Affirmative Action has been a policy of the United States for several decades. It allows for a person's minority racial demographics to become part of the decision process in admitting a student into an advanced learning program. Instead of just being admitted to a college or university program based on grades, Affirmative Action sets some criteria to allow for the best grades of different racial demographics to be admitted, even if the best scores in their demographic are below the worst scores in another.
Is Affirmative Action still a policy that should be followed in the United States? There are some advantages and disadvantages to be considered before making any definitive decision.
The Pros of Affirmative Action
1. It gives everyone a chance to change their circumstances.
Kids that come from a racial minority demographic in the United States have a higher risk of growing up in poverty. That poverty can affect their overall educational opportunities. Affirmative Action helps to balance the playing field so that the wealth gaps don't have to continue playing a role in society.
2. It stresses education can become a way "to get out" beyond sheer athleticism.
Many kids who grow up in poor households look to their athletic talents as a way to get out of their neighborhoods and change their stars. Affirmative Action gives all kids the hope of a college education by giving those who get decent grades the chance to get out of poverty as well.
3. It creates a diversified college or university campus.
The greatest advantage that the United States has is its diversity. By creating learning environments that are diverse, people can learn from each other's unique strengths and see different perspectives that can develop their own personal strengths over time.
The Cons of Affirmative Action
1. It could create circumstances of reverse discrimination.
For students who are denied college entry because of Affirmative Action, it usually means that their grades are good enough to get in. Those grades may even be higher than those being admitted because of Affirmative Action policies. In other words, a racial minority may get accepted with lower grades because of the color of their skin.
2. It doesn't really change the core problem.
Although Affirmative Action does balance out educational opportunities at one end of the learning spectrum, it doesn't solve the root problem of poverty affecting the circumstances of learning. This is evidenced by the fact that states which have removed Affirmative Action have seen dramatic decreases in minority enrollments.
3. It may divide communities instead of bringing them together.
Many people on both sides view Affirmative Action as an unfair way to level the playing field. Some see opportunities being taken away from them. Others see not enough injustice being solved with this program.
Affirmative Action has helped many be able to pursue a career that they may never have been able to pursue in the past. There are costs with this program that must also be considered. By evaluating the pros and cons, we can all come together to decide if Affirmative Action should be kept as it is, updated to reflect modern needs, or simply cast aside.

As kids enter their school years, they become increasingly independent, spending much of their days outside the home in school and with peers. But talking with your child is still essential to bonding, so share ideas, opinions, and information.
Here are a few suggestions to aid communication:
As kids progress in school, their comprehension and use of language will become more sophisticated. Usually, kids will understand more vocabulary words and concepts than they can express. Your child should be able to engage in narrative discourse and share ideas and opinions in clear speech.
You should have ongoing communication with your child's teacher about overall language skills and progress. Kids with language comprehension and usage problems are at risk for academic difficulties.
A child who has a specific communication difficulty, such as persistent stuttering or a lisp, should be referred to the school speech-language pathologist (an expert who evaluates and treats speech and language disorders). Stay in touch with the therapist about therapy goals, language activities to practice at home, and your child's progress.
If your child's teacher suspects a language-based learning disability, comprehensive testing will be done. This can include a hearing test, psychoeducational assessment (standardized testing to evaluate your child's learning style as well as cognitive processes), and speech-language evaluation.
Problems in communication skills may include:
Medical professionals, such as speech pathologists, therapists, and your doctor, can help your child overcome communication problems.

Item DescriptionA pair of cut lead crystal Claret or wine glasses in the 'Georgian' pattern, hand made in England by Royal Doulton. Approximate Size 5 ¼" tall and 2 ¾" in diameter at the rims with the very slight variation which is usual for these hand made pieces. Condition Excellent used condition ~ no chips, cracks or other signs of damage and the glass is clear and bright. On close inspection, there are a few very minor scratches from use on them, but these are not noticed in normal circumstances. For the sake of accuracy, I will state that there may be the usual very minor 'as made' imperfections (tiny air bubbles, striations etc) in the glass which are normal for these hand made pieces and which don't detract from them in any way. Age I believe the maker's mark dates them to the mid 1980's. Maker's Marks Each glass is etched with the Royal Doulton mark shown in the pictures. Comments We are selling several other crystal glass items ~ please see our 'Items for Sale' list if you are interested ~ and will be happy to send them together (where possible) if you buy more than one.

Coming to a Close
jboyl5av on Apr 19th 2008
So with the project due date only a few days away now, everything is certainly coming to a close. The common theme in all of the work I have done for this project is the countless hours spent waiting for files to upload via UMW's unbearably slow network. But now almost everything is uploaded and placed into the proper exhibits, minus a few articles that Matt had to separate for me that got scanned to a batch, or rather one giant file. The tedious nature of scanning files, editing files, transcribing interviews and uploading everything into the website has been extremely frustrating at times, but certainly has forced me to be patient, as well as taught me the fine art of squeezing time out of an incredibly hectic schedule to get everything done. For the past 3 weeks especially, I have been living at the library, as well as Panera's stealing their free high speed wi-fi to upload files. In fact I have frequented Panera's so much lately I believe I have tried every soup, sandwich and salad they offer. Everyone in the group has worked extremely hard to get to our final product, especially over the past few days. We wanted to get everything polished for Friday's presentation, which I think went extremely well. It was so nice to see our website in its current form, timeline problems fixed and all. It was very satisfying as well to see the individual elements that each group member has worked on, fit together so nicely. I am just proud of our group. The experience of working with UMW's history, through research and oral history has been a wonderful experience, and has given me such pride as a student. But I have to say, I am glad that this project will be over come Tuesday, because it has been a very long and arduous semester.
