Academic Achievement and Children from Single or Two-Parent
Homes
[ send me this paper ]
This 10 page report discusses the differences that exist
in academic achievement of children from a single parent home and
those from homes in which two parents are present. Convincing
arguments have been made for all sides of the question. In fact,
there are those researchers who believe that it is not possible
to accurately determine a child’s academic progress or capability
based on just the issue of whether they are from one- or
two-parent family homes. For example questions should be asked
about socio-economic status, whether the child has a meaningful
and positive relationship with the parent living outside the
home, and if the child’s parent has never been married, has been
widowed rather than divorced, and whether or not one of the
parents is a step-parent. Bibliography lists 10 sources.

Academic Dishonesty
[ send me this paper ]
9 pages in length. Academic dishonesty, like all other forms of deviance, has important sociological dimensions. It is interesting to ask, therefore, how adequately the major sociological explanations of deviant behavior explain the occurrence of academically dishonest conduct. When the student discusses this perspective, it will be important to address such theories as strain theory, opportunity theory, differential association theory and labeling theory, all of which provide some type of motivation for this behavior. Bibliography lists 11 sources.

Academic Performance
[ send me this paper ]
Schools in the United States have had a
recognized problem for a number of years: the public has lost confidence
in the education system and the school's ability to educate. This 5
page paper argues that the perspective on poor academic performance must
change to include the factors existing outside of the educational arena
and that the schools need to initiate interventions that will bring
together the forces in the student's life in a positive manner.
Bibliography lists 6 sources.

[ send me this paper ]
A 5 page paper which addresses whether parents or the schools should be accountable for the education of children.

Bibliography lists 5 sources.

ADD/ADHD & Compulsory Medication in Schools
[ send me this paper ]
A 14 page research paper that explores the use of psychoactive drug use in the US with schoolchildren. The first half of the paper offers a legal analysis and the second half an ethical analysis. The writer concludes from a review of available research that while these drugs are crucial for some children (1 to 2 percent of the childhood population), they are dramatically over-prescribed and used as a "quick fix" to enforce compliance with unrealistic behavioral expectations for young children. Bibliography lists 13 sources.

Admission Essay: MA in Education
[ send me this paper ]
A 4 page paper placing the phrase, “Why I want to be a teacher” in more academic terms. The paper concludes that teachers always have had the opportunity to have lasting influence in students’ lives, but it appears that today’s educational environment holds more promise for that outcome than existed in previous generations. A solution for lack of performance in the past was to “throw money” at whatever symptom gained attention first. Today’s budgetary constraints prevent that from being the first – and even the only – alternative considered, encouraging the use of creativity and visionary thinking instead. Bibliography lists 3 sources.
