Schools / Urban vs. Suburban : A 3 page argument in
which the writer posits that the reason many people are not
satisfied with urban schools is evidently resulting from the
reasons that people are not satisfied with urban areas in
general. As Americans have shifted so abruptly to the
suburbs, the nation's cities have been left to fall apart and so
has everything in them- including their schools. And when
education is poor, the remaining affluent pack up and leave
the city as well; creating a cycle of cause and effect. Now
that there is so little left in inner-cities, urban schools are not
able to offer the attractive services that suburban schools
are. Statistics and case examples are analyzed to support
points made. Bibliography lists 4 sources. Urbanvsu.wps

Should Kids With AIDS Be Allowed To Attend Public
Schools? : 6 pages in length. In 1985, people in parts of the
country were approaching hysteria at the thought of children
with AIDS attending the same public schools with their own
children. Today, we know better than to think that the
disease can spread through casual contact. Many school
systems have put into place AIDS awareness and prevention
programs to which the AIDS-infected student can be a
valuable asset, and the affected children themselves need the
security and acceptance of routine and friendship. The
paper concludes that kids with AIDS certainly should be
allowed in the public schools, that their presence can benefit
all. Bibliography lists 17 sources. AIDS-kid.RTF
Benefits Of Drug Testing All School Personnel : 8
pages
in length. The past several years have shown a sharp
increase in the use of drug testing programs within school

mandatory testing is that it has established a way of

employees who have a drug problem. The writer discusses
the benefits of identifying those in the academic field who
use and abuse drugs while on the job by supporting drug
testing for all academic personnel. Bibliography lists 7
