Over time, middle school students have been struggling to find motivation to independently read. Recognizing what improves an adolescents’ motivation to read is difficult because the student is reading for so many different purposes (Neugebauer, 2014). Further, it has been noted that students rarely read for pleasure (Edwards, 2009).

public what an organization is all about and what direction it is heading to and its purpose. Gow writes that without a mission statement most independent schools feel insufficient and partial. Schools therefore pick mission statements that reflect the school’s policies and programs pointing them to the desirable future and present the purpose of the school.

There are games in which private schools battle it out against public schools to prove that they have earned the right to go against the public school on the gridiron year in and year out.

Picture yourself surrounded in a city that’s filled with crimes and poverty, being judge constantly because of your residency. In the book Amazing Grace, Jonathan Kozol interviews the children of Mott Haven and other lower class cities in the state of New York.

This affirms the fact that the government greatly influences what is taught in schools. It is noted that "This limits the role played by curriculum developers hence weakening the education system" (Kim). Hence, the fact that each state is given freedom to design its curriculum creates disparity in the education system. This action was

Additionally, in regards to education in the United States, having a student placed into state schools as a default option is consistent with libertarian paternalism. The default position is consistent because of the ability to opt out of public schools with no penalty.

issues. It was really hard to be independent when I just wanted someone to be there. Although many times I was not the strongest and did some really dumb things like getting bad grades and getting into trouble. I finally got over it, most of the time it was on my own too. I realized that if i wanted my life to change then I had to do something about it, and not let others bring me down or tell me what i can and can’t do. Over the summer I became very independent and I am so much happier now than

Comparing Newspaper Reports of the Drowning of Two School Students in October 2000 I have been studying newspaper reports about two year 9 girls drowned on a school trip while taking part in a river walking activity. Only one body was found at the time when the articles were published. Newspapers aspire to interest and inform the readers of current topics. Tabloids tend to glorify or emotionalise their articles to gain more interest with their audience. Examples of tabloid newspapers are

The dependent variable is when one group is asked to listen to calming music while they walked and the other group was asked to say their anger thoughts out loud and imagine they’re stomping all over the person their angry at. The hypothesis was supported because it showed that each group coped with their anger differently. The implication in this study was that people who listen to
Comparing The Sun and The Times The two newspapers which I am going to write about and discuss are “The Sun”, which is a tabloid newspaper and “The Times”, which is a broadsheet. The newspapers are both dated Monday 10 November, 2003. The first difference is that the broadsheet is bigger than the tabloid. People read tabloids for entertainment and gossip.

The newspapers that I am going to analyze are The Guardian and The Sun. Both of the papers represent different approaches to news presentations; different ideologies, and therefore different potential reader groups. The Sun is a tabloid newspaper that reports news that is sensationalised and also takes a subjective angel. Whereas, The Guardian is a broadsheet which reports serious news that are quite detailed and balanced. Broadsheets are often called the ‘quality newspapers’ and therefore is aimed
