Steinbeck describes Cathy from her early childhood. He writes that she was always a strange and fascinating child. She was born as an only child to the Ames family. She was always a liar, but not like many other children lie, her lies “were not innocent” and, unlike others, “she never forgot her lies” (East of Eden 98). She also at a very young age learnt the power of sexuality and there was one incident, when she is ten years old, in which she locks herself and ties herself in the barn with two fourteen year old boys.
Exercise One: Judging the book by its cover, Mary Anne Brifman is a woman of style and sophistication. She wore a timeless black blouse and laced herself in strands of stunning white pearls.

By The light in her face when she talked you also wouldn’t guess she was back in Queensland to deal with her mother’s murder. In fact, the only thing that hinted at her naughty and troubled life chapters were her cocked eyebrows, a few frown lines, her cheeky smirk and the way she commanded your attention from a knowingly raised finger.

Labor productivity, which is the ratio of output to the input in a production process, is a matter of significant concern to American policymakers. It has reported stagnant progress, averaging at only approximately one percent since 2009, a historical low and points to possible labor economic flares within our system. A productive workforce generates "more output with few hours worked" necessary in bolstering the gross domestic product, and its subsequent boost would go towards strong economic performance (Soergel N.p). Moreover, enhanced labor productivity is crucial towards harmonizing and stabilizing wage disparities favorable to the employee population. As a result, policymakers have for a long time examined the root causes of this declining

In Nat Hentoff essay, “Should This Student Have Been Expelled?” he debates that freedom of speech should be valued no matter how it is taken by others.

Freedom of speech is difficult subject that has many different views on it.
The intuiging ideology of unschooling was presented by John Holt, a classroom teacher and educational reformer (Solomon 1). It wasn't until he wrote Instead of Education: Ways to Help People Do Things Better, that John Holt became acquainted with homeschooling.

The essays “The Lesson” by Toni Cade Bambara and “Lions and Tigers and and Bears” by Bil Buford, both challenge the ideas that individuals sometimes feel bonded by, beliefs that stunt growth and freedom. These essays take place in New York City, circa 1970 and 2000 respectively. In Buford’s essay, the reader is given a historical account of Central Park, the murders, past visitors and lastly the people he meet that night. A park one might say mimics the atmosphere of a wilderness, though devoid of the animals that prevent one from immersing oneself with nature.
Introduction: Homeschooling has been around longer than two hundred years but has recently became a ‘modern’ form of schooling about fifty or so years ago. In Webster’s dictionary the definition of homeschooling can be found as “the practice of teaching one 's own children at home, instead of sending them to school.” There can be many reasons why some parents make the discussion to keep their children at home instead of sending them to public or a private school. But, not everyone can do homeschooling.
Home schooling is a trending concept that is popular mostly in US and around the world. Home schooling preferred often by the parents that have environmental concerns, religious beliefs, lack of confidence to the education quality of the public and private schools and inadequacy of curriculum. They believe that they can give better education to their children at home. According to Jamie Martin (Homeschooling 101: What Is Homeschooling, 2012), home schooling began to grow in the 1970s, when popular writers and researchers such as John Holt and Dorothy and Raymond Moore wrote about the educational reforms and they alleged that home schooling is a valid educational alternative.
Starting off with negative part of homeschooling. There aren 't many negative stuff about it but the main negative point is that students who are homeschooled would have less communication with friends and more with family member, which is good and bad at the same time. There are many positive things about homeschooling. Some advantages of homeschooling is academic achievements, implications on social development, leadership, community involvement, parent determining the curriculum and their children 's schooling schedule, create strong bonds with their children, adapt teaching methods best suiting how their children learn, spend extra time with their children on difficult concepts and move ahead after children master a subject or concept, provide religious and ethical instruction for their children, protect or shelter children from school violence, drugs, and other negative behaviors children in public schools frequently encounter, provide their children with the personal interaction that teachers in large classrooms are not able to provide, Spend extra time helping their children develop any special talents they possess, including musical, athletic, etc, enjoy spending more time with their children, assist their children during adolescence and other trying times and my favorite is to take their children on vacations when public school is still in session. Also, that the impact of homeschooling in this manner often improves emotional and psychological development in children.
Currently, it is estimated that over one million families school their children at home. Most of these families include a breadwinner and a stay-at-home parent who does most of the teaching, although there are single parent families and dual career families who home school.” according to Teach Target. Personally, I believe that homeschooling isn’t the best option for kids; they rather go to school to help them with their social life, their level of understanding and to help them get inspired by the surroundings. There are a lot of reasons why parents should stop homeschooling their children and send them to public or private schools.
