Academic Achievement and Children from Single or Two-Parent
Homes
[ send me this essay ]
This 10 page report discusses the differences that exist
in academic achievement of children from a single parent home and
those from homes in which two parents are present. Convincing
arguments have been made for all sides of the question. In fact,
there are those researchers who believe that it is not possible
to accurately determine a child’s academic progress or capability
based on just the issue of whether they are from one- or
two-parent family homes. For example questions should be asked
about socio-economic status, whether the child has a meaningful
and positive relationship with the parent living outside the
home, and if the child’s parent has never been married, has been
widowed rather than divorced, and whether or not one of the
parents is a step-parent. Bibliography lists 10 sources.

Academic Dishonesty
[ send me this essay ]
9 pages in length. Academic dishonesty, like all other forms of deviance, has important sociological dimensions. It is interesting to ask, therefore, how adequately the major sociological explanations of deviant behavior explain the occurrence of academically dishonest conduct. When the student discusses this perspective, it will be important to address such theories as strain theory, opportunity theory, differential association theory and labeling theory, all of which provide some type of motivation for this behavior. Bibliography lists 11 sources.

Academic Performance
[ send me this essay ]
Schools in the United States have had a
recognized problem for a number of years: the public has lost confidence
in the education system and the school's ability to educate. This 5
page paper argues that the perspective on poor academic performance must
change to include the factors existing outside of the educational arena
and that the schools need to initiate interventions that will bring
together the forces in the student's life in a positive manner.
Bibliography lists 6 sources.
