The Relationship of Discipline & Academic Performance in High School
[ send me this essay ]
A 15 page paper examining whether higher standards result in better academic performance. Today's discipline concerns have progressed to that of physical safety, both for teachers and students. Discipline problems are blamed on TV, society and learning disabilities, among other reasons. But consistently, it is the school with the greatest expectations of students and the most clearly stated disciplinary actions for specific infractions that has the least need for resorting to their stated consequence, all while producing students of academic achievement that is well above national mean. Parochial schools have more freedom to rid themselves of 'troublemakers,' but surprisingly, the average suspension rate from parochial school is far less than the expulsion rate of public high schools. The difference appears to lie in higher expectations for students. Bibliography lists 20 sources.

Newman And Education
[ send me this essay ]
7 pages in length. To educate means to instill ideas and bring about thought where they had previously not existed. In order to interpret Newman's distinction between liberal and mechanical education, one needs only to understand the significant difference that exists between philosophical enlightenment and practical cognizance as assessed by Newman himself. Newman was keen on asserting the fact that education is not an ends to a means, but rather its own ends. In essence, what he was attempting to demonstrate is that education must be sought out for the pure enlightenment of learning; if education is achieved for no other reason than to better one's position within economic or social circles, then it serves no purpose. The writer discusses the concept behind several of Newman's stances on higher education. Bibliography lists 3 sources.
