Dissolved oxygen is oxygen that is trapped in a fluid, such as water. Since virtually every living organism requires oxygen to survive, it is a necessary component of water systems such as streams, lakes and rivers in order to support aquatic life. The dissolved oxygen is measure in units of ppm—or parts per million. Examine the data in Table 2 showing the amount of dissolved oxygen present and the number of fish observed in the body of water the sample was taken from; finally, answer the questions below.…
Location: due to the ‘Arab Spring’ in 2010/2011, world-wide publicity for the Middle East as a whole has been negative, discouraging the movement of labour from the global market. The UAE , from the outside world this has been reported as the Middle East, so has had a negative effect. Promoting the more liberal aspects, lifestyle, weather and social activities and favourably tax policy all make the UAE an attractive proposition.…

Due to the actions of Britain aiding Gaul in the fight between Gaul and Rome, Julius Caesar felt that he needed to avenge Britain. He eventually conquered Gaul, however, he felt that he should also conquer Britain for many reasons including land, agriculture, and metals. So, in 55 B.C. Caesar began his expedition to Britain. He gathered two legions for the first attempt and then realized that the Britons were not going to give up easily, therefore he went back for a second time with a stronger army of five legions. After his second attempt, he finally came to the conclusion that he did not want to have a long lasting war with Britain.…
Change is necessary for anyone or anything to progress and survive. Sometimes change is seamless or unknown and other times it is met with protests, but nonetheless it still occurs. This goes especially for teaching and learning in schools. Teaching styles must constantly change with the times because students and how to get through to them change quickly.…

One of the most widespread of the reform movements was the temperance movement, which called for reducing the use of ,or abstaining from, any alcoholic beverages. This particular movement came about specifically because the Second Great Awakening religious reformers called for individuals to lead “clean” lives and the movement gained movement across the country. Unfortunately the movement was somewhat unsuccessful. American reformers also sought to implement school reform. Before the early 1800s, education for most Americans was very basic. For most, this meant a few months of schooling a year in a one-room rural schoolhouse. The wealthy engaged private tutors and academies. For the urban poor, a very few were able to attend private charitable…
State schools are open to all children from 5 to 17 years of age and they are free as they are funded by the Government. On the other hand Independent Schools, also known as private schools, charge money. They don’t depend on the local government for financing but they are funded by donations.…
This creates unequal opportunities for families because if they live in a poor neighborhood, their taxes fund the schools, so they have poor schools, and they are not allowed to attend schools outside of their city limits. Therefore, a vicious cycle is created where…
“42 states reported that most (75%-100%) public schools started before 8:30 a.m” (“Schools Start Too Early”). Most schools start before 8:30. A decent amount of schools start around 7:20. Schools start early in the day and release later in the afternoon. This has become routine, but studies show that students who start early in the day perform worse in school compared to those who start later in the day. Schools should implement a later start time for higher schoolers since high schoolers would get around the recommended amount of sleep, preventing sleeping in school and high schoolers academics and safety will increase, since they will get enough sleep to study before school and prevent drowsiness.…
To boost the academic averages, students must be more alert and well rested. In a study conducted in a Virginian middle school which started school 1 hour later at 8:15 instead of 7:15, the students had a 2.2 percentile increase in math, and a 1.5 percentile increase in reading on average (Resmovits). The results speak for itself, the extra sleeping time increased grades, productive in class, energy, ultimately resulted in better standardized test scores. Although changing the school start time has many benefits, school administrators have responded that if school started later, bus routes would have to be shifted and employee’s contracts and work hours would be significantly changed which the school districts have predicted to be a $220 million cost which board members are not eager to sign.(Brush). But don’t you think this cost is negligible? It’s a small fee to pay in order to insure the health and safety of the students.…
In recent years, municipal governments across America have found themselves searching for ways to trim costs by consolidating services with other municipal governments in the counties they’re in. They have consolidated law enforcement agencies, sanitation, health departments, municipal courts, etc. But in many of those counties, school systems have been left out of the discussion. In 2010, the Memphis City School (MSC) system made a failed attempt to merge with the Shelby County School (SCS) system through a referendum vote. Later that year, the MCS school board voted to surrender their charter thus legally forcing a merger of the two systems. This paper will attempt to weigh the pros and cons of operating a school system of more than 100,000 students from funding, quality of education, to the effects charter schools will have on the system and community. Good start, add you major arguments here in summary form.…
Many schools have good intentions of creating individuals, while others would argue that schools, their policies and structures are creating conformists. Personally, I do not think that schools are molding students into conformists. Schools’ expectations for high school students have given us the opportunity to be creative in the classroom while also teaching us to be responsible and mature when making choices.…
Throughout life, people will face many hardships, trials, troubles, and anxieties. These are all things we must deal with, on a day to day basis, rarely with an easy way out. One can complain and gripe all they want, but its all part of life. By realizing these simple facts of life, helped me to be able to better go about handling these obstacles as they come my way.…
I’ve mostly gotten used to students stressing over “maxing out” because the school and classes I’m in are so competitive, it’s difficult to maintain the mindset that education isn’t just about grades, rather the learning, when I seem to be the only one with that perspective. As a student in the rigorous IB program, I often feel inferior academically to those around me because my grades haven’t always been consistently high like my classmates. Despite being a very social and vocal person, whenever the subject of careers, college, GPA, success/failure, etc. comes up, I tend to shy away from the discussion because I fear that I’ll come across as overconfident and as if I’m trying to distinguish myself as superior to others. To clarify, I firmly…
