On March 7th, 1980, two high school freshman were found smoking in the bathroom at Piscataway High School in Middlesex County, NJ. The students were escorted to the vice principal Mr. Choplick’s office. The defendant, TLO, who was one of the students that were caught smoking denied the accusation. Mr. Choplick inspected TLO’s purse and found a box of cigarettes. Afterward removing the box of cigarettes, he saw a pack of rolling papers. Mr. Choplick suspected that a closer examination of the purse may yield evidence of drug use and that a thorough inspection would be needed. After a thorough search, he found a small amount of marijuana, a pipe, a number of empty plastic bags, a large amount one dollar bills, an index card with a list of who…

Two years after being created in 1864 the school opened its doors with McFadden Alexander Newell being its president. Newell had goals to establish model schools for teachers to practice their skills and see first-hand how what they have learned worked on elementary students. Unfortunately, these practice schools were often across town because of space limitations.…

To any prospective parent, a school needs to present all the facts about itself, so as the parent may make the choice that is best for their child. Thirty years ago, when I was in school. There was no concern about scores, diversity, etc. You just went to your local elementary, middle and high school. Today parents are much more informed and curious about where their child is going to go. To some parents, it is quite important to have their children attend a culturally diverse school. “There is a richness that comes from students working side by side with others who are not of the same cookie-cutter mold,” notes Jean Snell. (Great Schools Staff, 2009, P.123) This is why it is so important for a school to annually update their school profile. Davidson Middle School is doing this on an annual basis, offering prospective parents all the facts to make an informed decision. The school profile can also be used by staff to see the changes that occur from year to year and take this information to improve in the areas that it is needed in(Educational Testing Service, 2008).…
For my entire life of schooling, both my parents and I would agree that I constantly complained about the educational systems in which I was enrolled. But when I actually take the time to think about everything I have been through, I realize that I have indeed had an excellent education. My schooling was full of opportunities and experiences, all of which contributed to the person I am today; adequate education has been an indispensable facet of my being. Sadly, not everyone has had this same privilege. And now as a college student, I am becoming even more aware of this sad fact. Looking around me in such a diverse city as Chicago, I find myself being more and more grateful. When I read Jonathan Kozol's Fremont High School, this these feelings were even more reassured.…

Ahmed-Ullah, facing a budget deficit of one billion dollars, the CPS has made the decision of closing just under fifty elementary schools and one high school. With these closings the CPS estimates they will save between $500,000 and $800,000 from each school per year (Guarino, 2013, 1). Despite the savings in money and decrease in deficit, parents are infuriated. They fear the worst for their kids and believe they will be susceptible to gang violence by going to a new, further away school. Nikkia Pierce, a mother of two relocated children, said, “I’ll home-school both of my children before they go to Jensen (designated relocated school), it’s sad that they really don’t care about these kids” (Ahmed-Ullah. 3). Students of closing schools aren’t taking well to the new plans of the CPS either and are completely disregarding what they say. Another article After closings, kids shun schools picked by CPS by Noreen S. Ahmed-Ullah of the Chicago Tribune states, “Almost half the youngsters most affected by Mayor Rahm Emanuel’s school shutdowns did not enroll this fall in the new schools where officials planned for them to go, records from Chicago Public Schools show.” The new schools the children are designated to go to are referred to as “welcoming schools.” Hundreds of millions of dollars were put into renovations and upgrades for these welcoming schools in order to take…
