The role of the judge is to present the fact, formalize the event, and to organize the jury. “You may perhaps wish to hear from me exactly what is meant by those words ‘reasonable doubt’” (Sayers 3). At this point in the case, the judge is teaching the jury how to decide whether or not a person is innocent, guilty or proven not guilty. In my opinion I believe that the judge is biased. Shortly after describing the death of Philip Boyes by arsenical poison, he accuses Harriet Vane of being the murder. He says that is a fact she killed him and that the problem to solve in this case is whether or not she murdered him with intent or on accident. The judge at this point is teaching the jury about the case and what they are supposed to agree on to make the final decision whether or not Harriet…

Like us, many of you had a loved one that lived during the Great Depression. Many of us have heard stories from our parents or grandparents of the horrific times of the depression; stories that told us how hard it was to find a job, put food on the table, and to provide shelter for the family. Learning how to live without things was a battle all by itself. Hearing the stories made me grateful to be born in a different era. However, each era has it 's own battles to fight that will change the direction of the economy and maybe the world.…

When first starting in early childhood the perfect classroom environment can easily be mistaken for a perfect quiet controlled one. The truth is one that is controlled only in small proportions by the adult and dictated by the children can prove to be a much more thriving and conducive environment. When working in a preschool room variety and observation is one of the top two ingredients for a successful room among many others. When preschool is mentioned the age group that is ideal for this is a multi-age from 2.5 to 5 years old. As Dr. Montessori expresses that this allows children to mentor and learn from different ages of development (Jaruszewicz, 2013). The other ideals for a thriving classroom come from different curriculums and theories. The theories I will explore will be intertwining the classic Montessori methods and Reggio Emilia method with the more modern methods and principles of creative curriculum.…

There are many types of goals. Growing up, I always dreamed of being two things: a mother and a nurse. I am blessed to have two wonderful children ages 14 and 16 and have had the privilege of being able to be a stay-at-home mom during their younger years. Now that they are older and a bit more independent, I have decided to go back to school and fulfill my goal of earning my degree in Nursing. Throughout the years of growing and maturing, I have learned how important it is to have good morals, values, goals, a passion for something, and a good education. I have not only taught my children the importance of these characteristics, but I have also shown them that regardless of one’s age or stage in life, that…

What is the achievement gap? According to the Glossary of Education Reform, achievement gap refers to, “any significant and persistent disparity in academic performance or educational attainment between different groups of student, such as white students and minorities, for example, or students from higher-income and lower-income households.” The focus on this paper is on the disparity in academic performance between students from higher-income households and students from lower-income households. It is no secret that this issue exists, where the controversy tends to arise is when we discuss how to solve it. In 2002, the United States government tried to solve the problem by enacting the No Child Left Behind Act. However, the No Child Left…
