Writing Feedback / 'Budget cuts' - the leading problem facing our eduactional system today? [2]

Budget cut has been the leading problem facing our educational system today. when the state of California announced a four billion dollar budget cut, many Californians have raised more questions with this measure. Budget cuts in education will mean lesser funding for students in classrooms, the classroom will have a bigger student population and the school maintenance will have lesser spending.

Budget cut in education in California will not benefit the students of California. When I first heard of the budget cut, I believe that California public schools will be in danger. Each student is allocated a certain amount of money for one school year which includes reference materials like books and library materials. Teachers will also need projectors, computers and television. With a lesser budget, there will be limited resources for each student. In the end, two students will end up using one book which is not vital to learning.

When the budget cut will be taking its toll, school districts will be forced not to hire teachers anymore. If there will be lesser teachers, classroom populations will be bigger than the usual. A teacher-student ratio is 1:35 but with the budget cut, students in the classroom will increase to 45-50 students. That means more space will be needed to accommodate the students. Also, a crowded classroom is not conducive to the learning process.

Lastly, funding for the school's maintenance will also be affected. Maintaining a classroom and the school as a whole will need better funding, but with the budget cuts, these concerns will be jeopardized. Cleanliness, repairs of roofs and chairs, paints and classroom supplies will be most likely affected. Again, a clean and safe surrounding will be very much conducive to learning because a student who is in this kind of environment will be able to concentrate more.

In the final analysis, budget cut in education will bring a disaster to the students.Students should be given top priority to learn, excel and benefit from school and not depriving them of their right to learn. Budget cuts in education will mean lesser funding for students in classrooms, the classroom will have a bigger student population and the school maintenance will have lesser spending.If California wants to succeed, the public school system must be a priority and the only thing for it to happen is properly funding public schools.

Undergraduate / Cbest exam; Property theft - problem in community essay [5]

Describe a problem in your community and how it affected you and the community. Tell how the problem was resolved.

[Here is my essay about the topic..please proofread this..Thanks everyone.]Property theft has been one of the greatest problems faced by every community aside from drugs and homicide. In the community where I live, property theft has always been an issue. Day after day, more houses were being robbed in broad daylight. If there is a case of property theft; properties are broken and stolen, fear was developed among victims and trust among neighbors was compromised.

Property theft caused victims property damage and loss. Usually, if there was a robbery in a house, thieves break windows or doors to get in the home which causes property damage. Aside from the damage being done, the theft victim will be at loss; household appliances, jewelry and money are the most common interest of these thieves.

Theft also causes fear among the victims. In many instances, these homeowners are now afraid of being robbed the second time. Other homeowners would be very afraid of leaving their home just to protect their property.

Trust among neighbors was being compromised when a house was robbed. Some homeowners will think that their next door neighbor might be the thief with the numerous cases of theft arising. Some next door neighbors might have been observing another neighbor's movement the time they leave home and the time they arrived.

With the cases of property theft increasing in most communities, homeowners have installed home security to protect their property and the house itself. Other homeowners bought pet dogs because it can help protect properties also. In our community where theft was a problem, concerned homeowners have put up a program which involves other homeowners and the authorities. This program was called Safe and sound community. This program is all about protecting property and people's lives. As a volunteer for the community myself, we have installed street signs that says" report unusual activities to the area to police." The program was very much successful because there have been less theft since it was established.

There is no way property theft will be prevented because thieves are everywhere waiting for their next move. There are ways that theft can be lessened, it just needs the help of concerned individuals to help report it once they see one. Even though theft has not been resolved, small measures were laid to easily lessen theft in our community. It will just take time and more effort for all individuals to solve the theft problems surrounding our community.
