High School Lawsuits
Strangely -- or perhaps appropriately -- it is often those on the fringe of society that lead to some the major developments of a society. In the United States, this has been demonstrated perhaps most prominently by the civil rights and women's suffrage movements. Schools, however, have proven to be some of the most controversial places in the country, and issues of student's rights have often found their way to the Supreme Court. Two such cases with very different results for the rights of students and ultimately the populous at large are New Jersey v. T.L.O. And Tinker v. Des Moines Independent School District. In the first case, a girl caught smoking was then found to have drugs in her possession in a search that was eventually deemed legal, changing the standards of a legal search in educational institutions. In the second case, it was determined that students had the exact same rights in regards to free speech at school as they did anywhere else. Ultimately, it can be seen that the extent to which student rights match those of adult citizens in this nation is largely dependent on the time period and the area of law in question.
Tinker v. De Moines was most definitely an outgrowth of its time, reflecting the public's growing dissatisfaction with the Vietnam War and their increasing demand of the right t voice their dissension. Likewise, New Jersey v. T.L.O. reflects the growing worry over drugs and the general crackdown on what seemed to be a public feeling of entitlement that was occurring throughout the eighties. It is without a doubt that the specific time periods and social mores in which these two cases occurred had a huge impact on the way the cases were decided and the impact they had on student rights. Mostly, however, it was the specific legal circumstances of each case that, though perhaps applied unfairly, determined the Court's decisions. The armbands of the Tinker case could be worn in public without fear; the possession of drugs was illegal anywhere.
There is also a definitely a positive correlation between extracurricular activities and retention and academic performance. By creating appropriate, engaging, and entertaining extra curricular activities and by involving all the students, schools could not only expect to increase the learning outcomes of all the students, but most importantly, make the children to enjoy the learning process.

, 1993). On the other hand, though, and more importantly for the purposes of this analysis, some studies have shown that those students who completed a high school economics class still developed a more keen awareness of the conditions that contributed to economic outcomes and what role they may play in later life. According to Lopus and Maxwell (1994), "Students who took high school economics, irrespective of the curriculum, did not
High School Students and World Wide Web This is a research proposal about the problems of high school students The use of World Wide Web by high school students to complete school assignments is now becoming a common practice. This study aims to find the problems and difficulties that students have using the World Wide Web as their primary source of information. The students who use World Wide Web as their primary
I had a crush of my own during high-school, but I knew that she was beyond my league. Jessica was probably the most beautiful girl in the school and she was a senior (I was a sophomore at the time). I wrote her the most beautiful poem that I could possibly think of and I hoped that this would show her that I was actually different from the other guys.
In this case the educational institutions will need to provide access to student records to evaluate how well students performed when they attended test preparation vs. when they did not attend test preparation classes. Much as the researcher proposes, Henze & Lucas (1993) predict it is possible to "shape" classroom instruction and test preparation courses to promote greater success and mastery of language among high school students (p. 54).

High School Campus Violence What measurable outcome do you choose to explain? The measurable outcome this study will explain is the relationship between hyperactivity caused by sugar and caffeine in the diets of highschool students and campus violence. How would you measure the outcome? The outcome of this study would be measured by keeping track of all school records relating to violent incidents on campus reported to the school nurse, teachers, and administrators. Identify a
