Editorial Summary

J. C. of NH wrote a letter to the Editor of a local paper. JC is concerned with all the many

new proposed educational bills by the Republican Party in the State. His ultimate question is,

what is going to happen to the NH Advantage.

Mr. C. claims that the public is learning all about the future of NH's education program as

the house seeks to eliminate the arts, tech programs and foreign languages. He touched on the

impact the cuts would have on the North Country when selling products to Canada. The

Republicans have, said Mr. C., “ filed bills to eliminate kindergarten and allow 16-year-

olds to drop our of school once again.”

    Betsy Devos Research Paper

    On February 7th, 2017 Betsy DeVos was confirmed as the Secretary of Education. Betsy is a billionaire from Michigan who has little to no experience with education. The only experience she has with education is the schooling that she had taken part of when growing up. She never experienced education in the role of a professional educator. The Secretary of Education doesn’t mean much to most people but this cabinet position touches and deals with the education that is given to our youth and future. DeVos also has no experience with the disabled. She stated that she was unfamiliar with the law that protects the students with disabilities. Electing Betsy is a huge concern for myself and many others. As a future educator, I know and understand the…

    Betsy Devos Summary

    The article published by the New York Times, The Trump War on Public Schools, describes the potential dangers of the appointment of Betsy DeVos to the position of secretary of education. According to the author, DeVos is responsible for the expansion of charter schools within Michigan. Charter schools within the state cost approximately $1.1 billion dollars a year and have been accused of “wasteful spending and double dipping” by the Detroit Free Press. The committee responsible for questioning DeVos determined that she was woefully ignorant of the problems plaguing public schools. Several problems presented by the author include the fact that DeVos in extremely unqualified for the position as well as her strong support for for-profit schools.…

    Connecticut Supreme Court Case Summary

    The landmark Sheff v. O’Neill Connecticut Supreme Court decision will have a dramatic effect on the state of education in the great state of Connecticut. The de-facto segregation of Connecticut public schools over several years has been a troubling trend that has ultimately led to the decision reached by the court. The low performance of schools in the Hartford area has been a concern of many parents and educators. A child’s education is the most valuable tool a child can receive to prepare themselves for the world. The people of Connecticut must recognize the impact that failing schools can have on the entire state. The people in the Connecticut General Assembly and yourself must act to ensure each child has a chance at fulfilling their God given talents. However, I do not believe the Connecticut Supreme Court was correct in saying that it is the…

    A policy area in the middle of these cross-currents is elementary and secondary education – a subject traditionally under local control, with some oversight by the states.

    Anotated Bibliography No Child Left Behind

    This article reports the results found by a national survey taken by the state, about the national impact of the No Child Left Behind bill. Results indicate that in between 2001 and 2005 statewide assessment of science and writing increased but it decreased in the social studies, arts, humanities, and computers. The research teams found that there are few themes that come up at almost every school. The first, which is an obvious one, is that for subjects that are not tested for under the No Child Left Behind bill, the schools reduced their resources and the effort that the school puts into these areas dropped. Second, is an interesting method because they take material away from tested subjects and integrating them into the classes that are not tested for. Just so the teachers that are going to be tested have more time to focus on the testing material. The last theme is that there is no change observed, everything seems to be the same as…

    Future of Educational Finance

    Gary Marx stated “identifying, monitoring and considering the implications of trends is one of the most basic processes for creating the future” (Stevenson, 2010 p. 1). The world of education is forever changing at a pace that gets more rapid as the years go on. The decisions made in the past have laid the foundation of education today, as will recent changes affect the future. Programs such as choice schooling and No Child Left Behind will impact school funding. Rulings such as the Lemon Test and separation of church and state will impact decisions that can potentially result in litigation and court rulings dictating educational decisions. In his work regarding educational trends, Kenneth Stevenson (2010) stated,…

    The Future of Educational Financing

    The Future of Educational Financing Grand Canyon University EDA-535 September 30, 2014 What will the future of school funding look like in the next ten years This question troubles many communities and professionals in the field of Education. Over the past decade many new laws and ideas have changed the way schools are funded. More than ever before districts are finding themselves struggling to meet the financial needs of their communities and students. There are many issues one must consider to effectively predict the future of Educational Financing. Some of these issues are The analysis of the Lemon Test for determining alignment with the First Amendment The choice issue that has implications for diverting public funds to non-public schools The impact of No Child Left Behind The Future of church-state relations in regards to education Future trends in court decisions and power over educational financing based on present information The future of public education in America will depend deeply on the results of these issues. The future of educational finance is on the line. Will there be enough funds available to meet the needs of each public school system in our country Lemon Test The first amendment to the United States constitution has long prescribed a belief that any relationship between church and state was to be held unconstitutional, which implies that a similar relationship exists between government participation and private or religious based schools. The Supreme Court of the United States has ruled a number of times on the legal relationship of church and state as intended by the amendments to the Constitution (Brimley, Verstegen, Garfield, 2012). One of the most influential court rulings began its journey in 1968 with the passing of a Pennsylvania State law. This law allowed the acting State Superintendent of Public Instruction to allocate state funds for non-public educational services. Although this act was affirmed in Pennsylvania state court, the…

    No Child Left Behind Act

    Many school teachers and community members are starting to challenge many of the features of the No Child Left Behind Act. Many people feel that the law was developed too quickly and that it was pushed through Congress. For many years, both Democrats and Republicans have supported the limited role of the federal government in education. Now after the passing of the No Child Left Behind Act, many schools feel like they have lost the local control they once had. Democrats and Republicans should challenge the No Child Left Behind Act. Even though the No Child Left Behind Act has good intentions to help children, there are many hazardous strategies involved. The No Child Left Behind Act may do more harm than good. The strategies in the No Child Left Behind Act do not contain…
