Middle School was supposed to be a place where you make friends, learn, and figure things out about yourself. I definitely did some learning, but let’s just say it was not the exact way I expected it to be.

It’s a different generation, a generation some say is completely lost but observing the way these students interact with each other is positively different then it
Introduction Middle school students face many behavioral concerns and School-Wide Positive Behavior Supports (SWPBS) has increasingly worked to prevent problematic behaviors. Taking a pro-active approach, many schools have adopted the check-in/check-out (CICO) strategy. Researchers Jessica Turtura, Cynthia Anderson and Justin Boyd evaluated the effects of a modified version of the CICO strategy: academics and behavior check-in/check-out (ABC).

Should Schools Start Later? Have you ever fallen asleep in class? Many students have. This is most likely caused by the early start times of schools. Middle schoolers and teens need as much sleep as possible, and if they have to wake up before 8 am, they don’t get enough rest. There are several benefits to starting schools at later times.

schooling improvement, students’ achievements. The main point of the book is how parents’ intervention depends on social classes and cultural capital. I am influenced how ‘Home advantage’ focuses attention on the inequities of society in the education system through socioeconomic status (SES). To illustrate her study she used the experience received from the study of two schools: Prescott and Colton.

“DO CHARTER SCHOOLS SERVE STUDENTS BETTER THAN PUBLIC SCHOOLS?” Knowledge is power and public schools are needed for the obvious reason “Education”, and creating productive individuals. However, not all public schools meet the basic standards. For instance, public schools in low-income areas do not receive as much funding as a public school in a wealthy neighborhood. If the students are not meeting the minimum standards the funds to those public schools are cut. Thus sending a message to the

Recent research have revealed that children of single hard working mothers have become successful no matter what their mother's social class was. In addition, children of the working class mothers who went to work while their children were still babies, did better in kindergarten than other children.

As educators, we are expected to have a certain amount of Professional Development hours each year, which is decided by the school system we work for. Since 1996, Ruby Payne has been a popular keynote speaker on the subject of understanding poverty and how to engage and teach students who live in poverty. Each year she speaks to tens of thousands of educators to teach them how to “understand the dynamics that cause and perpetuate poverty” (Ahaprocess). The problem, however, lies within Payne’s self-proclaimed
