Papers On Special Populations & Conditions

Exusism in School
[ send me this paper ]
A 4 page paper discussing the detriments of offering excuses rather than effort. “My dog ate my homework” is tired and worn, but of course no nine-year-old realizes that until s/he tries to use it with the teacher. The high school student appearing bleary-eyed and lethargic in the early morning after working until midnight the night before can be seen as having a more legitimate excuse for not having her work done, but it still is an excuse nonetheless. Many adults seek to avoid taking personal responsibility for their own actions; exusism is only an early manifestation of that lifelong trap. The paper urges teachers and parents to expect more, and provides the example of the Knowledge is Power Program (KIPP) that has been so successful in public schools and is based on shouldering responsibility and working hard. Bibliography lists 5 sources.

Federal Definition of Learning Disabilities: Included and Excluded Characteristics
[ send me this paper ]
This is a 5 page paper discussing the federal definition of learning disabilities, the characteristics and the exclusions. While the federal definition of learning disabilities has allowed for the labeling of children with learning disabilities to obtain services and support in the educational system, the definition also allows for the exclusion of some children who need services and who many believe are learning disabled because of their disorders. Several characteristics of the definition rely on performance discrepancies based on aptitude-achievement testing which vary from state to state. In addition, several disorders such as attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) and several emotional and behavioral disorders are excluded but educators and researchers believe impair academic performance. In other instances, many children who would be state labeled as mentally retarded are often labeled by the school boards as learning disabled because of reluctance to label children as mentally retarded based on controversial definitions. Bibliography lists 8 sources.
