Changes in Education Funding
[ send me this paper ]
A 3 page paper reviewing changes in public education spending in the US between 1919 and 2001. Per-student spending in adjusted dollars (to 2001) has increased nearly 16 times over the 1919-20 amount and by a third in the modern era of technology; it would seem that we could expect more impressive results in outcome than we currently enjoy. Many other factors enter into spending today, however, including educating a greater percentage of America's school-age children than in the past and providing bilingual and special education to children who were excluded from public education in decades past. Bibliography lists 3 sources.

Character Education in the Public Schools
[ send me this paper ]
A 13 page paper discussing the “dangerous” ground of including moral education in the public schools. Among those schools that have been most successful in achieving impressive academic gains has emerged a paradox: academic excellence does not emerge in an atmosphere void of personal responsibility and dedication to the work at hand. Nor does it thrive in the environment in which there is no cooperative effort or attention to helping peers. It seems that we had to abandon values in order to realize their relative worth. As public schools are called to accountability for results as never before, there is also much more attention to character education. Bibliography lists 14 sources.

Class Size And Student Achievement
[ send me this paper ]
This 32 page paper investigations the relationship between class size and student achievement. The introduction provides an overview of the information available. Part 1 provides an historical overview of the research on class size dating back to 1909. Those early studies did not find any positive correlation but they were riddled with problems that were overcome with better research designs and the introduction of standardized tests. Part 2 offers a literature review of more recent studies that have focused on the relationship between class size and student achievement. Despite clean, empirical studies over the last two decades, the controversy regarding large versus small class size and student achievement still exists. The writer explains why. The discussion and conclusion section ties the research together to make a generalized conclusion that the students who benefit the most from small class sizes in the primary grades are minority inner city students. Data are included. Bibliography lists 22 sources.
