School Shooting: Oxford High School Shooting
Sadly, many terrible school shootings have occurred in recent memory, to the point that they do not even always make much of an impression on the public consciousness. But the November 30, 2021 shooting at Oxford High School in Oakland County, Michiganwhich ended in four fatalities and the injuries of seven othersis noteworthy because of the currently ongoing civil lawsuit being waged by the survivors against the dean of students, principal, three of the teachers, and two of the counselors for not taking sufficient action to protect the student body against the accused student shooter Ethan Crumbley (Ley & Carr, 2022).
The shooting began with Crumbley staging an attack in the bathroom and then followed with the alleged shooter attacking two girls in the hallway. The next victims included John Asciutto and Marco Vackaro, the former of whom was wounded, although both escaped (Ley & Carr, 2022). Vackaros brother hid for an hour in the school, terrified for his life (Ley & Carr, 2022). The civil lawsuit implicates the counselor Shawn Hopkins who testified he was concerned Crumbleys mental health and supervision was being neglected by his parents, but Hopkins failed to file the necessary paperwork with child protective services to ensure the student received the help he needed and was not a danger to others (Ley & Carr, 2022). The state charged the alleged shooters parents with involuntary manslaughter, and at their criminal trial the counselor was cross-examined by the defense as to why he did not search Ethan Crumbleys backpack after the student came...
…not sufficient to prevent a student from bringing a gun onto its premises. Additionally, students expressing depression or suicidal ideation who could become violent were not given adequate counseling. Although Crumbley would still have been dangerous, and there is no guarantee that psychological help could have cured him, as with the Columbine shootings, greater diligence may have flagged the students behavior and resulted in him being restrained as a danger to others and provided with help. Metal detectors and random searches of students deemed to be a potential risk would likewise have been helpful. Although the Oxford shooting exhibited many acts of negligence on the part of authorities, the students also appeared to be better aware of how to shield themselves than the Columbine victims, given their escape from the building, although…

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
