    An article by Greg Mullenholz on the fact that education is a social justice issue within our society. He calls education "a dividing line between success and failure" and states that access to high quality teachers and education is a key component to helping students who are underprivileged to receive the future they deserve.
  •  
    This is an interesting perspective. I do believe education in America needs to be improved and the lack of action will cause America to become irrelevant in our modern era. I believe we need to reform our education system that is already in place and have families make it a higher priority rather than have the federal government mandate a solution.

    Education may be one of the biggest social justice issues because it is one of the main factors that determine a productive future instead of incarceration. The article states that "education was the dividing line between success and failure." There is a need for high-quality teachers along with equal opportunity for a good education among all different income levels.

    An article discussing the importance of education in society. The main idea is that under performing schools demand a certain skill set and access to funding in order to provide a path to success for their student base, and the unfortunate truth that this practice is not existent. School is the corner stone for the success of children and current standards and practices have created inequality across the nation
  •  
    Education being a social justice issue is nothing out of the norm. Education is not just about teaching common core programs but, it is also a place to teach kids and adults how to protect the dignity of humanity. Education is a huge dividing line between being successful and unsuccessful.

  •  
    The author makes a good comparison between American and Asian education systems and suggestions faults in each one.

Same-Sex Marriage Isn't About Freedom - 0 views

  •  
    His description of how this happened is almost backwards: freedom and individualism are not to blame. the conservative thinker Frank Meyer emphasized, by freeing the individual, Christianity created a tension between its high standards-to be perfect as the Father is perfect, to turn the other cheek-and the impossibility of achieving them.What we see today in the success of gay marriage is not really freedom run amok, but the result of turning the power to define morality over to the state, or to the dominant group representing it.

Accommodations for Students with Special Needs - 0 views

  •  
    special education rarely sets up special lesson plans for the students thinking they can learn anyways.Teachers then have to take the time to go through and make those accommodations. This seemingly little accommodations can take a lot of effort but they allow students to have higher success rates. The rest of the article shows examples of accommodations that can be made for special needs students.
  •  
    Lesson plans that are put into place for a student with special needs is followed to the goals that are put into place during a placement meeting or IEP(Individualized Education Plan). This allows for the student to reach the goals that are put into place and if they're not being met then another meeting is scheduled to find a solution or different goals.

Refugees | USCIS - 1 views

  •  
    A clear look into what it takes to be considered a refugee, and educating on what it takes to apply for refugee status. Opens a platform of discussion into refugee reform.

  •  
    Do you believe that it takes a specific criteria in order to be a refugee? And what are your views on this if a specific criteria isn't met?
  •  
    I know we should be helping each other out but accepting a lot of refugees all at a time will cause a lot of potential problems. Not that I do not think humanity plays a big role in this but social and educational issues are what we should be also considering. Can we promise to afford them their living standard? Can we provide each of them with a decent job while the people in the country itself are still unemployed?
  •  
    I think that is a great question. Studies show that children or youth refugees are woefully unsuccessful unless their parents are gainfully employed, educated, and many other incredulous factors. Allowing refugees into the country is a completely separate topic than building an entire social infrastructure funded by American taxpayer funds. In order for these refugees to be successful the government is spending millions of dollars per family, and tens of millions per family unit after five years of residence. I am of the opinion we need a complete overhaul of the existing system. I can simply not encourage immigrants to come to my homeland when my kinsmen are dying at astonishing rates at the hands of mental disorders, suicide, poverty, and a host of other contributors. We could be investing those funds into saving Americans, not providing for foreigners.

  •  
    In this report it talks about foster kids and what happens to them after they turn 18. While some states, a small handful, have programs for the kids others do not. It spoke about kids turning 18 then getting dropped off at homeless shelters. I hope in the near future there will be a change for these kids. They crime rate, young parent rate and homeless rates are just not acceptable. Please read and see how you can help in you community.

    There was a group home next door to my home for years. These kids had no support even when they were in the system. They were often locked out of the home when the state workers needed to go somewhere. My family and I ended up being family for many of these children. One afternoon, Charles who lived in the group home, rang our doorbell. I came out and he was yellow and falling over. I asked him where are the workers. He let me know they had locked them out again. I put him in my car and rushed him to the hospital. I knew it was bad when the emergency room nurses took him immediately. The staff at the group home had been giving him the wrong medication and he lost most of his liver. Charles calls me mom. His children call me Grandma. A lot of the kids that were living in the home, call me mom. I refer to them as one of my kids. The best way to take care of these children is to invite them into your heart, lives and family before and after they turn 18. Demonstrate the way to success by showing them love.

Why 16-week paid parental leave policies are revolutionary for U.S. workers - 0 views

  •  
    There is not a lot of confirmation as to what dads worldwide believe about taking leave, but income is a major factor. Fathers staying home with their child instead of being at work can become an issue when it comes to low salary families. Although, California created a paid parental leave insurance program that became a huge success. Having this opportunity made both, mothers and fathers, take advantage of the paid leave to be home raising and nurturing their new child. The biggest shock was that most of the people who took the paid leave were the parents who were on the lower income scale.

Why we ignore BIG problems in Education - 0 views

  •  
    Education in classrooms is learned. When children go home it is another story. Children are not to blame, because they grow up in a families that have financial struggles. It takes a village to raise a child.
  •  
    Children should not be blamed for problems relating to educational success, schools should instead look at possible mental illnesses as well as treatment that occurs at home.
