Emotional Characteristics Of Creative/Gifted Children
[ send me this paper ]
5 pages in length. There is nothing inherently wrong with being smart, unless the individual is a child who does not understand why he or she is having difficulty fitting in to his or her age group. Gifted children often feel shunned from others because they cannot readily relate to them on the same academic level; many gifted children are pushed forward into higher grades with classmates much older and, thereby, have even less in common with them. Indeed, the double-edged sword of being a gifted child lends itself to a multitude of confusing emotions – particularly in the adolescent stage – when it comes to fitting in with his or her peers.

Employment Outcomes for Minority Students
[ send me this paper ]
7 pages in length. Many schools today offer school-to-work initiatives which serve the purpose of helping students prepare for their futures outside of the classroom environment.

But do these programs help all the students equally? Many studies show that minority students do not have the same opportunity to take advantage of the school-to-work programs; this paper takes a look at the issue. Bibliography lists 4 sources.

Employment Outcomes of Ex-Offender JTPA Trainees
[ send me this paper ]
This 6 page report discusses an article with the above title that examines the relationship between trainees participating in the JTPA programs who were ex-offenders and had been incarcerated compared to non-offenders who faced other barriers to employment. Not surprisingly, research generally supported the assumption that those without an arrest record were typically thought of more highly, regardless of the qualifications or experience of a person who had been convicted of a crime. Yet a surprisingly little amount of research has actually been done on the issue. No secondary sources.
