[Due Date] Homeschooling parents are at times seen as isolated, self-centered, and reclusive. They keep their children away from the markedly valuable commonplace school, the environment where children acquire the essential knowledge and experiences that equip them with the required skills to successfully deal with civic and societal demands. Levin and Belfield (2003) report findings that “private schools produce more community service, civic skills, civic confidence, political knowledge, and political tolerance than public schools” (Ladd & Goertz, 2014, 222). However, it is incorrect to portray homeschooling as dispossession or removal of schools of their valuable purposes. It is widely known ...

Quality health services can be measured by the extent to which these services escalate the probability of medical outcomes that are desirable and consistent with present-day expert knowledge. A health facility that incorporates all these aspects of quality healthcare thus becomes one ...

Introduction, Background, and Purpose

Power is more relational than absolute. Power relates to the degree of control that one exercises over outcomes, resources, actions, and process. The power can either be formal or informal. The formal power is the leeway that one is given through the rules of the organization in which he works to influence the course of certain elements in that organization. This is legitimate power afforded to a worker to enable them to deliver their mandate. Illegitimate power is different from the legitimate authority because unlike in the former case, the illegitimate power lacks authority. Nonetheless, it can be significantly ...

While Lightner Witmer has been largely credited with the conceptualization and creation of a separate field of study for school psychology (D’Amato et al., 2011), it has it’s true roots, in many ways, in the creation of the IQ test. The IQ test was pioneered by Alfred Binet who was specifically interested in the standards of the normal mind. Today, the Binet-Simon scale, first generated in 1905, is still used in schools to determine a child’s overall ability to perform certain tasks (Binet & Simon, 1905). Perhaps more significantly, however, it was significant that Binet recognized that ...

The capital budget, unlike the operating budget, is a plan for major purchases, and it covers the acquisition of land, buildings, and long-term equipment among others (Roussel et al., 2015; Dunham-Taylor & Pinczuk, 2009). Comprehension of the capital budgeting process is essential for nurse managers. Such an understanding assists nurse administrators to make decisions that are not only sound in a business sense but those that will allow the most efficient utilization of resources for the delivery of care (Dunham-Taylor, 2009). As the cost of medical services increase, healthcare resources are becoming scarce (Zismer et al., 2011). This necessitates a ...

One of the major challenges facing healthcare administration is the problem of diversified care. The modern world and all the technological improvements that are found in medicine mean that levels of care are better than ever, but this is not without challenges for administrators. An increasing number of specializations in medicine, for example, mean that administrators must prepare for an increasing number of units and specialists, which in turn leads to problems with funding and human resources. There are also issues associated with the fact that patients are generally more aware of technological advances in medicine, and may be ...

Introduction

Activism by university students has always been discouraged by administrators with many of these activists finding themselves on the wrong side of the law. The 1960’s were characterized by racial discrimination and the oppression of the rights of students from free expression. These protests were considered acts of massive civil disobedience and most students who were found participating in such activities ended up in jail. It is during this period that Mario Savio joined the University of California, Berkeley and used speech to mobilize his fellow students to participate in peaceful sit-ins to demand free speech rights. Activists ...

Police Misconduct1. What role does the police/corrections subculture play in fueling law enforcement misconduct?

Police subculture is a popular notion in law enforcement literature. According to Ortmeier and Meese (2009), police subculture is an important determinant of police behavior and attitude.

The police subculture perceives the community in terms of violence and hostility; thus, the general reaction is to ensure secretiveness, supportiveness and unity in the police force. The conventional characterization of police subculture is based on attitudes, values and behaviors developed within a typical police department (Ortmeier & Meese, 2009). Whereas the police department has ...
