Deconstructing The Marginalization Of “Underclass” Students: Disciplinary Alternative Education, I. India Geronimo
Deconstructing The Marginalization Of “Underclass” Students: Disciplinary Alternative Education, I. India Geronimo
I. India Geronimo
Disciplinary alternative education programs have the potential to marginalize students by separating and permanently tracking them out of the mainstream school system into an underclass of the educational community. The students who are funneled into alternative education programs are often those students who are perceived to be undesirable and low-achieving. Marginalizing these students is attractive because it: 1) is an immediate method for relieving school administrator fatigue; 2) it is an extension of the zero tolerance and punitive approach that has plagued the criminal justice system and is a politically attractive manner for administrators and politicians to appear “tough on …

Teaching Negotiation To A Globally Diverse Audience: Ethics, Morality And Cultural Differences, David Allen Larson, Vanessa Seyman
David Allen Larson
"Teaching Negotiation to a Globally Diverse Audience: Ethics, Morality, and Cultural Differences" (by David Allen Larson and Vanessa Seyman) This is a short article discussing the challenges of teaching negotiation, and also the challenge of actually negotiating, in a globally diverse environment. Issues of ethics, morality and culture can surface quite quickly when teaching and negotiating in a multicultural environment. The article builds upon our recent experiences as participants in the Second Generation Global Negotiation conference held Istanbul, Turkey. The article provides examples of how cultural and language differences can impact both actual negotiations and negotiation teaching and provides suggestions …

Proceedings Of The 2009 Nrc Federal Facilities Council/James Madison University Symposium On Protecting Large Facility Complexes;, George H. Baker, Cheryl E. Wilkins
George H Baker
Large, complex facilities pose unique protection challenges involving multidisciplinary expertise and collaboration among government, academia, and the private sector. The symposium served as a forum for sharing experiences in dealing with large facility catastrophic events and risk management. The symposium was organized based on the value of interaction among different people representing diverse disciplines. In many instances, such interactions lead to solutions that would not have been developed within disciplinary stovepipes. The venue was divided into three panels addressing physical security, cyber security, and real facility case studies. We were also privileged to have three keynote speakers including Dr. Charles …

Gender Budget Analysis In Morocco: Achieving Education Parity For Women And Girls, Christie J. Edwards
Gender Budget Analysis In Morocco: Achieving Education Parity For Women And Girls, Christie J. Edwards
Christie J. Edwards Esq.
The Kingdom of Morocco has a long history of stability and democracy in the North African region, in large part due to the government’s commitment to improving the lives and status of women and girls. In the past few years, Morocco has set ambitious goals for increased access for women and girls to education as key strategies for the country’s economic development. However, although the government has committed to these gender-specific policies, implementation of education and literacy programs has been sporadic and inconsistent due to the enormity of the problem of female illiteracy and the complexity of the solutions proposed …
“Your Results May Vary”: Protecting Students And Taxpayers Through Tighter Regulation Of Proprietary School Representations, Aaron N. Taylor
“Your Results May Vary”: Protecting Students And Taxpayers Through Tighter Regulation Of Proprietary School Representations, Aaron N. Taylor
AARON N TAYLOR
This article argues for stricter regulation of proprietary (for-profit) school advertising and recruitment practices and proffers specific proposals for effectuating this regulation. Proprietary schools play an important role in broadening access to higher education. They enroll a large number of students who are underserved by traditional, non-profit institutions. These students tend to be poorer, less educated, and older than students at traditional schools, and they tend to undertake higher education for very practical reasons. These characteristics make them particularly susceptible to deceptive marketing and unfounded promises of higher education providers. Unfortunately, some proprietary schools exploit the susceptibilities of their target …
The Proper Guardians Of Foster Children’S Educational Interests, Margaret Ryznar, Chai Park
The Proper Guardians Of Foster Children’S Educational Interests, Margaret Ryznar, Chai Park
Margaret Ryznar
The United States Supreme Court has enumerated a constitutionally protected parental right to control the upbringing of one’s child that includes the right to direct the child’s education. The states, meanwhile, have differed in their interpretation and application of this principle when foster children’s educational interests conflict with their biological parents’ wishes. Specifically, although some states permit the judicial limitation of parental rights over children’s education during foster care placement, others do not. This Article is among the first to consider the benefits and consequences of each approach in the context of parents’ rights and children’s best interests.
The Potential Contribution Of Adr To An Integrated Curriculum: Preparing Law Students For Real World Lawyering, John Lande, Jean R. Sternlight
The Potential Contribution Of Adr To An Integrated Curriculum: Preparing Law Students For Real World Lawyering, John Lande, Jean R. Sternlight
John Lande
This Article briefly reviews the long history of critiques of legal education that highlight the failure to adequately prepare students for what they will and should do as attorneys. It takes a sober look at the hurdles reformers face when trying to make significant curricular changes. Recognizing these substantial barriers, it proposes a modest and feasible menu of reforms that interested faculty and law schools can achieve without investing substantial additional resources. The proposals are not intended as a comprehensive package to be implemented on an all-or-nothing basis but as a set of options to be selected by individual faculty …
Settling Idea Cases: Making Up Is Hard To Do, Mark C. Weber
Settling Idea Cases: Making Up Is Hard To Do, Mark C. Weber
Mark C. Weber
Like most other legal disputes, most cases brought under the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA) settle. But although IDEA, the federal law governing special education, was enacted a generation ago, litigants still lack guidance how the mechanisms of settlement should work, what the settlement agreement should look like, and what to do if one side of the dispute fails to live up to its agreement. Settling an IDEA case entails unique issues—and unique pitfalls—that make the topic even more challenging than the settlement of other cases. IDEA has a mediation provision with extensive requirements and a one-of-a-kind prehearing settlement …
Special Education From The (Damp) Ground Up: Children With Disabilities In A Charter School-Dependent Educational System, Mark C. Weber
Special Education From The (Damp) Ground Up: Children With Disabilities In A Charter School-Dependent Educational System, Mark C. Weber
Mark C. Weber
Hurricane Katrina created the need and the opportunity to reconstitute the New Orleans public school system. Educational reformers took advantage of the destruction of existing institutions to build a new system based on educational choice and dependent on charter schools to provide the choices. The disaster also created the need and opportunity to rebuild the system of special education in the city, but education for children with disabilities appears to have been an afterthought. Reports have surfaced of children being steered away from charter schools or inadequately served there. This paper asks what principles should guide reformers in establishing education …
School Vouchers And The Road To Academic Excellence After Bush V. Holmes, Stephen Messer
School Vouchers And The Road To Academic Excellence After Bush V. Holmes, Stephen Messer
Stephen Messer
This article discusses the recent battle in the Florida courts regarding Florida's version of school vouchers. The article debates the state district level and supreme level decisions (both of which found the vouchers unconstitutional, but on different grounds). The article then recognizes the split in the Florida Supreme Court, noting that all Republican appointees to the court dissented in the ruling and that while the issue is still alive and well, the current Republican governor has recently replaced 4 members of the Court; this restaffing of the court, combined with a school system that continues to fall behind, has created …
