...Should School Dress Codes Be Enforced? Troy Gibson Research and Writing- English 215 Fall Quarter Major Paper B Final Exam December 18, 2008 Instructor: Danny L. Daily Over the last decade or so the topic of school dress codes has been the center of attention here in America. The main question asked is, Should school dress codes be enforced? Especially in public schools in the U.S. There are some positive and negative factors surrounding the concerns of school dress codes being enforced. Some opponents against school dress codes include, students, parents and faculty members, which argue certain factors that enforcing the dress code is, a violation of students rights, of freedom of expression, second, it can put a financial burden on students families who live below the poverty line, third, some claim it is just a temporary relief to school violence, fourth it adds an additional tax on parents who already pay taxes on free public schooling, and fifth, some say that enforcing the dress code is to difficult in public schools. On the other hand, those who are proponents of the dress code add that by enforcing this policy, it will help eliminate violence, identify outsiders who do not belong there, improve a student attendance, eliminate students from being peer pressured in buying designer clothing and foster a students discipline as well as lessen the social and economic boundaries between students in school. With all of these...

...Case Studies: Disruptive Student Behavior Written by Billie Hara, Prof Hacker, The Chronicle of Higher Education The following case studies come from a series entitled “Disruptive Student Behavior” from the Profhacker blog at the Chronicle of Higher Education website (http://chronicle.com/), which detail possible classroom scenarios that faculty may potentially face. The original blog posts include caveats for each scenario, additional context, and many include responses from seasoned faculty. However, for this document we have stripped away everything except the actual case studies. Below is a comprehensive listing of case studies that focus on in-class situations, pulled from this series and presented in the following categories: The Bullies The Talkative The Entitled The Chatterers The Disrespecters The Barely Clothed The Twarters The inappropriately clothed The Smelly The Talkative (The Case of Know-it-All Nancy) February 2010, http://chronicle.com/blogPost/Disruptive-Student-Behavior/22948/ SCENARIO: You plan to facilitate a discussion in your class about readings that you assigned.

Or committing a heinous invasion of privacy? None of Our Business? by Roberta A. Fusaro E S W THEM the moment he came A out of the parking garage. Across the street, about two dozen protesters crowded close to the main entrance of the exposition center, heckling conference goers as they streamed inside. Fired up with anger and caffeine (almost all clutched steaming cups of coffee-it was still early on a Friday morning), they shouted through bullhorns and waved placards with messages like "Get Off My Frequency!" and "Mind Your Own Business!"When two women in charcoal-gray suits walked out the center's doors, a protester broke away and followed them down the sidewalk, trying to press pamphlets into their hands. A police officer ordered the crowd to stay behind the barricades, but his commands were inaudible beneath the sounds of traffic and civil insurrection. Dante Sorelia shook his head. "How the hell did we reach this point?" he thought as the walk light beckoned him forward. As CEO of a technology firm, Dante was an old hand at privacy debates. Such intense, public hostility, however, was a fairly recent development. His Manhattan-based company, Raydar Electronics, was among the top five makers and integrators of radio frequency identification (RFID) tags and readers in...

...Same Sex Marriage? Ban Same Sex Marriage The Ultimate web site providing information on the issues. We should be anti-gay marriage, and should ban gay same sex marriages and such practices. Pro-Family Groups in Connecticut Rally Voters to Overturn Court's Gay 'Marriage' Ruling" Pro-family activists in Connecticut are urging the people of the state to vote yes for a constitution convention when they head for the polls on Nov. 4. Though the 4-3 split decision by the Connecticut Supreme Court on Friday effectively redefined marriage in the state, Connecticuters will have the opportunity to have the final say if enough voters rally behind a call for the state legislature to convene a state constitution convention. Every twenty years, under the state constitution, the ballot question "Shall there be a Constitutional Convention to amend or revise the Constitution of the state?" is placed on the ballot for consideration. This year marks Connecticut's 220th since its admission to the Union in 1788. The Court's willingness to undemocratically impose same-sex marriage on Connecticut has made it necessary for us to demand the right to Let the People Decide, expressed Peter Wolfgang, executive director of the Family Institute of Connecticut (FIC), in a press release following Friday's high court decision. And that is why thousands of us will vote 'yes' for a constitutional convention on November 4th." If enough votes are found to favor a convention, it will be incumbent...

...Educational Psychology Christian School Case Study Student’s name Course name and number Instructor’s name Date of submission Educational Psychology Christian School Case Study A Concise Account of A Classroom Scenario Describing the Student Behaviours and What the Teacher Responded To and Encouraged the Behaviours In a classroom, students usually behave differently depending on different factors that have a contribution to their behaviours, be it good or bad. There are those who show much attention in class and are much focused on their studies. They usually show better performance in their class work as well as in the overall results of the exams done at the end of each semester. These students portraying good behaviours are always neatly dressed in clean and decent clothes. They arrive in class earlier than the scheduled time for the lessons and are ready to learn new ideas from the teachers. In case of late arrival n class the students has sensible reasons for lateness which he or she presents to the teacher in a humble way. The students are calm and tried as much as possible not to engage in indiscipline acts. In case of a fight or quarrel between them and other students, they opt for reconciliation instead of fighting back. They therefore tend to live a moral life with a very strong Christian foundation emulating the life of Christ (Lambert 1997). The other group of students portrays a different kind of behaviour from the one explained above. They are usually cunning...

...300 Case Studies of Social Media Marketing – An e-guide by Roderick Low of Expeditus Media What is Social Media?

...ISSN 0378-5254 Journal of Family Ecology and Consumer Sciences, Vol 31, 2003 The importance of apparel product attributes for female buyers Ernest J North, Retha B de Vos and T Kotzé OPSOMMING Die doel van hierdie artikel is om die bevindinge van ‘n empiriese ondersoek te rapporteer wat uitgevoer is om vroulike verbruikers se aankoopbesluite vir ‘n kledingstuk te ontleed wat gebaseer is op die waarde wat hulle aan sekere eienskappe van die produk heg. Alhoewel menige studies in die verlede verbruikers se houdings jeens produkte en hul eienskappe gemeet het, is die moontlikheid van die effek van interaksie tussen die attribute oorgesien. In die Suid-Afrikaanse konteks het die literatuurstudie getoon dat daar ‘n behoefte is aan ‘n studie om te bepaal wat die waarde is wat vroulike verbruikers aan sekere produkeienskappe heg voordat aankoopbesluite gefinaliseer word. ‘n Vraelysopname is as primêre data-insamelingsmetode gebruik waartydens die respondente versoek is om aan te toon wat hul voorkeure is vir dertig gepaarde kombinasies van die produk en sy eienskappe. Hierdie studie het op vier eienskappe, naamlik handelsmerk, styl, kleinhandelaar en prys gefokus. Hipoteses is geformuleer en voorkeurkeuse-ontleding (“conjoint analysis”) is vir die ontleding van data gebruik. Die bevindinge toon aan dat daar beduidende verskille is in die waardes wat vroulike verbruikers heg aan die eienskappe van ‘n kledingstuk voordat aankoopbesluite geneem word.
