This 7 page paper considers the problems in the modern education system and the issue of school violence and argues that the implementation of a uniform system and correlated guidelines for behavior in the educational system would improve the educational environment and reduce problems like truancy and violence.

An 8 page paper discussing just how hard-line the no-nonsense approach to school discipline really is, particularly in light of increasing incidents of violence. The zero tolerance stance superficially appears to be a harsh one, but it provides students with a safe environment in which to learn and removes the necessity of testing ever-changing limits. Students in zero tolerance schools have no need to continually test the limits because they are unchanging. They are free to learn; teachers are free to teach. The paper uses the example of two New York schools sharing a building but little else. One is the worst-performing school in the district; the other is the best. The best-performing also practices zero tolerance and accountability. Bibliography lists 10 sources.
A 3 page research paper that examines a teachers' contract in the state of New York. The typical teachers' contract covers basic job related categories, such as compensation, benefits, hours, leave policy and retirement benefits; however, the typical contract in the US also contains clauses that are essential to school management. Such clauses include job assignment; class size and caseloads; safety conditions; evaluation and grievance procedures and school discipline policy (EDP, 2005). In the confrontational system of bargaining, which is patterned after the private sector, both sides present a list of demands prior to opening negotiations (EDP, 2005). In general, boards of education do not generally present a list of demands, but they do expect contract to include clauses that are significant to school management. Two of these are discussed.

A 3 page paper which addresses the book “Classroom Discipline: A Management Guide for Christian School Teachers,” written by Ollie Gibbs and Jerry L. Haddock. This book addresses some very interesting aspects of discipline that have little to do with Christianity, but instead illustrate many different, and effective, models for discipline in the classroom. While the methods do not always appear to apply only to Christian based schools, indicating that they can be implemented in public schools to some degree, it is obvious in many ways that the basic background for much of the techniques are founded on Biblical beliefs.

A 15 page paper examining whether higher standards result in better academic performance. Today's discipline concerns have progressed to that of physical safety, both for teachers and students. Discipline problems are blamed on TV, society and learning disabilities, among other reasons. But consistently, it is the school with the greatest expectations of students and the most clearly stated disciplinary actions for specific infractions that has the least need for resorting to their stated consequence, all while producing students of academic achievement that is well above national mean. Parochial schools have more freedom to rid themselves of 'troublemakers,' but surprisingly, the average suspension rate from parochial school is far less than the expulsion rate of public high schools. The difference appears to lie in higher expectations for students. Bibliography lists 20 sources.

A 15 page paper. The debates and controversy about mandating students wear school uniforms have gone on for more than a decade. Proponents argue that school uniforms decrease violence, reduce crime, reduce the incidence of discipline and behavior problems and increase learning. Opponents argue that uniforms are a violation of student's right to express themselves and have no effect on discipline. Few empirical studies have been conducted to investigate this issue, instead, most of the evidence in support of uniforms is anecdotal but it is very compelling. This paper reports both anecdotal reports and empirical results regarding the impact of school uniforms. Bibliography lists 15 sources.
This is a 7 page paper discussing the state of the discipline of political science. Since the time of Aristotle, political science has been a discipline that has been used to study man and the state. Originally political science was based on philosophical theory much of it which was based on man’s natural knowledge. Within the last two centuries, political science has continued to study philosophy based on the state and the study of constitutional government. Within the last fifty years however, the discipline has been severed into various areas, the most published of which is that which leans towards a more “scientific” approach involving quantitative research. Leo Strauss recognized the development of this trend and tried to warn against it in the 1950s trying to bring the discipline back toward a broader philosophical approach. Many political scientists today also believe that in order to preserve the discipline a broader more historical philosophical approach should be used in which other cross disciplines should be included rather than subdividing the discipline further in an attempt to gain academic recognition.
