A CHILD IS BORN




The ways of managing childbirth in traditional societies are many and varied, their usefulness stems directly from the fact that they are accepted culturally and collectively so that the another does not have the psychic burden of reinventing the procedures. If we turn birth from a climatic personal disaster,it matters little that the result is more likely to be a child.
Women will not long continue to offer up their bodies and minds to such brutality, especially if there is no one at home to welcome the child, to praise the mother for her courage and help her raise it. In fact peasant communities are more levelheaded and secptical of us and our methods than we realise and they have resited the intrusion of our chromium plated technology more successfully than we like ti think. They know that death attends too frequently in the traditional birthplace, but they also know that there are worse fates than death.

Up to the middle of the last century, the more popular method of legal instruction in America was the training of young law students in the office of a judge or practicing attorney. Even today a large number of lawyers in the United States receive their training somewhat in the same manner. In order to be admitted into the practice of law, one must pass a bar examination. This exam is conducted by a court or board acting under judicial direction. The knowledge needed to study for and pass the exam can be found wherever the candidate thinks they can find it.

The oldest law school in America was of Judge Reeve in Litchfield, Connecticut, established in 1784. For several decades’ law students received their training through lectures and instruction by Judge Reeve and his assistants, whom were practicing lawyers. This oldest American law school was a private institution. After some time there was a rise in competitors, and lawcourses were introduced in connection with existing colleges. Among the new schools was Harvard College, whose first professorship of law dates from 1816, but the school did not attain its position of great and rapidly increasing significance for the development of legal instruction till 1830 (Gillers 20).

There are hundreds, if not thousand of schools in this world. In Malaysia, we have seven types of schools. They are Malay schools, Tamil schools, Chinese schools, international schools, private schools, and religious schools.



There is only one type of Malay schools and they are the Malay government schools. Malay schools are the most common types of schools in Malaysia. You can find at least one Malay school in a town. Malay schools are divided into two. They are the Malay primary schools and the Malay secondary schools. Malaysians start their primary school education at the age of seven. They will then be in standard 1 and they will stay until they are in standard 6, which is until they are 12 years old. The following year they will go to form 1 in the secondary school and they will continue studying there until they finish form 5 so that they can go to either college or start work immediately or they can continue to form 6 so that they can go to university get better grades immediately thereafter. Every student has to sit for the UPSR examination when they are in standard 6, the PMR examination when they are in form 3, the SPM examination when they are in form 5, and the STPM examination when they are in form 6. All the lessons in the primary and secondary schools are, with the exception of the English lesson, are conducted in Malay.

For most people boarding schools conjure up thoughts of young men in navy
blue blazers with white shirts and a tie going to a beautiful school with ivy
covered walls and the game of polo being played in the distance.   Oh, and don't
forget thoughts of parents with fat wallets and a family trust fund.   This is
what Gordon Vink, the director of admissions at Mercersburg Academy in
Pennsylvania, calls the "Holden Caufield-Catcher in the Rye syndrome"(Parker
111), a book about the troubles a boy faces at his prep boarding school.
To an extent the image holds true.   Prep schools offer collegiate type
atmospheres, have strict rules, and often teach generations of students from the
same families.   The simplest definition of a boarding school is a place that
parents pay for a stodent to live and go to school.   The school's teachers,
coaches, and administrators live in dormitories with boarders and act as their
family enforcing the strict rules, making disciplinarydecisions, and overseeing
behavior and academic performance.

The first position of chapter three is supportive of private schools.
This position feels that private schools prevent the public schools from having
a total monopoly over education by offering the community an alternative choice.
This choice also produces competition with public schools for student enrollment.
This position views public schools as something a student must accept as the
only option if his or her parents can not afford a private school education.
This is an obvious short coming to private schools, since they do not operate on
the taxpayers' funds.   However, some private schools do provide scholarships to
poorer families.   However, one distinct advantage of private schools is their
abilities to satisfy their students' special needs.

A high school diploma is the basis for which much of society is based. Education is knowledge gain. Education gives us the knowledge of the world around us. It develops in us a perspective of looking at life. It helps us build opinions and have points of view on everything in life. People debate over the subject of whether education is the only thing in life. Education is important as it teaches us the right behavior, the good manners thus making us civilized. It teaches us how to lead our lives. Education is the basis of culture and civilization. It is instrumental in the development of our values and virtues. Education cultivates us into mature individuals, individuals capable of planning for our futures and taking the right decisions. Education arms us with an insight to look at our lives and learn from every experience. The future of a nation is safe in the hands of educated individuals. Education is important for the economic growth of a nation. It fosters principles of equality and socialism.Education forms a support system for talents to excel in life. It is the backbone of society.

Education is important because it equips us with all that is needed to make our dreams come true. Education opens doors of brilliant career opportunities. It fetches better prospects in career and growth. Every employer of today requires his prospective employees to be well educated. He requires expertise. So, education becomes an eligibility criterion for employment into any sector of the industry. We are rewarded for exercising the expertise required for the field we venture. We are weighed in the market on the basis of our educational skills and how well we can apply them. In these days and time young people need to see the exact value of their education. Education arms us with an insight to look at our lives and learn from every experience. The future of a nation is safe in the hands of educated individuals.

The purpose of this research paper was to record and analyze students’ experiences with dropping out of high school within a social perspective. Discussing the stories of high school dropouts provided valuable information related to the root causes of dropout behaviors in a social influence context. This information could be used to develop programs designed to increase social influence in schools, families, and communities, which can contribute to a decrease in dropout behaviors.
High school dropouts are at a new record high in society today, it has been recorded that every second there is a high school student dropping out equaling close to 1000 students a month throughout the USA. What grade should be observed the most to avoid high dropout rates? Who does the high school dropout crisis affect the most? These are just some of the questions we as parents, teachers, administrators, government officials, etc need to really askourselves. Because this social problem is only going to keep growing if we as a nation do not start taking the proper steps to improve our school systems and communities.
Graduation rates are one of the most troubling concerns, especially in the ninth grade. Meanwhile, the federal government has invested millions of dollars in researching at risk drop out students, which estimated in 2001 to over half a million students leaving before graduation. Unfortunately, this increase in the dropout rate has occurred at a time when there seems such a large emphasis on getting a college degree, much less a high school diploma and being able to compete in a global world (Neild, Balfanz, & Herzog, 2007). The ninth grade students accumulate the highest behavioral issues as well as poor grades, because it is the first time for many students having to earn passing grades in their core courses or even be responsible for their own actions.

Everyday we go to our beautiful school in spite of rain or shine.We’ll spend a whole day in school. In the morning, we come to school. Most of us get up earlier to avoid our names to be listed. But of course, there are few students who have no time concept and are always late. With the ring for break throughout the schoolyard, we all become as lively as monkeys! Some of us run or jump in the playground, some skip ropes, play badminton, kick shuttlecock, read some books and the others sit around and chat with each other cheerfully . Recently, we’ll have a sports meeting in our school. So some of the students are very excited about that and they practice a lot.
    Once the bell for class rings, we clean up our dresses, wipe off sweat, go back to the classroom and wait for the teacher。In class, we pay much attention to the teacher and take notes.   If we have problems and cannot find the correct answers, we will rise up our hands and ask the teacher.   When the teacher asksus some questions about the lesson, we will think about them carefully and try to answer the questions actively. Sometimes we don’t know the answers, we would listen to what the teacher explains carefully. Anyway we cannot waste a bit of time in class, otherwise we will not learn anything or pass the exam.
    At noon, some of us go home for lunch. And the others have lunch at school.   The school lunch is not delicious enough.   But the advantage is that we have many more choices and we can choose what we want by ourselves.   There’re many kinds of food, such as beef noodles, hot dogs, fish, chicken, vegetables and so on.   After lunch, my good friend and I often chat with each other and take a walk in the campus.   After that, we have a noon break.   At this time, we should keep quiet and study by ourselves or have a rest.   Boys often feel tired and have a rest because they play basketball before.   But we girls usually go over the lessons.

One very important part in human life is school. The best part, actually. During the time of school life you experience physical development, emotions, friendships, relationships, and, of course, knowledge. This time is precious because it only happens one time in life; you are never doing this again. It marks your whole life.
In elementary school, where you learn your basics, you are carefree and innocent. You don’t have to worry about materialistic and you have big dreams and free imagination. But life gets harder the older you get. You have to take on more responsibility. There are huge differences between secondary modern school, where you still have much free time, and a higher educational institution, where there is little free time. You have to do much more for school and you have work harder. But how much you work for a subject is related to how much you like the subject itself and how much you like your teacher and same way around.

One of our children (I would not dare to name names, of course) had to be one of the most distracted and disorganized students in his middle school years. Whenever we would ask him, "How was school today?", the answer was always the same."Fine." But when we checked grades online or went to parent-teacher conference, we had an entirely different view of his school days. Assignments were not turned in on time, and while he did well generally on tests, his homework dragged his grades down. We also found out from teachers that while his assignments left a lot to be desired, he was Mr. Social in his classes and often used his sense of humor to disarm the teacher and other students. So his days were much more than just "fine."
So over the years of working with our children and their school days, we learned that asking how school went today was probably the least effective way of finding out what was happening at school and how we could help if there were problems. We have found a number of other approaches to be much more effective at getting to the bottom of the school day experience. 
Greet first, ask later. We discovered that our kids got defensive when we asked them right after school about school. Later in life, we discovered that the entire topic made them feel a little intimidated because failure was more frequent than success in their minds during the school day. So we learned to just greet and chat about other things to get them a little more relaxed before we talked about school specifically.
Listen first, and see what happens. Often, after the greeting and the visiting, we did not even have to ask the question about school. We found that the conversations were always better when the kids brought up the subject. Usually, when the homework started following an after-school treat, they would say something like, "Can you get me on the Internet? I need some information about microbes." That led us into a discussion about their science class that day. Natural conversations about school are usually better than forced ones.

A school of thought is a collection or group of people who share common characteristics of opinion or outlook of a philosophy, discipline, belief, social movement, cultural movement, or aet movement. Schools are often characterized by their currency, and thus classified into "new" and "old" schools. This dichotomy is often a component of paradigm shift. However, it is rarely the case that there are only two schools in any given field.
Schools are often named after their founders such as the"Rinzai school" of Zen named afterLinji and the Asharite school of early Muslim philosophy named after Abu 1'Hasan al-Ashari. They are often also named after their places of origin, such as the Ionian School of philosophy that originated in Ionia and the Chicago school of architecture that originated in Chicago, Illinois and the Prague School of linguistics, named after a linguistic circle found in Prague, or Tartu-Mascow Semiotic school whose representatives lived in Tartu and Moscow.
