...Home Schooling vs. Public Schooling Jill Norris COM155 October 27, 2012 Dr. Melton Home Schooling vs. Public Schooling The grand cartoonist Al Capps once said, “Any place that anyone can learn something useful from someone with experience is an educational institution.”(Capps) This statement evokes thought of exactly what defines a “school.” Can any place be called a school? Certainly the home can be called a school as there are around 1.5 million children in the United States are homeschooled. Home schooled children are able to practice their religion, can have a different curriculum, and different disciplinary actions, but both can lead to a well educated student. Public schools, even with all of their bad press, are still the most popular way to educate a child (Homeschool Or Public School? 2012) According to www.hslada.org, which provides legal analysis of home school laws, someone that is interested in homeschooling their children should follow the law of the state in which they reside. Laws governing home school education vary by state and according to the 10th Amendment of the Constitution the power to regulate all forms of education belong to the states. Homeschooling is included in this protection. The Constitution states that the federal government is not allowed to interfere with or control public or private forms of education. The progression requirements for home schooled children do differ state by state and the federal government has no laws or...

... Madame President Herrera, Now that you have learned how the Justices can influence the decision-making process and have learned how the nomination process essentially works, we now want to turn to an area that she will want to be weary of when choosing two particular nominees. We call this area that you want to watch out for “red flags.” There are many different red flags that can indicate a potential nominee is going to not be the right choice. First, as the president she will want to check out the all the nominee’s ethical backgrounds and expertise. President Herrera will want to make sure they are as qualified as they can be before suggesting them as a nominee. Lawrence Baum, a credible source yet again outlines this, “to minimize the possibility of such embarrassments, administrations today give close scrutiny to the competence and ethics of potential nominees” (Baum, p. 36). She will want to look for issues that may come out later to the public, and avoid them at all costs. Such issues can be classified as sexual harassment or violations of laws that a potential nominee engaged. If this is the case then she should not considered them nomination. Also, the President does not want to find out ten years from now that one of the Justices she nominated was in violation of the law. Instead, look for the most qualified candidates upfront because they will be of the most value to her. Second, another red flag is a nominee who is too dominated by his or her political party...

...resources available. The least expensive bus route for a local elementary school is probably designed in a limited time frame and with limited resources, but it is also sufficient that such a model only be “good enough,” as only minor inconvenience will be caused if slightly inaccurate assumptions are built into the model. Such a model would not need to be exceptionally detailed or complex. Alternatively, the most profitable series of flights offered by a major airline would need a more detailed and complex model. A great deal of profit stands to be lost if flights fly with few passengers or if popular destinations are not adequately served. Such a model would likely need to take into account the differences in traveler density throughout the week and year and the popularity of different locations over the time frame covered by the model. These factors would easily be ignored in the bus route scenario. 3. What part of the modeling process do you believe is the most important (obviously they are all important, but pick one). Justify your answer. I believe the making assumptions portion of the modeling process is the most important. Which assumptions are made will determine how accurate and sensitive the resulting model will be. If assumptions can be made that are accurate and easily found for a wide range of scenarios, a very accurate model can conceivably be formed and modified to cover a wide range of possible parameters. 4. Build on the brainstorming from the previous section...

...1. What are some non-tax considerations that should be taken into account in determining whether to operate a business as a partnership or corporation? There are couple things other than tax that need to be considered before staring a business. In a partnership, the owners are personally liable for the partnership’s debt, which means if the assets within partnership could not satisfied, owners are responsible for the remaining balance. However, owners of a corporation are generally not liable for the corporation’s liability. The ownership is easier to be transferred or sold to the other party in a corporation than in a partnership. Moreover, corporations will continue in business upon the death of shareholders. In a corporation, the company is liable for the unemployed insurance; however, the partnership is not responsible for this. In addition, generally, it will cost less to start a partnership than a corporation. Therefore, owners should take considerations of these points and the objective of the business in order to determine whether to operate a partnership or a corporation. 2. Barbara owns 40% of Partnership A and 40% of C Corp B. Each entity has $100,000 of net taxable income. Neither entity makes any distributions. What are the tax consequences to Barbara from each of her investments? Will either entity have to pay tax for the year? If so, how much assuming a 35% tax rate? Since partnership A has $100,000 net taxable income, and Barbara owns 40% of the partnership...

...1. Evaluate the following statement. Is it a valid statement? If so, why is it valid; if not, why is it not valid? Cut out the middleman (retailers, distributors, etc.) and you will reduce the prices consumers pay for products. The distribution of products rarely flows from producer directly to the consumer. Rather, supply chains are developed to distribute products to consumers. Decisions related to distribution and supply chain are highly important. Some believe that cutting out the middleman in the supply chain, which are retailers, distributors, etc., will reduce the prices consumers pay for products. However, their belief is invalid. Supply chains are developed out of necessity. Many firms do not possess the capabilities to meet the needs of their supply chain. For example, a firm may not have the adequate resources to distribute or store their products. Therefore, instead of investing in a system to deliver their products, the firm may decide to use a distributor with adequate resources. If the firm were to develop their own distribution system, the consumer will likely see an increase in the price paid for the firm's products to offset the cost of the firm's investment. Therefore, cutting out the middleman is not guaranteed to reduce the prices consumers pay for products. In addition, even if a firm is able to successfully cut out a middleman in their supply chain does not guarantee a price reduction for consumers. The firm may decide to increase their profit margin...

...1. What other factors might be considered when valuing the deferred tax asset account? Following are some factors that might be considered in evaluating the deferred tax asset amount that will be recognized. • Evidence of sufficient future taxable income, exclusive of reversing temporary differences and carryforwards, to realize the benefit of the deferred tax asset. • Evidence of sufficient future taxable income arising from the reversals of existing taxable temporary differences (deferred tax liabilities) to realize the benefit of the tax asset. • Evidence of sufficient taxable income in prior year(s) available for realization of an operating loss carryback under existing statutory limitations. • Evidence of the existence of practical, reasonable tax planning strategies under management control which, if implemented, would permit the realization of the tax asset. (Accounting Financial Tax). 2. As the accountant, is it your place to question management’s ability to turn a company around? Deferred tax asset denotes to future tax benefits and those benefits will be realized only if there is an enough taxable income from which deductible amount can be deducted. The valuation allowance is used to reduce the expected realizable value of the asset when there will not be adequate future taxable income for the realization of the deferred tax asset. The valuation allowance could become a problem when future profitability is in uncertainty. (Stice, 2014, p.16-2d). In this case, company...

...provided the authority to teachers to expel that student from the class who is absent in four classes. And the head of department has been given the authority to to keep check on teachers contribution towards the institute and same as Dean’s authority is to have a keen check on HOD’s . In this way not everyone but most of the individuals are leader in their own field of work. 8. Drive out fear As according to Deming’s fear is a loss. This point of Deming’s philosophy is not adapted by Kinnaird. They pressurized their students and teachers for specific tasks by providing deadlines which results in hectic routines. As QEC bound teachers to some certain dates for submission which produces a fear in student and he/she is stressed out and is burdened. 9. Break down barriers between staff areas According to this point, Kinnaird have barriers in staff areas. Every teacher works on their own, there is no specified format. Every teacher molds the restriction provided by the institution in their own manner which results in the difficulties for students. 10. Eliminate slogans, exhortation and targets for the workforce As this philosophy, Kinnaird has set targets for their workforce and pin them again and again to complete that task in given time, for example the dates for the submission of test and assignments of students. There the exertion of work leads to hectic routines which results the quality they provide. 11. Eliminate numerical control for the workforce According to Deming’s work study...

Question 2 Watch the following videos and list all the possible positive issues with using an electronic health system.

Question 1 Explain in your own words what scope of practice is. How can you determine if an activity or task is within your scope of practice?

...Does it ask all the necessary questions to determine what the client’s presenting problem is? The counseling intake forms typically ask questions regarding the client's sleep behavior, how often the client feels sad, the reasons the client is seeking counseling and any stresses the client is facing, as Study.com explains. Counselors can refer to the counseling intake form during the initial appointment with the client to direct the session to the client's needs, rather than asking a general question about why the client has come for counseling. The counselor can then ask questions to gain clarification on the client's needs. The mental health assessment gives the counselors a complete picture of a client emotional state. It also looks at how well the client can think, reason, and cognitive functioning. Given these points, I think the mental health intake form is asking not all but the necessary questions to determine what the client’s problem is. For instance, asking clients if they have been physically harming self, risk Taking behaviors, and memory problems or trouble concentrating etc. Are there too many or too few questions? Why or why not? The form appears to have too many questions, but almost all the questions require only a check mark which takes less time to fill out. Are the questions reading level appropriate for the clients? I supposed it depend on the client level of education, otherwise, I believe the questions level reading is appropriate for the clients...
