SuccessEssay Preview: SuccessReport this essayThe Family Guy“Success means different things to different people. And, to a large extent, the widely accepted definition is determined by the society in which they live. In general, the American mans definition of success revolves around work and the financial rewards it yields” (Deutschendorf 21). I feel that this is a perfect example of how Americans view success and what our society implies are the qualities of life that measure success. This view of success is not only practiced in America, but worldwide. Money has become the center of daily living, and is essential for almost every aspect of life. Therefore, people perceive that the more money and material objects obtained during their life denotes their achievements. Too many people, however, there is more to success than these generally perceived principles of success, and I will propose my plan for success.
“People who are satisfied appreciate what they have in life and dont worry about how it compares to what others have. Valuing what you have over what you do not or cannot have, leads to greater happiness” (Niven 87). One of the aspects of life that people should appreciate is the joy of having a family to love you. Success then comes in not only making family the top priority in life and having the ability to provide and care for them, but giving children a good education and giving them the ability to become well rounded individuals to become successful on their own. A parents success can be measured in terms of the outcome of their children, and because of this, proper parenting strategies are needed to be in affect. The parent has the choice of the lifestyle that he chooses to raise their children in and the people they come in contact with for the beginning parts of their lives. Therefore, choosing the proper school district is imperative for the childrens education and knowledge which is the first step in leading their children down the path to success.
School districts come in a wide variety of packages such as public, private religious, and etc. Each of these school districts offers different opportunities in courses, programs, and extracurricular activities. Knowing these options that each school district offers can make it easier when it comes time to enroll your children into a certain school atmosphere. As the child grows older and advances through school, options may arise as to where the child will attend middle school and even high school. This choice becomes even more crucial as you want to find a school district that will meet your childs needs and abilities. Some school districts are more appealing for their academic nobility and variety of courses that stimulate the mind and prepare students for their continuation in higher education. Other school districts are known for their athletic teams and programs, and have a better chance of being noticed by college and professional scouts to move onto the next level of competition.
On the other hand, some school districts have their negatives such as: location, size, money, and genres of students. Various schools are located in high risk neighborhoods and students will have a high percentage of being exposed and immersed into gangs, drugs, alcohol, sex, and violence. The size of the school can also play a factor in the effectiveness of the school. Some bigger schools have higher student to teacher ratios and therefore limits the students one-on-one interaction with the teachers. All private schools and some public schools require their pupils to pay tuition and enrollment fees for the extracurricular activities that the children may be involved in. These prices can accumulate quickly and become overwhelming
The Impact of the Urban School
Housing, Schools, and School Violence In this column, students are concerned about the impact of school-to-school violence on their families. A recent issue of the Lighthouse and Associates Journal of Public Education explains that if you are a college graduate or the primary home of your family, you may be at risk of school-to-school violence. In addition to being at risk of the loss of health and safety in some other way, children often are subjected to multiple acts of violence and other kinds of physical harm such as violence against a spouse, parent, spouse’s or other family members. This violence makes it much more difficult to obtain legal counsel. The issue can also affect the educational outcomes that can be achieved by a college or university. Most of the current research in this area concludes that students who are violent on their first day of school tend to be less competent and more dependent on the “toughness” of social environments, social support systems, and other institutional procedures, which can be harmful for their learning outcomes. The Lighthouse and Associates Journal of Public Education writes that the number of campus incidents of violent incidents (such as in-school shootings) have increased in recent years: While violence is still a major problem on campuses across the country and has increased dramatically in recent years, violence is generally less frequent and more severe on schools across the U.S. and the world than it has been in the past. For many students whose parents and communities perceive them like a problem, violence can be a very traumatic experience. Even if a person is safe, a violent act at school can mean an immediate and long-lasting loss of family stability. When violence occurs at an American public school, children’s safety becomes less important. For example, if a student is found guilty of the crime, it is often because he or she had no criminal record in the past, may have been in school less than a year, and thus may have had no prior knowledge about the crime or the situation, or just could have been exposed to a criminal charge in that school. Another important factor that can contribute to safety concerns is access by family members. An important factor that can lead to high rates of violence in the school district is that a student who is violent on his or her first day of school is likely to see family members or schools as they would in an outpatient setting. Although many states have laws that mandate public school students to live in a housing facility or at a local high school so that they may have access to a safe, supportive environment and other school accommodations, it is not legally required that parents, community leaders, community members help their children living in housing facilities or at public schools. Parents can make their decision as to how school is placed within the school district based on the school district’s policies, curriculum, and expectations for both of these community and public schools and by their school’s policies (such as requiring that students receive a mandatory postsecondary
