...comes to school, some kids believe that school should start later because it could improve their lack of focus. I believe that school should start at the same time in district 112 because it will help decrease the stress level of the students, they can still have after school activities, and the transportation will still be easy. Students work very hard in the afternoons. Spending many hours on homework. If we change the start time of school it will also change the end. Students won’t get out of school until 4p.m. If they have extracurricular activities such as volleyball, they will be up doing homework even later so they will still get the same amount of sleep as they would before.

Mending all of these problems with one solution seems impossible, but researchers say that starting school no earlier than 8:30 am will fix all of the issues. The National Sleep Foundation conducted a poll that revealed 87% of high school students receive less than the recommended amount of sleep. Sleep deprivation can impair mental functions that are necessary...

Coley Northcentral University August 30, 2015 Author's Note This assignment is being submitted on August 30, 2015 for Dr. John Klocinski's EDU 7001-8, Advanced Scholarly Writing course. Prekindergarten: The Foundation of Early Learning and its Importance Pre-kindergarten plays a critical role in early childhood education. It builds the foundation of the student's learning before they attend kindergarten. Research shows that children who attend a high-quality pre-kindergarten are successful in their years of schooling. Therefore, high-quality pre-kindergarten programs should be implemented just as regular elementary schooling. Public schools are becoming challenging with heightened accountability requirements because of the No Child Left Behind Act. Pre-kindergarten has become an important approach to promote school readiness and close achievement gaps in elementary school and beyond. It would produce large academic gains, especially for children of low-income families. Richard Coley's research pointed out that, "More than 30% of low-income children have no familiarity with print. That is, they do not know that books are read from left to right or where a story starts or ends. Seventeen percent of children from middle-income families and 8% of those whose parents have a bachelor's or higher degree also lack this knowledge. About 60%...

Early childhood education programs are the types of educational programs that are designed for children from birth to 8 years old to improve later school performance.

...Globalization GP Paper: Importance of Education Since I can remember my parents always stressed the importance of education and how it will benefit me in the long run. Now that I am at the age where I have to start providing for myself I see how education not only benefits my future but also the present. In the Untied States education is important especially when it comes to annual income and job placement. The importance of education was portrayed in the PBS documentary, In Milwaukee a families struggle for survival, by showing how those without a high school diploma or a college degree had trouble holding and finding a job that could provide for a family. The United States is not the only example of how those who do not graduate high school or seek further education after high school struggle to make a decent wage. The connection between education and income has become a reality in the world, which is a good thing, but for those who cant afford it puts them at a huge disadvantage. When I was younger I was fortunate to have two parents who would bring me to and from school everyday and a brother to help me with my homework when I needed it. I was also held accountable for the work I did by my parents and teachers, when I didn’t complete or do a good job on assignments I knew I had to answer to my dad, but this is not the reality for most children in America. A lot of kids do not have the luxury of having their parents bring them to school or even see them at night...

...world are experiencing an insufficiency in the time that they spend sleeping. The amount of time students spend sleeping is prevented by many things that they do in their daily schedule, can cause dangerous outcomes, but that amount of time can easily be increased. Many Things that teens do in their daily lives prevent them from getting sleep. To start off, the majority of teens use their phones during late hours. Their phones give off blue light, which sends signals to the brain that it is still daytime, and delays the sleep process. Added to that, they get a lot of homework to do, along with many extra-curricular activities. When this occurs, they don’t even begin trying to sleep until later in the night. Staying up later could be better if you could compensate your sleeping time by waking up later. “More than half (59%) with severe sleep deprivation, meaning that they sleep on average six hours or less most school nights,” (Garey 1).

...School start times have always seemed early, but in the recent years, these start times have been creeping earlier and earlier in the morning. Unfortunately, this causes many teens to have to fight their bodies’ natural clock in order to achieve their desired grades and have bright futures. School start times need to be later in the day. With earlier start times, scientists are seeing more and more health problems in teens, many of which are related to sleep-deprivation. Teens need more sleep than people in other stages of life because of the crucial development that is occurring in their brains. That is why sleep deprivation is so detrimental to teenagers. For the sake of our future generation’s health, school needs to start later. In order...

...Changes in Families Since the 1960’s Abstract Everything changes as time goes by. One major thing that has changed in particular is family structure. From the way children are being raised, to higher divorce rates, and teen pregnancy. These are all factors that have immensely changed over time, more for the worse than better. Introduction There have been many changes in families since the 1960’s to today. In this paper I will discuss some of the numerous drastic changes that have occurred, and the impact this has. I will also be discussing how families are weaker but also ways we could prevent this from continuing happening. Changes in Families since the 1960’s One major change that there has been in families is that more women have careers now. In the 60’s it was not a common thing for a women to have a job, let alone a career. The role that women played was to stay home with the children, cook, and clean. The women that had careers usually were the ones that did not have families, and this was extremely uncommon. Educated women was a very rare thing to come across. Men were the ones that made the money and supported the family. That has drastically changed since then. In 2010, more American women were employed than men (Castelloe). Women working and having careers is much more accepted in society nowadays. Women may work now for different reasons; the passion they feel for the job, or they need to help financially support their family. Another change that...

...referred to as high school. Coming into high school was very nerve wracking. I only had an idea of what it was like from my older siblings and what is portrayed in movies as well as tv shows. In other words I was blindsided by the whole concept of high school. When you enter high school as a freshman you are automatically labeled as annoying and immature. At the time I was very upset with a label that I didn't feel that suited me. Looking back I see why freshman get that label and how you begin to change over time. I have faced many obstacles in the duration of my high school experience, and will continue facing them everyday but the obstacles have shaped me into the more mature...

...the influence of a little white envelope. The paper inside was so much more than ink on a page reading, “Congratulations!”. This was a start to amazing opportunities, new relationships, and a fresh start. It has been noted that since the fourth grade the only high school I dreamed of attending was Blackstone Valley Tech (BVT). One Monday afternoon in mid-spring was the day I received that little white envelope and that dream became a reality. On my first day at Valley Tech I knew I had immediately found a new home. The reason being, I found myself in a place where being yourself and exploring your full potential is highly encouraged. It was crazy to think that I was in the same position as three hundred people, from thirteen towns with diverse interests, each of us starting a new chapter of our lives. This idea had a big influence on me starting at a new school. Sometime within that first week, in a car ride home with my mom, I said to her, “This is an opportunity to reinvent myself”. I took this saying with me for the rest of the year and still to this day....

Now, I have a proposal, a proposal for three new programmes to be implemented into the secondary school curriculum. Right now, at this very instance, we have a variety of studies which provide students broad exposure and holistic development, but we, believe that it is incomplete without the following additional programs that will further improve students of all kind. Before I officially start on why you should impose such programs to the current curriculum, allow me to do a short summary of what I will be talking about in the following minutes.

...With reference to Attachment Theory discuss the importance of early childhood to emotional development. With reference to Attachment Theory this topic will discuss the importance of early childhood to emotional development. This work will be more focused in the development of the emotion of fear, anxiety and security or insecurity. For that reason, Bowlby’s theory is going to be considered due to the fact what he is the first attachment theorist, describing attachment as a ‘lasting psychological connectedness between human beings’ (Bowlby, 1964,p. 194). Bowlby believed that the earliest bonds formed by children with their caregivers have a great impact than will go on later on. Moreover, Bowlby will deal in “Basic Postulates in Theories of Anxiety and Fear” where we can find also Freud’s point of view and other theorists where they try to explain the concepts of “anxiety” and “fear”. Later, we find Schaffer and Emerson whom did a studio with sixty babies to see the measure of anxiety they could experiment. No less important is when a child start to go to school. There is going to be a separation of the child from their family so as a result fears and anxiety can also be found in early ages. The main point of attachment theory is that mothers who take care and are responsible with their infants’ needs creates at the same time a base of security for the child. All these points will be discussed through the topic. Psychologist John Bowlby was the first attachment theorist...
