Your source for all things LVMS Between school, sports, musical activities Homework… Harmful or and religious classes, most students have busy schedules which get even busier due to homework Helpful? and contributes to the fact that homework may be By: Colin McLoughlin - House 6-1 harmful. The author of “Thumbs Up, Thumbs Down” states that homework “can cut into sleep time.” If It is a beautiful day outside but then you kids don’t get enough sleep, their schoolwork will have to come inside, sit down, and grab your suffer causing them to receive poorer grades. In my backpack. Gazing out the window, wishing you experience, homework has affected my schedule with could run outside and be free, one silly thing respect to sports and after school activities. If I have holds you back...homework! There has been too much homework, I am forced to miss out on much debate about whether homework is harmful those activities because homework comes or helpful. Homework may be more harmful than first. Some people would argue that if students have helpful to students because it reduces family time, a busy schedule, homework could help them increase affects your schedule, and increases the chance of their time management skills. Many reasons support cheating. the fact that homework is harmful one being the fact Homework is harmful for many reasons, that it gives a busy schedule even busier. one of most important being that it reduces family Cheating in school may stem from a student and leisure time. In the info graphic titled, not completing his homework, which is another “Thumbs Up, Thumbs Down,” the author states reason that homework can be harmful. In “Thumbs that homework “can decrease family and Up, Thumbs Down,” the author states that homework community activities.” It is critical for students to creates “increased opportunities for cheating.” This spend more time with their family and happens because when a student does not do his community, so they can be more involved with homework, he will often copy off of another student their families and have a better social life. In that makes him a cheater. In “5 Reasons Kids Need addition, homework also takes away free time Homework and 5 Reasons They Don’t” the author with friends which increases a student’s stress explains that, “children end up copying off of another level. The author in “5 Reasons Kids Need one in an attempt to finish their assignments.” Some Homework and 5 Reasons They Don’t” the author people say that homework can increase the states that kids need, “time to relax and take their understanding of the lesson, which is true. However, minds off of work.” With growing bodies and when a student is cheating that does nothing to pressures from school, friends, and sports, kids increase the understanding. An increased opportunity need to give their body and mind a chance to rest for cheating is another of the many reasons and relax. As a result, a decrease in family and homework is harmful. leisure time is one of the major factors that makes Homework may not be as helpful as homework harmful. everybody thinks. In fact, it may actually be more harmful. A decrease in family and leisure time, a busier schedule, and an increased opportunity for cheating all contribute to the fact that homework can be harmful. Maybe if homework were either eliminated completely or at least greatly reduced, kids could go outside and be free rather than being trapped inside, frustrated and antsy because they want to adventure outside. LONG VALLEY MIDDLE SCHOOL April / May 2016 Homework Argument Essay By Liya Barski – House 6-1 “Time spent on homework is time spent well.” Homework is truly beneficial. Homework cannot only help students in school, but can help them for the rest of their lives. Homework develops life skills, gives responsibilities, and gives students time to practice and get a better understanding about what is being taught. Homework is good to have for many reasons, and one reason is it develops life skills. Over time, homework can give students self-discipline skills, good study habits, better critical thinking skills, and time management skills. In the info graphic, “Thumbs up Thumbs Down”, it says thumbs up to, “ Stronger critical thinking skills.” It also says thumbs up to, “Better study habits and time management.” Being able to stop yourself from doing something, and focus on something else in a time frame is definitely a useful life skill. Homework may seem pointless, but it gives you skills that will help people in life. Responsibility is another benefit from homework. Having homework is a responsibility. In the article, “5 Reasons Kids Need Homework, 5 Reasons They Don’t” it states, “Doing homework is also a great way to develop responsibility. By being assigned work one day, and knowing it has to be done by the next day, students will develop a sense of punctuality of turning in work on time.” As students get used to turning their work in on time, responsibility will become a habit. Homework allows students to practice being responsible, which is certainly a skill used in life. Another reason why homework is beneficial is because it gives students a chance to practice what is being taught on their own. If a student is having a hard time understanding something, homework allows them to practice it and get better at it. In the article “5 Reasons Kids Need Homework, 5 Reasons They Don’t” it says, “ It also provides students with the opportunity to practice at what it takes to be successful in school.” By having teachers give homework, students will practice on their own, and therefore become a better student. However, too much homework can lead to stress and frustration, but if there is just enough, it can also lead to success. Homework is a way for students to review what is being taught and confirms that they understand what is being taught. Without a doubt, homework is beneficial to students. It gives them life skills without them knowing it, responsibility, and a chance to understand a subject better. In conclusion, homework is not a waste of time, and is helpful, beneficial, and useful to students in many ways. Ancient China is Fun! With Mrs. Melda By: Nick Antonelle (House 6-2) In Social Studies class with Mrs. Melda, we’ve learned about the fascinating civilization of Ancient China. It has been really fun to start the unit knowing very little, and then end the unit having lots of knowledge. We’ve learned about The 3 Chinese Philosophies. Daoism, Legalism, and Confucianism. We also learned about the Mandate of Heaven. This is an idea or philosophy believed to be granted by a god. China even has a different calendar than us- the Chinese Zodiac! Did you know that this year is The Year Of The Monkey? We’ve successfully wrapped up our Ancient China unit in House 6-2 and we are moving down the timeline to Ancient Greece!

This lab was enjoyable because we had a chance to be a geologist. In conclusion, Masterminds taught us about how the physical properties can determine the type of mineral. While there definitely are Many Minerals (4,000 Aquamarine; the mineral you see above to be exact), there are also plenty of different types of rocks.

But how of hardness, while Talc is the softest meriting a 1 do you tell rocks and minerals apart? At the top in terms of hardness?

  • USMNT Rumors: Bruce Arena Takes Over As Head Coach
    USMNT Rumors: Bruce Arena takes over as head coach Author : Robert D. Cobb The United States Soccer Federation made a major decision on Monday with the firing of manager and technical director Jurgen Klinsmann. The move follows a disastrous start to the final round of 2018 World Cup qualifying, with losses to Mexico and Costa Rica that have the Stars and Stripes at the bottom of the Hexagonal Round standings. Problems within Klinsmann’s reign went beyond simply the two recent defeats and the change was brewing over the past few years. According to multiple reports including Sports Illustrated's Grant Wahl, Bruce Arena will be the next USMNT manager. His return as USMNT manager would bring the current LA Galaxy manager to familiar ground. A member of the US Soccer Hall of Fame, Arena brings vast experience and one of the most successful resumes in the domestic game. https://twitter.com/GrantWahl/status/800807812469321732 It will be interesting to see what US Soccer says in its press conference later on Tuesday about these rumors. Will he take over on an interim basis while US Soccer considers full-time candidates, or is he the guy through World Cup 2018? There are several positives to Bruce Arena being back with the Yanks once more no matter the duration. 4-4-2 One of Klinsmann’s most frustrating tendencies was to tinker and experiment with the US lineup too often. Without even taking into account roster choices, the formation and approach were a constant guessing game. Klinsmann’s decision to utilize a 3-5-2 in the recent qualifier against Mexico ultimately undermined the team’s performance.

    The incentive (in)compatibility of group-based qualification systems L´aszl´oCsat´o* Institute for Computer Science and Control (SZTAKI) Laboratory on Engineering and Management Intelligence, Research Group of Operations Research and Decision Systems Corvinus University of Budapest (BCE) Department of Operations Research and Actuarial Sciences Budapest, Hungary 21st April 2020 Ein Fehler in der ursprunglichen¨ Versammlung der Heere ist im ganzen Verlauf des Feldzuges kaum wieder gut zu machen.1 (Helmuth Karl Bernhard von Moltke: Taktisch-strategische Aufs¨atzeaus den Jahren 1857 bis 1871 ) Abstract Tournament organisers supposedly design rules such that a team cannot be strictly better off by exerting a lower effort. However, the European qualification tourna- ments for recent FIFA soccer World Cups are known to violate this requirement, which inspires our study on the incentive compatibility of similar group-based qualification systems. Theorems listing the sufficient and necessary conditions of strategy-proofness are provided and applied to classify several soccer qualification tournaments for FIFA World Cups and UEFA European Championships. Two reasonable mechanisms are proposed to solve the problem of incentive incompatibil- ity: the first is based on abolishing the anonymity of the matches discarded inthe comparison of teams from different groups, while the second involves a rethinking of the seeding procedure. Our results have useful implications for the governing bodies of major sports.

  • " I Believe That We Will Win!": American Myth-Making and The
    “I Believe that We Will Win!”: American Myth-Making and the World Cup A thesis submitted to the Graduate School of the University of Cincinnati in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts in the Department of Communication of the College of Arts and Sciences by Michael Burkel B.A. University of Cincinnati April 2015 Committee Chair: Eric Jenkins, Ph.D. 2 Abstract This thesis examines the pervasiveness of nationalistic rhetoric and narratives in soccer-related media. The rhetorical strategies used by commentators, analysts, and fans to fit the United States Men’s Nation Team into the myth of American Exceptionalism are analyzed. First, four broadcasted soccer matches in which the United States played Mexico are analyzed, along with the available prematch, halftime, and postmatch studio coverage, in order to explain the growth of an exceptionally American storyline known as the Dos a Cero myth. Afterward, an analysis of fan responses to World Cup-related threads on a popular social media site are analyzed for nationalistic rhetoric and narrative content. This thesis offers insight into the ubiquitous nature of the myth of American Exceptionalism, showing the tactics used by Americans to rhetorically twist the facts to fit their preferred reality of an America that always triumphs in the end. 3 4 TABLE OF CONTENTS ABSTRACT: ……………………………………………………………………………………. 2 CHAPTER: I: INTRODUCTION: ……….…………………………………………………………… 5 II.
