I said to my friend that it was not so much what happened on 9/11. What concerned me more was the world we would wake up in on Sept 12, 2001. Certainly, our country and the world will never be the same. This gave a different focus to my military career in the hopes of making sure that a 9/11 event would never happen again. With modern war, the home front is as important as overseas. We must be vigilant and studies in such an area as homeland security studies are vital. While this may not be my entire focus, it occupies a healthy portion. In your fourth question, you ask what my experience is and/or aptitude for completing academic work at a distance. Frankly, I have many friends and family members that have received degrees online. Their main issue (especially with younger people) in dealing with the online academic environment has been discipline. The online environment because of its asynchronous nature demands organization and self-discipline. In my opinion, this will not be a problem in my case. A person simply can not function in the U.S. Navy (especially as an officer or NCO) without discipline. The institution exudes a culture of self and institutional discipline that is in a person's vocational "DNA" after their initial training. This only grows with time and once one reaches retirement in the military, they...
As an undergraduate student at Excelsior, I delivered a 3.75 grade point average. Certainly, the college can believe me when I state that I can definitively deliver similar results in the pursuit of a higher academic degree.
Transportation Students who are bussed to a larger school can use the time to be productive; reading, homework, etc. 1.5-2 hours per day of commuting is unacceptable for students and will eat into their family and work time. Opportunities A larger school will provide greater opportunity for social networks, sports, music, drama, and more extracurricular activities. Loss of community will make the younger students uncomfortable as well. Academics A larger school will provide greater academic opportunities for
The last century has seen an increase in the level of international purchases which has been supported by the developments in transportation and technology. Goods can move faster than before with developments in logistics. The negotiation and forming contracts for purchase with companies and communicate with potential suppliers in distant countries is also easier than in the past with the internet and tools such as video conferencing and emails.
Reluctance of Parents to Visit the School Role of Parents in Children's Education Education has always been a very important part of human existence and has been an inseparable part of human civilization. There has been a lot of development on the education portal and mankind has learned great deal from the education function (Jeynes, 2005). Every milestone which is achieved and every development which is made in any direction is due
School theft is an ongoing issue that impacts educational institutions worldwide. From stealing personal belongings to embezzling funds, the range of theft encompasses various forms of criminal behavior. In educational contexts, theft not only disrupts the learning environment but also undermines the sense of security that schools are expected to provide (Greenberg, 2021). One of the most visible forms of school theft involves the pilfering of personal belongings such as electronic
School Culture on School Safety Many studies have been done on safety in schools. Likewise, many studies have been done on the culture of various schools. Unfortunately, there has not been significant research on a link between the two. This is not to say that these kinds of studies have not been done, but rather that there has not been enough of them. Many of the studies that have been
Even though courses may include lectures, readings, outside research efforts, class discussions, as well as individual or small group presentations, these activities are not generally conducted in the classroom, utilizing Internet and presentation software enhancements. As an excessive number of graduate education departments are not equipped to offer school administrators classes which involve immediate Internet and database research activities, and/or technological presentations directly within the classroom, the researcher notes
