As a member of the Senate Health, Education, Labor and Pensions Committee and the Subcommittee on Children and Families, I was one of the key negotiators of The No Child Left Behind Act (NCLBA), the comprehensive overhaul of our nation’s elementary and secondary education policy that made New York schools more accountable to New York’s families. And today I am holding the Administration accountable for not providing the resources that it promised to allow the landmark law to succeed. \n\n\n\nI will continue to work tirelessly to support early childhood education, improve teacher training, lower class size, eliminate environmental hazards in schools, make college affordable and accessible, reward innovations in education, and protect the programs that work for all of New York’s children. Read on to learn more.\n\n\n\nEarly Childhood Education\n For almost 40 years, Head Start has helped prepare children to succeed in school by empowering their parents and providing comprehensive services that address all the barriers children in poverty face. Today, almost 50,000 of New York’s lowest-income families benefit from the educational, health, mental health, dental, nutritional, and parent involvement services provided by Head Start. more»\n\n\n\nElementary and Secondary Education\n When the No Child Left Behind Act (NCLBA) was enacted, I viewed it as a historic promise between the federal government and educators – schools would be held to higher standards than ever before and the government would make a record investment in those schools to ensure that they would be able to meet the new expectations confronting them. Today, that promise has been broken. President Bush’s budget for 2006 provides $12 billion less than was promised by the No Child Left Behind Act, including $947.5 million less for New York. more»\n\n\n\nSpecial Education\n I co-sponsored the Individuals with Disabilities in Education Improvement Act, which was signed into law on December 3, 2004. This bill will strengthen the IDEA by improving access to professional development for all teachers, expanding monitoring and enforcement mechanisms, resolving disputes equitably, improving students’ transitions from high school to adulthood, and involving parents more thoroughly in the education of their children. more»\n\n\n\nHigher Education\n Each additional year of post-secondary education increases a person’s income by 5 to 15%. Over a lifetime, a person with a college degree will earn close to $1 million more than those who only have a high school diploma. more»\n\n\n\nNational and Community Service\n I have been a consistent supporter of Americorps.  In the 107th Congress, I introduced legislation to increase opportunities to serve in AmeriCorps for individuals aging out of foster care. I co-sponsored legislation to support schools that provide service learning opportunities to elementary and secondary students. And Ifought for an emergency appropriation of funds when AmeriCorps was in danger of being cut by close to 70 percent. I will continue to advocate for strengthening AmeriCorps and for continuing the federal investment in this important program.

Here is how to write a memorandum of law.\n\n1.         Look at a sample memorandum or several sample memoranda of law. They will give you an idea. Every opinion of the Supreme Court is a memorandum of law. Here is a link to an opinion of the Supreme Court: http://www.circuitlawyer.8m.com/griffin.html You can do a Google search to find a memorandum of law on the subject that you desire. This will save you from re-inventing the wheel. I have some sample memoranda of law that I wrote. \n\n            a.         There are more than 100 winning briefs linked to this following page: http://www.circuitlawyer.8m.com/traffic.html \n\n            b.         Here is a fat memorandum of law that took me a year to write: http://www.lawyerdude.8m.com/Lsdbrief.html \n\n            c.          Here are some of my briefs: http://www.lawyerdude.8k.com/right2drive.html \n\n \n\n2.         Write like you are talking to your Uncle Bob. Explain in simple words what happened to you and what the law is and what you want the court to do.\n\n \n\n3.         Optional: For advanced computer users. Somewhere on the front page give a web address for this brief that you are writing. This will permit people to upgrade from paper to a page on their screen. From the web version they will be able to make the hyperlinks work.\n\n \n\n4.         Write the statement of law that you want to prove: Example: “I was entitled to effective assistance of counsel. The court denied me effective assistance of counsel. The remedy for this denial is dismissal. I am entitled to dismissal in this case.”\n\n \n\n5.         Try to disassemble your point into subdivisions. Example: In the above statement of law there are several subdivisions:\n\n            a.         I was entitled to effective assistance.\n\n            b.         The remedy is dismissal.\n\n            c.          I am entitled to dismissal.\n\n \n\n6.         You will be able to divide each point into further subdivisions.\n\n \n\n7.         Now comes the heart of this work: You must find cases, statutes, rules, and constitutional provisions to support your points. If this is a criminal case then I can help you. The top 143 most important criminal cases are here at this list: http://www.circuitlawyer.8m.com/weinreb.html \n\n \n\n8.         When you find a case to support your point, then extract the key sentence and insert it into the brief. Change the margins to 2 inches and 2 inches. This alerts the reading eye that you have a quotation from a case or statute. This is called “setting off” the quoted phrase.\n\n \n\n9.         This following part is new - and optional: You will notice that I generally provide a hyperlink to the case or statute on the internet. This saves time for the reader - and you. “But, aha!” you say. “From the paper copy nobody can use the hyperlink! So why insert one?” My answer: If you have uploaded your brief to the internet, then your reader can download your brief to his computer and he will use the internet version - where the hyperlinks work. Nobody will read your brief more than you will. You may as well learn to hyperlink and save yourself time in the long run - and thereby increase the odds that the judge will read your brief. Within your brief provide a link to each case that you cite as referrence. Better yet: Link to the pertinent sentence in the Supreme Court case that you are citing in your brief.\n\n \n\n10.       Weave the facts and the law.\n\n            a.         Quote the facts from a transcript if possible.\n\n            b.         If you don’t have a transcript then write a declaration of facts. This is one part of a motion. See Motion 101: http://www.lawyerdude.netfirms.com/6025.html \n\n \n\n11.       It may sound silly, but sometimes the quotation in a case will say exactly what you want to say. In that case. Make your point. Then follow it with the exact quotation from the case. Of course, the quotation will be set off with margins of left

Probably not.  Most schools send out letters all at once. Good luck!

It is a simple form that you, your parents, and your employer need to fill out and sign.  You can go to your school district's office, your school office, your counselor to get the form.  In my area, it is basically an agreement that the employer will follow the labor laws concerning minors, and states your parents will allow you to work, and that you recognize the school takes priority over work.

High school basketball players, football players, etc. all have to sign letters of intent to the schools they plan to attend. These letters state that a certain player will attend a certain school and play a certain sport for the school.

Such discipline records are not generally sent. If you need a school recommendation from a teacher, that could be diffficult...it you are a chronic problem. Grades are usually the only factor...and money of course.

lol. no there are absoulutley no laws about teachers making students not eat in school because they kept them in at lunch time. but there's a first time for everything. maybe if you took a test or quiz that day after lunchtime you could complain you didnt do well b/c u were too hungry and its proven that brains arent active when theres not food to digest and go to court. It could go to the Supreme Court b/c its a good argument and you'd be a hero for all students across the U.S

Not so brief, but it sums it up I think. =-)\n\nEngel v. Vitale, 370 U.S. 421 (1962) was a landmark United States Supreme Court case that determined that it is unconstitutional for state officials to compose an official school prayer and require its recitation in public schools, even when it is relatively non-denominational and students may excuse themselves from participation. This was decided in a vote of 6-1, with Justices Frankfurter and White unable to vote.\n\nThe case was brought by the parents of students who complained the prayer to "Almighty God" contradicted their religious beliefs and was supported by groups opposed to the school prayer including Madalyn Murray O'Hair's American Atheists . The prayer in question was:\n\n    Almighty God, we acknowledge our dependence upon Thee, and we beg Thy blessings upon us, our parents, our teachers and our country. Amen.\n\nThe plaintiffs argued that opening the school day with such a prayer (even if students are not required to recite it) violates the Establishment Clause of the First Amendment to the United States Constitution (as applied to the states through the Fourteenth), which says, "Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion." The governments of twenty-two states1 signed on to an amicus curiae brief urging affirmance of the New York Court of Appeals decision that upheld the constitutionality of the prayer. The American Ethical Union, the American Jewish Committee, and the Synagogue Council of America each submitted briefs urging the Court to instead reverse and rule that the prayer was unconstitutional.\n\nJustice Hugo Black, writing for the majority, pointed out that the prayer is a religious activity by the very nature of its being a prayer. The majority further ruled that prescribing such a religious activity for school children is inconsistent with the Establishment Clause. That is, the program was created by government officials to promote a religious belief and therefore not permissible.\n\nIn response to the defendant's claims that: (a) the prayer does not respect any specific established religion; and (b) the prayer is voluntary, Black's opinion held that neither of these claims frees it from contradicting the Establishment Clause. The opinion held that the fact that it promotes a religion is sufficient to conclude it is in violation, even if that promotion is not coercive. Furthermore, the opinion held that the fact that the prayer is vaguely worded enough to not promote any particular religion is not a sufficient defense, as it does still promote a family of religions (those that recognize "Almighty God"), which is also a violation of the Establishment Clause.

I don't think there are any laws against letter writing.  As long as your not abusive, or do anything that can be construed as harassment you should be alright.  \n\nChances are that if a kid exhibit's poor behavior, the parents won't care anyway.
