¶ … message of the reading. Explain why you chose those words and provide examples from text and elaborate
I chose the following as material for focus in this essay:
Academic achievement
Safety
Security measures
It seems to me that the essay revolves around the crux of these words. It also seems to me that each of these terms has broad meaning and can be understood in countless ways. Perhaps if they were understood in a slightly different way, the research may have had slightly different outcome.
Finally, each of these three terms has a distinct meaning for me as graduate student soon to be graduating with my master's degree in education (grades 7-12 social studies/special education).
The study was on the attempt to promote security measures in a certain school following the bout of inter-racial conflict in the country in general and inter-racial conflict in that school in particular. Although the heightened and intense security measures eliminated some of the problems and improved issues in many areas in the school, researchers found that the unbalanced focus on safety disrupted academic learning and negatively impacted some of the other offerings of the school. Researchers wondered whether security measures could not have been replaced by a more positive approach such as stronger connection between principal / teachers and students in school. This may have improved surveillance whilst also improving academic achievement.
The first term that affected me as "academic achievement'. Strictly, academic achievement may be understood as students receiving high marks in their subjects, but the term can also, literally speaking, have connotations that exceed that. That includes the existence...
The school culture goes a long way towards producing a specific outcome, and it seems to me that the way the specific school defines "academic achievement" may well eventuate in their objective of excellence for themselves and may help determine whether or not they achieve school security (as elaborated n in Framework 2).
The second term was 'safety." Safety, too, has a vast meaning. School safety includes prevention of bullying, compliance with fire drills, and elimination of unsafe teachers, hygienic food, safe classroom conditions, safe school environment, and so forth. None of these were mentioned in the article and, therefore, the repeated use of the term 'safety' was misapplied since it was used in a largely general sense. Schools may be threatened by bullying and inter-racial conflict. These are issues of 'safety' that hit it in the face. Nonetheless, schools have to realize too that there are so many other issues of safety equally significant that although less indiscernible and more invisible need to be equally remembered and dealt with. On a day-to-day basis.
'Security measures' is the third term chosen. To deal with inter-racial conflict on the school premises, the school resorted to introducing a number of punitive measures and programs that exclusively focused on security and interfered in the private lives of the students. The 'war' in the school on crime resembled the larger' war' outside the school gates on crime and it seems to me sad that perpetrators of security measures should have such a limited view…
A school culture that focuses not just on academic excellence in its narrow sense but on an academic excellence that integrates academic achievement with connection between students and teachers and a respectful happy school environment will also provide security. It will be a by-measure.

Message E-tailing is sometimes called electronic retailing devised to sell retail goods over the internet. Since 1995, etailing has been used in the internet discussion and is almost synonymous to e-business, e-mail and e-commerce, and transaction is mainly business-to-consumer (B2C). As early as 1997, major corporations have started using etailing as major methods of transacting business. The success of Amazon.com, Barnes and Noble's, and Dell Computer has been attributed to
message of the poem. This narrative poem follows one, dynamic event - the death of a boy using a saw to cut wood. The poem does not have rhyming lines; it is simply a block of text that narrates one single and very important event. It begins very quietly, and seems to be one of Frost's poems that celebrate nature and American life, but the end is far more
There is also the question of what approach should be used in a given setting. For instance, Lewis-Moreno points out that, "A great deal of energy is expended selecting and defending the model used: Should it be late- or early-exit bilingual, dual language, or English immersion?" (2007, p. 773). Although complex problems require complex solutions, a common theme that runs through the relevant literature concerns the need to use

Exegesis of Luke 14:14-21 Luke 14:14-21 is situated within the larger context of the Messiah's time teaching the Pharisees and attempting to get them to understand why He would "eat with sinners" (Luke 15:2) and spend time in their company. It is connected to His overall Divine Mission, and MacArthur notes that this mission can be found in Scripture, where one sees the whole of the Will of God.[footnoteRef:1] The main
