5. 5. Stuffed in a Locker BULLYING We aware that many schools today incorporate policies against bullying. We dont condone bullying in schools and support strict measures by the administration (to prevent and counsel) students that bully. The major emphasis for not allowing bullying in schools refers to an escalation of bullying that leads to murder (i.e. Columbine High School). Episode 4Episode 3 Youre Still Teaching!?

6. 6. Parents Are Really Concerned Citizens PARCC TEST State exams like PARCC are not an accurate measure of a students academic intelligence. A student's ability to learn and or maintain academic excellence most certainly can not be measured by PARCC. If a student is having a bad day and it is reflected within the exam results, this student will most likely be placed in remedial classes the following school term. However, the same student achieves honors all four marking periods; year after year. Still, he or she will be a prime candidate for remedial studies and removed from any advanced classes; until the next results of the PARCC exam. ? IT CAME FROM THE CAFETERIA CAFETERIA FOOD We can not say enough about this subject. Lunches served in schools are in many cases an atrocity; better suited to animals in the wild than human children.

Thus, the nutrition level is poor and requiring of some serious attention on the parts of the administration and PARENTS! Episode 6Episode 5

A pro discussion on uniforms help stop children from wearing reviling outfits in front of their peers is a topic on hand. A con that will be brought up is how uniforms stop children from expressing themselves, which can effect how they act and perform in school everyday. Are We There Yet? SCHOOL TRIPS / EVENTS In this weeks episode, we will be discussing the pros and cons of going on school trips as well as school hosted events. A pro for school trips is that they help the students understand and learn better information on there topic instead of just siting in a classroom. The experience of learning though having fun and seeing things the children never saw before helps the learning process. A con of such trips is that they are using money from the school that can be put into better use for the students, not to mention the risen costs burdening families. Episode 10Episode 9
