IEP in the Elementary School: Is It Working?
[ send me this paper ]
As with any broad-based educational program, it is necessary to know if the IEP approach to individualized education for disabled children is working as intended. The purpose in this 12 page paper is to review what the program was intended to be and how it is used, finally determining if it does indeed work. It would be unreasonable to assume that every IEP is a reflection of the entire program, and doubtless there are areas in which the realized effect is not what was intended. Overall, however, it appears to be working quite well, particularly when parents are as involved as they can manage to be. Bibliography lists 22 sources.

Inequality in Education
[ send me this paper ]
A 6 page argumentative essay arguing that only the government (State and Federal) can repair the current educational system. Even though parents who can afford it are sending their children to private schools to make up for the government's error, many parents cannot do so. Therefore, the federal guidelines handed down by President Clinton may be the only solution for most of the children in public school today. In any case, based on the evidence, the public school system must be reformed for future generations. Bibliography lists 9 sources.
