Section 1. The Problem

Asthma is a chronic airway condition affecting 6.3 million children or 8.6% of the population younger than 18 years (CDC, 2016). School-age children spend 6-7 hours of each day in school for 171-182 days per year (NCES, 2011). As such, the school is a suitable environment for asthma prevention and management.

There are a number of benefits to implementing a year-round school calendar, particularly through high school. For younger children, the importance of having a year-round calendar comes in their retention of knowledge. A three-month summer break is devastating for most children in terms of recall; teachers must spend most of the beginning of the next year reviewing the information that students were supposed to have learned previously. This wastes time, and puts students whose families did not review any academic concepts with them over the summer at a distinct disadvantage (Scholastic.com). The more this gap widens between children who have reviewed material and ...

Below is the history of American public schools in the early 19th century through the 21st century.

1900 -1915 At the start of the 19th century, American families rely on agriculture for their livelihood in which every member of the family, including the children had to work hard in order to survive. Most of them grew up without proper school or education. Children’s lives were focused around the family farm and helping their parents with the daily chores. Children would go to school only in the months where farms weren’t harvesting or planting which left them with less time for school (Kansas Historical Society, 2013). Too much work often prevented children from attending ...

Mondays aren’t usually known for their sunny weather and bright blue skies, but there they are. I also wasn’t known for wide smiles on my way to school, but there it was, too.

Somehow, what had looked like a suburban dungeon the day before didn’t look so bad this morning. With the top down and the breeze in my face, I didn’t even ...

Schools today have never been more challenged. It is true that school principals are called to effectively cope with numerous problems that threaten the school’s safety and put everybody in it in jeopardy, in more ways than one.

Abstract

Post the global economic recession of 2009, the government announced budget cuts across states. This placed great pressure on public schools to save costs in order to continue functioning. One of the cost saving measures employed by schools in several districts of the United States was to make cuts in the school. While this measure surely saves schools a lot of immediate costs, it needs to be evaluated what kind of an impact such a measure would have in the long run, especially with concerns being raised about the quality of education being provided in a shorter school year.
