Will Governor Brown’s Local Control Funding Formula improve the ability of districts to meet student needs compared to the former system?

Brief Background and Aims of the Research

The current education system in California lacks transparency and is extremely complicated. All the participants, be it policymakers or parents, struggle to comprehend the current system, which offers different pupil per rate across various districts. There were many allegations that affluent schools ended up getting more per pupil rate than the other schools. To negate this inequity in the distribution of federal funds, Governor Brown in the year 2013-14 introduced the Local Control Continue reading...

Isaac Newton’s story of how an apple falling from a tree that hit his head inspired him to formulate a theory of gravitation is one that all school children grow up hearing about. Newton is arguably one of the most influential scientific minds having ever lived. He has published books such as Arithmetica Universalis, The Chronology of Ancient Kingdoms, Methods of Fluxions, Opticks, the Queries, and most famously, Philosophiæ Naturalis Principia Mathematica. He formulated the three laws of gravitation, discovered the generalized binomial theorem, developed infinitesimal calculus (sharing credit with Gottfried Wilhelm Von Leibniz, who developed the theory Continue reading...

- Apportionment, Allocation, and Absorption of Overhead

Total overhead=€650000, Thus overhead as percentage of Direct material cost=650000/3430000*100=18.95%.
Thus overhead to be absorbed to Econo bikes at 18.95% of €2150000=€407425, and to Luxi 18.95% of €1280000=€242575
**Under the blanket overhead absorption rate as was the practice, the €650000 overhead absorbed between Econo and Luxi was 2000/3000*650000=€433333 and 1/3*€650000=€216667
1. After all the service department costs are apportioned to the production departments, the next step is to spread the factory overhead to the different products or job produced. This is termed as overhead absorption Continue reading...

Literature review

Heat transfer and friction characteristics in a square duct roughened by various shaped ribs on one wall [Aliaga, b, 1994]. Liquid crystal thermograph is used to measure local and average heat transfer coefficient of ribbed surface. The ribs height to duct hydraulic diameter ratio is fixed to 0.1. The rib pitch to height ratio varies from 8 to 15 and Reynolds number spans from 8000 to 20,000[Aliaga, b, 1994]. The experiment consists of heat transfer test and pressure test. The test experiment consists of 750mm long smooth duct followed by a rib-roughened section of equal length. Plexiglas Continue reading...

The health data also contains coronary anatomy and intervention from the laboratory module (Lichtenstein 2004). In addition, health data is obtained directly from the patients, therefore, gives a true reflection the state of Continue reading...

Control valves are an important gadget in engineering and the building of structures. Virtually, there are thousands of loops that determine how machines operate. Fundamentally, a valve controls the thermodynamic flow of fluid through regulation of fluid volume and speed. In essence, material flow at every point in the loop is the control using a control valve. In the engineering, there are fluid loops that contain energy transmission fluids, as well as loops containing different materials related to the nature of the end product manufactured. As a matter of fact, besides the structural characteristics that a control valve possesses, Continue reading...

My previous school had been much closer to home, so even this bus trip was new. But now I was heading for an entirely new school environment where I had no existing friends, and where all the teachers were as yet strangers to me. I found myself feeling increasing anxiety as the school buildings drew nearer, because I was not wearing the school uniform.

Directly observing behavior encompasses four methods. This includes outcome recording, event recording, interval recording, and time sample recording. The outcome recording method applies in uniform behaviors where one expects unique results. Observers can use this easy-to-use method at their own convenience. This is because one checks on the results rather than the observable behavior. Outcome recording can also apply in recording complex behavior. The drawback of this method is that it cannot observe emotions or feelings expressed by people. Consequently, one has to be sure the outcome is unique for the method to apply.
Events recording entail observing behavior Continue reading...

Introduction

During the American Revolution, many women took active part in both the American and British armies. Apart from direct participation, many women also contributed to the revolution indirectly. In the 18th century America, women’s role in the society was limited to the boundary of home as child bearer and home maker. Politics, military activities and even social activities were almost 100% an all-male affair (Brooks 2013). Therefore, it was not easy for women in that era to directly participate in the American Revolution. Still, thousands of women participated.
The American Revolution started when England put in place the Continue reading...

A body is said to be moving in a uniform circular motion if it is moving in a circle with a constant speed. The main objective of this experiment was to find the net force that acts on an object of mass m which moves in a circle of radius r at constant speed v and to confirm that the magnitude of that force is given by mv2/r.An experiment was done using centripetal force apparatus by hanging masses on it and computing the force required to stretch the string, the masses were then subjected to a rotational frequency and Continue reading...

Uniforms represent the idea that one is a part of an organization. When one wears a uniform to school, it suggests unity. The fact is that uniforms allow for the sense of belonging to a group. Some critics suggest that school uniforms will automatically improve the learning process as students will spend more time focusing on their lessons instead of becoming distracted by thinking of what to wear and when to wear it. In addition, students often become distracted by others and what they wear to school. In fact, a student who falls in the lower socio-economic strata of Continue reading...

Spread over about 3.79 million square miles, and divided into 50 different states, the USA is presumed to be a country with uniform culture and customs amongst all 315 million people. The reality however is very much to the contrary. It was the diversity amongst its people that led to the civil war, which lasted more than 4 years and claimed about 625,000 lives. The war was fought between the free and slave states, which ultimately led to the ban of slavery in the States. The conclusion of the civil war in the year 1865 gave the people Continue reading...

Abstract

Concrete acts as one of the most essential and cost-effective construction material made from a mixture of sand, cement, aggregates, and water. Cement acts as a binder for holding all the components together. Engineers working in the construction site must understand the purpose of the construction because different structures require different concrete strengths. The strength of cement paste used controls the overall strength of concrete that depends on the water-cement ratio. The following experiment was conducted to investigate different mechanical and physical properties of concrete.

Objective: To determine mechanical properties of concrete.

Materials used: Aggregate (coarse and fine), sand, cement, water, compressive machine, cylindrical and rectangular Continue reading...
