Suppose that you are working on a project where you are attempting to answer the following research question: What impact will new class size laws have on high schools? Two of the sources you have found on the topic are Source A and Source B (below). In your response, evaluate these two sources. Be sure to examine their credibility and their relevance to your research question. Your response should make a clear argument, use transitions to move between ideas, use specific details from the sources, maintain a formal style, and include a concluding statement. (15 points)

Source A:
"New Education Laws Passed" by Jim Jonathan, City News, March 15, 2012, page 1.

Yesterday, lawmakers passed a series of changes to legislation affecting the state's schools. The new laws will alter the ways schools do business next year.
Included in the new laws were changes in the numbers of students assigned to classrooms. The previous law allowed only 20 students to be assigned to each teacher's classroom in kindergarten through fifth grade. Middle school and high school classes were capped at 24. New laws remove those limits. Now the state will provide funding for one classroom teacher per 50 students attending the school. Individual school districts may use local funding to provide additional teachers or to come up with creative measures to reduce class sizes.
"We need to be more responsible with our taxpayers' money and children," said Representative Mike Davis. "We are in an economic recession and just don't have money to throw around."
Some parents disagree, though. "I can't imagine my six-year-old trying to keep up with his reading when the teacher needs to make sure 40 or more kids are doing what they're supposed to." said Pat Patterson, father of two, "I don't know what these people are thinking."
The new laws go into effect next month.

Source B:
"Really?" a letter to the editor by Marcia Thomas, City News, March 17, 2012, page 4.

As a tenth-grade biology teacher for the last 20 years, I thought there was nothing left that could shock me. Boy, was I wrong!
How exactly do these lawmakers, who probably haven't set foot in a public school classroom since they were in school themselves, propose that teachers manage 50 students at a time?
Teachers are asked to do so much right now. We not only need to prepare our students to take end-of-course tests in our subject areas, we also need to get them ready to attend college or go into the workforce. On top of this, we are counselors, and sometimes we are even the ones who feed and clothe them. We do all this because we care about our youth. We think they matter.
At the same time, we can do only so much. If we meet the high standards we set for ourselves under this new legislation, good health will be a thing of the past for us. Not only will we suffer, but the students will suffer as well.

Answer 1

Answer:

This report gives an overview of the existing evidence base on class size and education in  

England. In particular, it considers how class sizes have changed over time; the impact of the  

increase in birth rate on pupil numbers and how this could affect the teacher requirement and  

class sizes; and the impact of class size on educational outcomes. The report also considers  

the impact of the 1998 School Standards and Framework Act1

. This put a duty on Local  

Authorities (LAs) and schools to limit the size of infant classes taught by one teacher to 30  

pupils. It became a legal requirement from September 2001. Local authority plans, produced  

in order to ensure the legal requirement was met, were subject to challenge, approval,  

intervention when required, funding and monitoring, and held to account against delivery.

can i ask if the orange is orange, it is named orange or it called orange ? ​

Answers

Answer:

Explanation:

Orange the fruit came first. The word came into English either from Old French 'pomme d'orenge', or from the Spanish 'naranja' (with the subsequent transfer of the 'n' over to the indefinite article, as per 'apron' and 'adder', originally 'napron' and 'nadder'). The Spanish word is itself a modification of the Arabic 'naaranj' (cf. also Persian 'naarang'). Our colour term thus derives from the name of the fruit, not the other way round; we also have apricot, peach, violet, lilac, maroon, indigo, burgundy, and so on, which show how productive this process of colour naming is

"Student life is not the proper time to do things. It is the time to ‘prepare’ for things to be done in future."

How does it sound??​

Answers

Answer:

While I do get what you're trying to say, try rewording your sentences. For example, instead of saying "Student life is not the proper time to do things," you can use this: Being a student means that you can not focus on your interests and study for school assignments at the same time. You are, eventually, going to have to focus on one thing, either your interests, or school. As school keeps students busy with loads of assignments, tests, and exams that students can't find a proper time to do the things they want to do. (see how I used your sentences here?)

In 250-300 words, discuss Jem’s character development in To Kill a Mockingbird. How does he grow and change? What are the major events that affect that change?

Answers

Answer:

    However, while Jeremy Atticus Finch, better known as Jem, was not the primary character in Harper Lee's novel To Kill a Mockingbird (also known as To Kill a Mockingbird), he is the character who is the most dynamic because of the huge changes that occur in his life during the tale. Jem and his younger sister Scout are extremely similar in appearance at the beginning of the novel. They are both hot-headed and frequently make impulsive actions that get them in danger; for example, trespassing on the Radleys' porch and nearly being killed by Nathan Radley as a result of it. In contrast, as the tale continues and the children become aware of Atticus's involvement in Tom's trial, tensions begin to emerge between Jem and Scout. Scout maintains her hot-headedness and has become enraged with anybody who has insulted Atticus during the trial, but Jem maintains his cool, as though he understands that being enraged would be counterproductive. He also begins to ponder more about what is going on in Maycomb and what the people who live there are actually like as a result of his observations. Combined with his increased capacity to think critically under pressure, Jem's ability to maintain his composure under pressure demonstrates Jem's maturing maturity.

    Despite this maturity, Jem shows signs of immaturity by losing his cool with Mrs. Dubose, who harasses and criticizes Atticus on a regular basis and ruins her flowers in the process. Following his being forced to pay back his vandalism by reading to Mrs. Dubose, who tragically passes away due to her advanced age, Atticus teaches Jem about what true courage is, and how he can learn a lesson from Mrs. Dubose, who gave up her Morphine addiction in order to die "free," despite the fact that it caused her a great deal of pain. When Jem realizes what she has learned, she grows more mature as the day of Tom's trial approaches.

    If and when the trial eventually takes place, Jem witnesses first-hand the bigotry and hatred that pervades Maycomb and is appalled by it; yet, he maintains optimism that Atticus will be able to convince the community of Tom's innocence. When the judgment is read and Tom is found guilty, all of those dreams are dashed to the ground. Jem feels disturbed at learning that the inhabitants of Maycomb are capable of such evil behavior, and his viewpoints shift. Jem grows more cynical as time goes on, and he begins to understand why Boo Radley chooses to remain inside since the world in which he lives is so harsh.

    When Jem and Scout are attacked by Bob Ewell at the very end of the novel, all of Jem's maturity is put to the ultimate test. Jem protects his sister with a knife against a mature guy, resulting in his arm being broken and him being knocked unconscious, despite the fact that he is still a child himself. That Jem transformed from an immature youngster who bullied his shy neighbor to a caring elder brother who sacrificed his life to defend his sister is demonstrated in this pivotal moment of the narrative.

Was Sandra Cisneros' choice of color a cultural declaration or a political provocation? Or Both?

Answers

Answer: A cultural declaration

Explanation:

The question most likely refers to the article "The Purple Passion of Sandra Cisneros," by Kathy Lowry, whose perspective of Cisneros´ actions is condemnatory and described as an uncalled-for political provocation disguised as a cultural declaration.

Looking into the case, and researching on Cisneros´own account of the events, found in "My Purple House. Color is a Language and a History," it becomes clear that she was trying to make a point about how the houses of the Latin community have been disregarded by the San Antonio Conservation Society, and her choice of a color deemed as “too vivid and modern” for its historical context is an example of how her culture is being erased.

So, in my opinion, Cisneros´choice of color was a cultural declaration and not merely a stubborn political provocation.

Select the correct text in the passage . Which detall best creates tension in the plot “the tell-tale heart”

Answers

The correct answer is: I moved it slowly - very, very, slowly.

Explanation

Suspense is a term to refer to the expectation about the resolution of a situation causing tension or impatient expectation of the viewer or reader. According to the above, it can be inferred that the sentence "I moved it slowly- very, very slowly" because it describes an action that is being performed slowly and is described in great detail causing tension in the reader as the reader wanders wether the protagonist of the story will be discovered as he tries to enter to the room. According to the above, the correct answer is: I moved it slowly - very, very, slowly.
