One relocated family from New Orleans signed two daughters up at Milwaukee's Hopkins Street Elementary School only to leave an hour into the first day after the second-grader broke down in class. At Messmer High School, an administrator tried to re-create the destroyed transcript of another evacuee, a senior who showed up last week at the school's doorstep with his mother.
State Rep. Brad Roae says it's incumbent upon House members to forego the cost-of-living adjustment they are due to receive on Dec. 1, because public school teachers and state workers have agreed to one-year pay freezes. House members "should lead by example," just as schoolteachers and state workers have, says Roae, a Crawford County Republican.
Teachers and students in Evansville Vanderburgh School Corp. high schools are becoming more comfortable with the district's netbooks in the program's second year, according to school district officials. The adjustment period is ongoing, however, and some EVSC teachers have been faster than others to use the technology on a regular basis.
Family is a key factor to one's development. Family closeness is thus fundamental to the development of happy and competent children and adults. Self-regulated learners usually exhibit greater academic performance. Students who adjust well to school settings build confidence toward learning and exhibit appropriate school behavior. This paper examines the correlations among family closeness, self-regulated learning, and school adjustment in college students. The self-reported questionnaires were distributed to 196 junior-level students. The results showed that family closeness was positively correlated to students' self-regulated learning skills. Those students rating their family as more close also exhibited a greater ability to adjust to their schools. These findings are discussed in t...
ENGLEWOOD -- The Dwight-Englewood School and its neighbors forged a compromise Monday night, ending a two-year battle over the private school's proposal to expand its athletic field. The Board of Adjustment approved the school's application to build a parking lot in what is now a residential zone so it can overhaul Graham Meadow Field and expand practice facilities, but only after attorneys for both sides set forth at least 25 conditions as a supplement to the original application.
School is starting up again and some parents as well as students are apprehensive. Although school means getting back into a regular routine, it can also be a stressful adjustment. The transition from a loose summer schedule to a structured school regimen can be difficult.
Staff Writer Retired public school teachers have been waiting eight years for a cost-of-living adjustment to their pensions.
Unlike previous investigations of shelter-based samples, our study examined whether profiles of adjustment problems occurred in a community-program-based sample of 175 school-aged children exposed to domestic violence. Cluster analysis revealed three stable profiles/clusters. The largest cluster (69%) consisted of children below clinical thresholds for any internalizing or externalizing problem. Children in the next largest cluster (18%) were characterized as having externalizing problems with or without internalizing problems. The smallest cluster (13%) consisted of children with internalizing problems only. Comparison across demographic and violence characteristics revealed that the profiles differed by child gender, mother's education, child's lifetime exposure to violence, and aspec...
It may take some getting used to, seeing himself five or six times life-size on a movie screen. But Gregory Lay of Paramus, who has a featured role in the new Matt Damon thriller "The Adjustment Bureau," will no doubt be able to cope. TELL ME MORE: A 1999 Paramus High School graduate and student of The Neighborhood Playhouse, Lay has had roles on TV ("As the World Turns," "Mercy") and off-Broadway ("To Barcelona!"). But he may well step up into a new class with "The Adjustment Bureau," a sci-fi thriller loosely based on a Philip K. Dick ("Blade Runner") short story, clearly positioning itself to be this year's "Inception." In this mind-twister, Lay is congressional aide to politician Matt Damon, whose life is turned upside down when he discovers the shadowy "adjustment bureau" that regu...
A social services group wants to transform an empty Homewood school into a building where people could attend educational programs and community events.
