Uniforms won't stop school bullies, experts say ST. CATHARINES - School uniforms do nothing to prevent bullying. So says Tony Volk, an associate professor Brock University researcher who has done extensive research on bullying. He said a controversial Niagara Catholic District School Board proposal to introduce uniforms in its elementary schools will not have an impact on bullying, as the board has suggested. “Overall, there is no evidence in bullying literature that supports a reduction in violence due to school uniforms,” he said. “Bullies are smart. The board will start rolling out the proposed policy at a series of meetings for parents between March 20 and May 2. The board said it’s looking at the policy for a variety of reasons, including its impact on reducing bullying, enhancing school safety by spotlighting outsiders who visit the school and by encouraging a focus on academics and school spirit. Volk said research also shows school uniforms do little to increase academic performance in schools. sjeffords@stcatharinesstandard.ca

Recommendations: Counselor Tips – Facilitating the Application Process | Education Professionals – The College Board Letters of recommendation provide you with the opportunity to convey a student's character and any personal qualities that test scores and grades alone don't reveal. The value of counselor recommendations Counselor recommendations play a pivotal role in the application process. According to the National Association for College Admission Counseling’s 2011 State of College Admission report, nearly two-thirds of colleges and universities attribute considerable or moderate importance to counselor and teacher recommendations in determining which academically qualified students they would choose for admission. So, when all else is equal between two applicants, a recommendation from you can pull a lot of weight. And for students with mediocre or low scores on college admission tests, your honest assessment of their potential success in college can tip the scales in their favor.

Pandemic Chapter 1: Entries 1-3, a book of mormon fanfic Day 1 Do I have to explain things to a notebook? I don't think so. I'm writing this to convince myself that this is real, this is actually happening, but that it'll be okay. We knew something was up after the third day of rain. Arnold had picked up a paper from the bazaar and had Naba read it to us. Infected people are worn down, tired, miserable. We're leaving in the morning. Nothing tonight. Day 2 We hit the road today. Arnold crawled into the back space with Naba, and Mafala insisted on joining them. Poptarts and Church, who can read maps, decided to take the first driving shifts. Connor fell asleep after half an hour of fighting against it. I caught Poptart's gaze in the mirror. Poptarts told me to be gentle with him. The roads are long and muddy. We decided on van sleeping arrangements as well. The rain pounding the window is making me anxious, and my arm is falling asleep. He only woke up slightly startled, thank Heavenly Father. Day 4 Letting Arnold drive yesterday was a mistake.

School Uniforms Are Destroying Individuality | hubpages School uniforms have expanded to public schools of late. Having taken the idea from religious institutes, many public schools around the world require students to wear uniforms. The debate over whether or not uniforms are essential is ongoing. Some people say that school uniforms are an essential part of a functional learning environment. Other people say that they inhibit the creativity of the students. While uniforms can sometimes be beneficial, the world should dispose of their existence. In a survey taken by the National Center for Education Statistics, it was discovered that eighteen percent of public schools required uniforms for the 2007-2008 school year. Ideally, uniforms were put in place to save parents money. Ultimately, being forced to wear uniforms quells the creativity and individualism of a student. Parents think that the requirement of uniforms in schools will reduce bullying about economic social standing because we would all have to wear the same thing.
