NO,because every student  must be given an opportunity to hold the responsibilities in the class.A prefect in school may lead to inferior feeling in other students.

We have them in my school. The kids are amazingly responsible...but it's an overseas international school (with kids from over 40 different countries). The rules are totally different over here.

Some people say that school uniform diminshes pupils' individuality. \n\nI disagree - this is just like saying that you <can> judge a book by its cover (or in this case, a person by the clothes they wear).

The answer depends on the philosophy of the teacher. Some contend that schools should be purely academies of a certain body of knowledge -- that is what is covered on standardized tests. Others, myself included, feel that school should teach more than that. A successful school teaches future citizens the skills that will help them be independent, successful workers. Learning how to meet deadlines, working with others in a peaceful manner, conflict resolution, appropriate behavior and dress in a work environment -- all of these are fostered in school and are vital in the working world. School should prepare you for your life experiences.

As others have said, in an ideal world yes - but in reality its is a case by case proposition.  I think it is less difficult in primary school. Though these sames students aren't as easily accepted once they get to high school. Lastly, the funding isn't always there (regardless of what the government says about improving the educational experience of all students and claims on funding)and when this happens both the student suffers as well as the other forgotten participant - the rest of the students in their class.

It is important you know what is going on in the schools and how your child is learning and if they are smarter than the education they are getting.  Being involved has teachers treating your child better.  Keep informed on all that is going on and volunteer to help.  That way you have the inside track if something is not going correctly.

Hmm. Well, there are not too many reasons why it would be good not to have them.\nHowever, from a legal stand point, a school could feasibly leave themselves open for litigation. By having the cameras there, one has a false sense of security that someone is 'keeping an eye' on them. \nI have to say that there are more reasons to bring them into the schools. Especially if there is a history of violence (fights, drugs, ganges, etc.) in the school. In many instances, it would not be a 'He said, She said'. There would be photographic evidence to back up a claim.\n\n--- And, this is not an invasion of privacy if the cameras are in public places. There is no expectation of privacy in any place other than a bathroom. \nLikewise, minors have very limited rights as far as law is considered. If there is an issue, a parent can petition their removal. But, as I stated above, any rational parent would want this added security measure.

I'm a teacher in a Title I school.  That's up to the teacher/principal.  However, if you offered to volunteer, or had a certain reason for observing, reasonable teachers/principals would let you observe.  May I ask your reason for wanting to attend?  I may be able to give you a more specific answer with more info.

In short it depends on your teachers, and how sticky they are with the rules.  Also what does your highschool policies say? most likely if they really dont care, you probably dont have much to worry about, but if just one of them does, you just might be hooped

I'm an elementary school teacher (first grade and now kindergarten).  When you have small children with many absences or tardies, there's something wrong with the parents.  Small children need the help of adults to get to school on time.  In the case of elementary school aged children I would say yes.  When kids get to be teenagers in middle and high school, it's a  different story.  By that age I think teens should be responsible enough to get themselves to school on time.  Some kids purposely ditch certain classes.  In that case I don't think it's fair to hold parents responsible.  I think teens should be punished for ditching their classes.  Maybe they should be forced to do detention or Saturday school; if they continue, make the punishment even harsher.  Perhaps if you've been absent a certain number of days you shouldn't be allowed to graduate until you make up those hours.  Or maybe they could require teens to complete some sort of community service to make up those hours.  I think it's time that we make people responsible for their own actions.

I don't think there should be a uniform policy in public schools. They say kids in uniforms are better behaved and after working a year in an elementary school that requires uniforms, I learned that just isn't true. They're the same kids, only in uniform. Uniforms are pointless. Uniforms don't change the ways kids act, a juvenile delinquent in a uniform is still a juvenile delinquent.

Students should be allowed to carry a cellular phone with them during school hours. To prevent disruption of class the phones should always be off. They should not use the phone unless they are on break or it is an emergency. Not a "Oh my goodness, my hair is a mess" emergency, but a true emergency. We have school violence and natural disasters, things that happen not on the average day, but a parent or guardian does feel more at ease believing that if they can find their child or reassure them. So I say allow cell phones, but be responsible. Don't disrupt the class.

You shouldn't, because many people will not make it back to school, be late getting back, get into accidents while hurrying out, etc.  They might get into a fight while out there--who would be responsible for them?  They are more likely to do drug deals or have sex if they can leave school during the day.  If we thought about it, we could probably come up with a dozen more reasons that high schools should have a closed campus at lunch.

I'm going to popular with this answer!\n\nYES school uniform is great. It saves on the hassle of the latest this that and the other from stropping teenagers. My youngest son has a very strict uniform code at his school. I only wish they would include a 'school coat' as this would save headaches on having to have the latest fashion accessory.\n\nI believe that a uniform makes the child feel part of a community where everyone is the same. I have to wear a uniform for work and think it's great because we get on with working instead of seeing who is wearing what!\n\nUniforms are worn for only a small proportion of the day when our little (or not so little) darlings can turn back into clothes horses!

I think you are asking whether or not children should be permitted to work on their homework during school hours.  If that is not your question, then please rephrase it.\n\nIt seems there is no good reason why a student should not work on their homework during school hours if they have a free study period, or during lunch hour if they choose, so as to have more free time after school.  Indeed, I am at a loss to understand what arguments might be raised on the other side.  Of course, if a student is doing homework from one class while sitting in another class, and therefore not paying attention to the class he is in, that is not right, and the teacher would be justified in insisting he put it away and pay attention.
