Nancy wrote this essay to promote an idea she believes would improve the lives of students. Read Nancy’s essay and look for the revisions she should make. When you finish reading, answer the questions that follow. Four Days Is Enough (1) Students, are you having a difficult time completing all the activities in your schedule? (2) Teachers, are you exhausted from nonstop work? (3) You are not alone. (4) Every day in schools across the nation, teens have challenging classes, hours of homework, and extracurricular activities such as sports and music. (5) By Friday, students are waking up exhausted, but they must drag themselves through one more school day. (6) Likewise, teachers are spending their weekends grading papers and preparing lessons instead of relaxing with family and friends. (7) In this program students spend a little more time in school four days a week. (8) Then they have Friday off to catch up on their sleep, enjoy time with family and friends, and complete their many responsibilities. (9) Although some experts fear that reducing the length of the school week will worsen student learning, recent studies contradict this. (10) In 2015 Dr. Mark Anderson of Montana State University and Dr. Mary Beth Walker of Georgia State University reviewed scores for Colorado elementary school students who were placed in a four-day system.

    00:00:00 Oliver Wang Host Hi everyone. Before we get started today, just wanted to let you know that for the next month’s worth of episodes, we have a special guest co-host sitting in for Morgan Rhodes, who is busy with some incredible music supervision projects. Both Morgan and I couldn’t be more pleased to have arts and culture writer and critic, Ernest Hardy, sitting in for Morgan. And if you recall, Ernest joined us back in 2017 for a wonderful conversation about Sade’s Love Deluxe; which you can find in your feed, in case you want to refamiliarize yourself with Ernest’s brilliance or you just want to listen to a great episode. 00:00:35 Music Music “Crown Ones” off the album Stepfather by People Under The Stairs 00:00:41 Oliver Host Hello, I’m Oliver Wang. 00:00:43 Ernest Host And I’m Ernest Hardy, sitting in for Morgan Rhodes. You’re listening Hardy to Heat Rocks. 00:00:47 Oliver Host Every episode we invite a guest to join us to talk about a heat rock. You know, an album that’s hot, hot, hot. And today, we will be taking a trip to Rydell High School to revisit the iconic soundtrack to the 1978 smash movie-musical, Grease. 00:01:02 Music Music “You’re The One That I Want” off the album Grease: The Original Soundtrack. Chill 1950s rock with a steady beat, guitar, and occasional piano. DANNY ZUKO: I got chills, they're multiplying And I'm losing control 'Cause the power you're supplying It's electrifying! [Music fades out as Oliver speaks] 00:01:20 Oliver Host I was in first grade the year that Grease came out in theaters, and I think one of the only memories I have about the entirety of first grade was when our teacher decided to put on the Grease soundtrack onto the class phonograph and play us “Grease Lightnin’”.

  • The Rewards and Risks of Low-Risk Assessment in the High-Stakes Law School Classroom
    \\jciprod01\productn\E\ELO\7-2\ELO208.txt unknown Seq: 1 20-AUG-15 12:10 “IT’S NOT FOR A GRADE”: THE REWARDS AND RISKS OF LOW-RISK ASSESSMENT IN THE HIGH-STAKES LAW SCHOOL CLASSROOM OLYMPIA DUHART* I. INTRODUCTION Even before they walk into their first classroom, law students are convinced that law school is an ultra-competitive game. And in many significant ways—class ranking, grading curves, teaching methods— the competitive nature of law school is reinforced and confirmed. To- day, the escalating cost of legal education1 and shrinking job opportu- nities nationwide2 have only fueled the notion of law school as a zero- sum game with very high stakes. Law schools are even ranked based on student competitiveness.3 After all, law school has never been an en- deavor for the faint of heart.4 * Professor of Law and Director of the Legal Research and Writing Program at Nova Southeastern University, Shepard Broad College of Law. Many thanks to Frederick J. Pye III and Joseph Morgese for their research assistance with this article. I also appreci- ate the important feedback from Cai Adia.

Z128a31Ra~0 TESTIMONY OF RON ~7ILCOX Executive Vice President and Chief Business and Legal Affairs Officer SONY BMG MUSIC ENTERTAINMENT New York, NY Before the COPYRIGHT ROYALTY JUDGES Washington, D.C. PUBLIC OUALIFICATIONS My name is Ron Wilcox, and I am the Executive Vice President and Chief Business and Legal Affairs Officer of SONY BMG MUSIC ENTERTATNMENT. Zn that position, I oversee all of SONY BMG's Business and Legal Affairs activities, including negotiating deals with artists, music publishers, and digital music services and formulation of policies concerning new technologies and other matters. I have worked in the music business for almost 25 years. Prior to Sony's merger with BMG, I was Executive Vice President, Business Affairs and New Technology at Sony Music Entertainment. Between 1990 and 2000, I was Senior Vice President, Business Affairs & Administration at Sony Music. From 1983 to 1990, I worked in Business Affairs for CBS Records. Previously, I was an attorney for CBS Inc. I graduated ~om the College of Wooster in 1975 and the University of Michigan Law School in 1978. INTRODUCTION AND SUMMARY Record companies like SONY BMG are the driving force of the music industry. It is record companies that turn the notes and lyrics of songs - or often just an idea for a song - into a high-quality commercial product, connect it with an audience, and distribute it through every practicable means. The creative contribution and investment made by record companies are what makes it possible for songwriters and publishers to make money from songs.

  • Can Music Make You Sick?: Measuring the Price of Musical
    “Musicians often pay a high price for sharing their art with us. Underneath the glow of success can often lie loneliness and exhaustion, not to mention the basic struggles of paying the rent or buying CAN food. Sally Anne Gross and George Musgrave raise important questions – and we need to listen to what the musicians have to tell us about their working conditions and their mental health.” Emma Warren (Music Journalist and Author) MUSIC “Singing is crying for grown-ups. To create great songs or play them with meaning its creators reach far into emotion and fragility seeking the communion we demand of music. The world loves music for bridging those lines. However, music’s toll on musicians can leave deep scars. In this important book, Sally Anne Gross and George Musgrave investigate the relationship between the wellbeing music brings to society and the wellbeing of those who create. It’s a much SICK? YOU MAKE needed reality check, deglamourising the romantic image of the tortured artist.” Crispin Hunt (Multi-Platinum Songwriter/Record Producer, Chair of the Ivors Academy) It is often assumed that creative people are prone to psychological instability, and that this explains apparent associations between cultural production and mental health problems. In their detailed study of recording and performing artists in the British music industry, Sally Anne Gross and George Musgrave turn this view on its head. By listening to how musicians understand and experience their working lives, this book proposes that whilst making music is therapeutic, making a career from music can be traumatic. The authors show how careers based on an all-consuming passion have become more insecure and devalued.

Based on insights gleaned from our survey, we recommend that cities view climate action through five lenses: governance, innovation, risk reduction, operational sustainability, and climate equity.
