RJA #15b

I have learned a lot from this class. I have been able to find valuable researching tools. That I will use on all of my research papers. I also was able to get connected with blogger and also with some more accounts that I would never had known about if it wasn't for this class. I also feel that it should be more than one paper because,I still was unclear on how to site some of my resources and I think that if I would have had more practice than I would have more confidence when I write my next paper. This class was a lot better than my Eng 121. I have come away from this class knowing that I can write a good paper.

RJA #13b

This is one of my resources, it is a book.

Edward B. Fiske. _Smart Schools, Smart Kids_. New York: Simon and Schuster, 1991.

This book is about why some school work and others don't. This book talks about how a public school can be changed and how the schools should hold the teachers accountable as well as, the principals. This is a good resource.
Here is another one of my resources it is also a book.
John A. Stormer. _None Dare Call it Education_. Florissant, MO: Liberty Bell Press, 1999. This book is about the public school system. This book is for private schools and against public schools. Has a lot of information regarding public schools and is a good resource. This is another one of my resources it is a website.
Robert Kennedy. "Private and Public Schools Compared." goggle. 29 November 2009. .
This website compares private and public schools and how the differ. Some of the other things that are compared are the class sizes and where the money goes in the different schools. This is an OK resource.
Council for American Private Education. "Private Education." google.
My last resource is also a website.
. This website is for private schools and has a lot of information on the tests scores of private schools and public school. This is a good resources for graphs.

I did a survey for my research paper. Here are some of the question that I asked.

1. Have you ever went to private school?

2. Has any of your children attended private school? For how long?

3. If money was not an issue would you consider private schooling for your children?

4. In your opinion is private school better or public school?

I got mixed answers on these questions. Most of the people surveyed seemed to be more for public schools than private ones.

These are the things that I have accomplished so far on my paper

* I have completed all of my research on my topic

* I have started my introduction

* I have my thesis statement and I'm happy with it.

These are the thing that I still need to do-

* I need to decide which argument I'm going to make

* I need to start writing my paper

* I need to check my resources and make sure that I have the required amount of resources. I plan to get most of this done this week to the end of next week.
