The document discusses the negative impacts of education budget cuts in the United States. It argues that cutting education funding is the worst long-term problem in the US as it destroys the future minds of children throughout the country. Large protests have occurred across the US, especially in California, where K-12 students have demonstrated anger over the cuts. The author has a personal connection because their school was deeply affected by funding cuts and is now one of the poorest schools in its conference.
Thrilled to announce I've been awarded Fist Place in Roger William University's 2017 Advanced Writing Contest for my policy report “Children & Lunch-Shaming: America’s Neglected Stain."
Lunch-Shaming in America is not often talked about or understood, but has become an increasing problem for the esteem and development of America's children. Children are being wrongfully stigmatized for their family's finances by being denied the same lunch as their peers, receiving a stamp saying "Need Lunch Money", or being forced to perform chores for their lunch.
School lunch companies and school administrations should not be able to stigmatize 2nd, 3rd, 4th graders for something their parents need to deal with.
If any of this makes you sad/angry/annoyed, please feel free to read my report, Children & Lunch Shaming: America's Neglected Stain, and let me know your thoughts!
The report card highlights five aspects of child well-being: economic security, early childhood, K–12 education, permanency and stability, and health and safety. They were chosen because they provide the strongest indicators of child well-being. Together, they illustrate the path the life of an American child from birth through adolescence, and their transition into adulthood.

Poverty has negatively affected the Education in America
There are almost 2,7 million
The most people who have effected by poverty are low income.
They extremely have a hard time to build their future. According to the New York Times, “Another 2.6 million people slipped into poverty in the United States last year. According to the Census Bureau reported , and the number of Americans living below the official poverty line, 46.2 million people, was the highest number in the 52 years the bureau has been publishing figures on it. And in new signs of distress among the middle class, median household incomes fell last year to levels last seen in 1996.Lower income families who have a large number of children will accord this problem .The households can't cover the home needing. They have not the all ability to cover the family needing. There are many issues that really impact these people. There is so much stuff for lower income to cover in united state. They must to buy car insurance, health insurance, school tuition and others households needing."
By the year 2020, the majority of students in America's public schools will be living in circumstances that will categorize them as at risk of educational failure. A person's education is closely linked to the individual's life chances, income, and well being"
(Battle and Lewis 2002). Moreover, in the last ten years, there was growing a huge gap between the top income class and the less income class
There are three issues which are the most effected the education in America. They are food supply, The lower income people can't provide enough food for themselves. The households are having a hard time to provide en enough food for their children. Drop-off in the reach of U.S. summer nutrition programs in 2010 and ongoing budget-cutting at state and local levels suggest that many schoolchildren in the United States will face another summer of hunger this year. According to a new report from the Food Research and Action Center, despite record numbers of children receiving free and reduced-price meals during the 2009-10 school years, participation in federal summer nutrition programs fell nationally in 2010. FRAC reports that in July 2010 only 15 children received nutrition aid for every 100 low-income students who received lunch during the 2009-10 school years. The food supply is really affected the kids to be success in their school. The way to solve this issue is must provide enough food that could be useful to a void . " One in eight Americans — 37 million — received emergency food help last year, up 46% from 2005, the nation's largest hunger-relief group reports today. Children are hit particularly hard, according to the report by Feeding America, a network of 203 food banks nationwide. One in five children, 14 million, received food from soup kitchens, food pantries and other agencies, up from 9 million in 2005, the year of the group's la.

Persuasive Essay Draft
I think there is a way to eliminate or should I say diminish bullying and violence that stem from articles of clothing or apparel. This is the reason I propose for all children, grades K-12, to wear uniforms. There are plenty of reasons that this proposal should be considered.
Some children do not have parents that are financially wealthy, as a result of that; some parents cannot afford the really expensive clothing that the other children are wearing. With that being said, I have found a solution to these problems. Uniforms would at least stop the appearance motive for bullying, gang activity, and could potentially save the parents some extra cash. Bullying is only one dilemma as to why school uniforms should be mandatory in schools today.
In 2013, the average cost for back to school clothing (street clothes) was $688.62, this year it is expected to be around $634.78. Although street clothes seem to be on the decline, the costs compared to uniforms are significantly higher in price. The average cost for school uniforms should be around $249.00 in 2014, a huge savings in comparison. Uniforms could change all of this and I have come up with a plan to get the ball rolling. If all students wore neutral or natural colored uniforms (tan or black khakis, white or black collared shirts, and only white socks), no logos can be visible on any article of clothing, and all undergarments should be white or black this would cut down on a lot of the bullying, teasing, and gang activity. I understand that this policy isn’t going to take all the problems away, but it would cut some of the violence and non-sense down tremendously.
Suicide from bullying is the 3rd leading cause of death among young people, resulting in about 4,400 deaths per year. Also, according to the National Center on Addiction and Substance Abuse, 45% of high school students have gangs or gang members on their campuses. I would not want my child being wrongfully mistaken for a gang member. According to the National Center on Addiction and Substance Abuse, 45% of high school students have gangs or gang members on their campuses. Students who join gangs may change their style of dress; adopt a nickname or abuse drugs and alcohol. “Gang-related apparel” is hazardous to the health and safety of the school environment. So adopting mandatory uniforms would eliminate gang-related apparel all together and there would be at least one less thing to worry about on that level.
Children have been seen getting picked on for not having the flashy and trendy name brand clothing; this has been proven that it could lead to suicide or suicide attempts. Suicide is the 3rd leading cause of death among young people, resulting in about 4,400 deaths per year. A st.

Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.
June 3, 2024 Anti-Semitism Letter Sent to MIT President Kornbluth and MIT Cor...Levi Shapiro
Letter from the Congress of the United States regarding Anti-Semitism sent June 3rd to MIT President Sally Kornbluth, MIT Corp Chair, Mark Gorenberg
Dear Dr. Kornbluth and Mr. Gorenberg,
The US House of Representatives is deeply concerned by ongoing and pervasive acts of antisemitic
harassment and intimidation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Failing to act decisively to ensure a safe learning environment for all students would be a grave dereliction of your responsibilities as President of MIT and Chair of the MIT Corporation.
This Congress will not stand idly by and allow an environment hostile to Jewish students to persist. The House believes that your institution is in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, and the inability or
unwillingness to rectify this violation through action requires accountability.
Postsecondary education is a unique opportunity for students to learn and have their ideas and beliefs challenged. However, universities receiving hundreds of millions of federal funds annually have denied
students that opportunity and have been hijacked to become venues for the promotion of terrorism, antisemitic harassment and intimidation, unlawful encampments, and in some cases, assaults and riots.
The House of Representatives will not countenance the use of federal funds to indoctrinate students into hateful, antisemitic, anti-American supporters of terrorism. Investigations into campus antisemitism by the Committee on Education and the Workforce and the Committee on Ways and Means have been expanded into a Congress-wide probe across all relevant jurisdictions to address this national crisis. The undersigned Committees will conduct oversight into the use of federal funds at MIT and its learning environment under authorities granted to each Committee.
• The Committee on Education and the Workforce has been investigating your institution since December 7, 2023. The Committee has broad jurisdiction over postsecondary education, including its compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, campus safety concerns over disruptions to the learning environment, and the awarding of federal student aid under the Higher Education Act.
• The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is investigating the sources of funding and other support flowing to groups espousing pro-Hamas propaganda and engaged in antisemitic harassment and intimidation of students. The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is the principal oversight committee of the US House of Representatives and has broad authority to investigate “any matter” at “any time” under House Rule X.
• The Committee on Ways and Means has been investigating several universities since November 15, 2023, when the Committee held a hearing entitled From Ivory Towers to Dark Corners: Investigating the Nexus Between Antisemitism, Tax-Exempt Universities, and Terror Financing. The Committee followed the hearing with letters to those institutions on January 10, 202

2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.

The Roman Empire A Historical Colossus.pdfkaushalkr1407
The Roman Empire, a vast and enduring power, stands as one of history's most remarkable civilizations, leaving an indelible imprint on the world. It emerged from the Roman Republic, transitioning into an imperial powerhouse under the leadership of Augustus Caesar in 27 BCE. This transformation marked the beginning of an era defined by unprecedented territorial expansion, architectural marvels, and profound cultural influence.
The empire's roots lie in the city of Rome, founded, according to legend, by Romulus in 753 BCE. Over centuries, Rome evolved from a small settlement to a formidable republic, characterized by a complex political system with elected officials and checks on power. However, internal strife, class conflicts, and military ambitions paved the way for the end of the Republic. Julius Caesar’s dictatorship and subsequent assassination in 44 BCE created a power vacuum, leading to a civil war. Octavian, later Augustus, emerged victorious, heralding the Roman Empire’s birth.
Under Augustus, the empire experienced the Pax Romana, a 200-year period of relative peace and stability. Augustus reformed the military, established efficient administrative systems, and initiated grand construction projects. The empire's borders expanded, encompassing territories from Britain to Egypt and from Spain to the Euphrates. Roman legions, renowned for their discipline and engineering prowess, secured and maintained these vast territories, building roads, fortifications, and cities that facilitated control and integration.
The Roman Empire’s society was hierarchical, with a rigid class system. At the top were the patricians, wealthy elites who held significant political power. Below them were the plebeians, free citizens with limited political influence, and the vast numbers of slaves who formed the backbone of the economy. The family unit was central, governed by the paterfamilias, the male head who held absolute authority.
Culturally, the Romans were eclectic, absorbing and adapting elements from the civilizations they encountered, particularly the Greeks. Roman art, literature, and philosophy reflected this synthesis, creating a rich cultural tapestry. Latin, the Roman language, became the lingua franca of the Western world, influencing numerous modern languages.
Roman architecture and engineering achievements were monumental. They perfected the arch, vault, and dome, constructing enduring structures like the Colosseum, Pantheon, and aqueducts. These engineering marvels not only showcased Roman ingenuity but also served practical purposes, from public entertainment to water supply.
