Charlotte Schools Look To Magnets To Close The Racial Gap

Charlotte Schools Look To Magnets To Close The Racial Gap - Charlotte Schools have a long history of dealing with segregation issues in public education.  While current testing standards focus on the ever-present racial gap, notable efforts to address the issue were first started in Charlotte Schools in 1969. The Civil Rights movement brought the inequalities in educational opportunities of children to the forefront with a 1971 US Supreme Court ruling that imposed a 30-year term of mandatory busing.  The effects of busing were immediate. Charlotte Schools achieved integration numbers that earned the district nationwide acclaim throughout the  70s and  80s.  Far from being the end of the story, parents of students in the Charlotte Schools had concerns. Many parents wanted the option to send their child to their neighborhood school, rather than having them ride an hour across town.

Charlotte Schools Encourage Parental Involvement

Charlotte Schools Encourage Parental Involvement - Charlotte Mecklenburg Schools know all about educating students. They know how to efficiently and effectively run a school system. They also know the importance of parental involvement. To that end, they have developed the slogan, “What a family DOES matters more than what a family HAS”. Recognizing the fact that a child’s first teacher is a parent, Charlotte Schools are working to communicate this belief to Charlotte Schools parents and to encourage them to get involved in their child’s education. It doesn’t really matter what a family has. Whether they are rich or poor or middle of the road, all that really matters is that they are all involved in each other’s lives. It doesn’t matter if there’s a TV in every room, or only one or even none; families that participate in activities together have children who learn better (notice I didn’t say that they are smarter), are more confident, and feel safe and content both at home and at scho...

Changing Weather Is Often A Result Of The Earth's Rotation

Changing Weather Is Often A Result Of The Earth's Rotation - Relentless interaction between the heat of the sun and the earth's atmosphere is behind weather development. When heating is not uniform all through a complex system of wind flows is generated. Air circulation produced by the atmosphere subjected to solar heat has three main forms.  The circulation of air near the tropics is called Hadley cells named after George Hadley, the scientist. Between 23.5 degrees latitude south and north, i.e., in the tropics the air rises having been heated. As it meets the tropopause it fans out while at about thirty degrees south and north a great part of this air drops back towards the ground. When it drops it removes air while to complete the cycle the removed air returns back towards the equator.  From thirty to sixty degrees north and south similar circulation known as Ferrel cells occur while in the polar regions polar Hadley cells flow. But a straight  north-south direction t...
