and sleep loss. For this reason, I believe we need a study hall to help complete our work assigned to us. A couple of years ago we had T.I.G.E.R on Wednesday, where material was gone over such as bullying and hazing but homework was not allowed to be done. Having a study hall would be beneficial to all students. Other schools have study halls and are proven to work great for the students and their work ethics. Students could raise grades, for the reason that the resources they needed help to complete the work would be readily avaible. Therefore stress levels would be decreased and sleep, increased with more free...

...BS2232 Business Policy Session 1 – Introduction to Business Policy and Strategic Management Dr. Carola Wolf Term 1, 2012/2013 Business Policy and Strategic Management Business policy is the study of the roles and responsibilities of managers at all levels of the organization (top, middle, lower level management), the significant issues affecting organizational success and the decisions affecting organization in long-run. Business Policy demands a broadened understanding of how competition, world economies, politics, and social trends effect organizational effectiveness. Strategic Management includes a set of managerial decisions and actions that determines the long-run performance of a corporation. Including activities of internal and external environment scanning, strategy formulation, strategy implementation and evaluation and control The Relation Between Business Policy & Strategic Management Issues of Business Policy provide a frame for strategic decision making and strategy implementation, guiding managers and employees in their daily actions to act in the interest of the strategy defined by an organization and help organizing organizations in a way to support the strategy (e.g. choice of organizational structure, issues of corporate governance, organization of human resources, leadership etc.) In our course, we integrate both aspects – Business Policy and Strategic Management – to gain a better understanding of how both areas complement each...

...Declaration of Independence Preamble: As students of West Delaware High School we believe we should receive a 30 minute study hall every day. The ratio of the amount of homework we get, to the amount of time we receive to do our homework in school is lousy. Teachers expect us to achieve great things everyday, but how can we succeed in school when we have no time to meet with teachers and get our homework done during school. Teachers should look in the students perspective and see how much homework we receive and how little of time we have to complete it. As Students of West Delaware we have the right to stand up against the teachers of West Delaware. We have the right to challenge and change the amount of time we get to complete our homework...

...More Time to Study? One of the benefits of joining a sport at Pine Crest School is going to athletic study hall, but what about the students who participate in the same sport outside of school but are not offered athletic study hall? The downside of playing a sport outside of school is that students are staying up later and are becoming more stressed because they do not have the extra other student have to complete their work. For those students who are not offered athletic study hall, they should be allowed to go to athletic study hall. This change would affect students who participate in activities outside of school but are not offered athletic study hall. Athletic teacher may be against this change because they would not teach as many middle school students as they used to. A change should be made because it will allow...

...risen from 25 cents an hour to 7.25 dollars per hour in 2009. In President Obama’s recent State of the Union Address he states, “Working folks shouldn’t have to wait year after year for the minimum wage to go up while CEO pay has never been higher.” He hopes to raise the minimum wage by 2014 to 9 dollars per hour. Following the President’s support on minimum wage increase Sen. Tom Harkin (Democrat-Iowa) and Rep. George Miller (Democrat-California) formalized a proposal known as S.460, the Fair Minimum Wage Act of 2013 to increase the minimum wage by 2015 to $10.10. This proposal includes increasing the minimum wage (in three incremental increases of $.95) and then indexing it to inflation (“as prices rise, so would the minimum wage” (Cooper, Hall 2013)). Also, the tipped minimum wage (the minimum wage paid to workers who earn a portion of their wages in tips) would be increased in $0.85 increments from its current value of $2.13 per hour, where it has languished since 1991, until it reaches 70 percent of the regular minimum wage (Cooper, Hall 2013). However, in the current tough economic times many people argue that an increased minimum wage will only hurt and that the minimum wage should be abolished altogether. We will further look into controversies on the federal minimum wage in the United States and offer some insight into what our current economy needs. Since July 29, 2009 the federal minimum wage in the United States has remained at $7.25 per hour for non-tipped workers...

...Westminster College. I am an out-ofstate student from Idaho and I plan on having a career in Mechanical Engineer. I came to Westminster College to play for the soccer team and well as for the skiing in the area. I live in Hogle Hall and throughout my experiences living in the dorms I have observed many different things that I have written about. My observations are about the general dorm life, students study habits, setup of college, and roommate relationships at Westminster College. I will discuss these topics in the same order that I observed them, from the first month, to the second month, and then finally to the fourth month, the end of the semester. Dorm Life at Westminster College I have experienced once a month and three days of college. I have observed and analyzed the dorm life at Westminster College and will present my observations that pertain to the overall design of the dorms, the significances of the dorms to students social lives, and the difference in the design of upper classmen to lower classman dorms. The Hogle Hall dormitory is three stories and has a main common room in the middle of every floor. There are dorm rooms all down each side of the hall way and the community restrooms are conveniently located in the first doors down the hall from each of the common rooms, boy’s and girl’s restrooms are on opposite sides of the common room. The doorway, for the only stairwell in the building, is also located in the common rooms and rises to all three floors. The only...
