The purpose of this essay is to determine your ability to locate and analyze information on a Senate committee.
You are to find the home page of the Senate Committee on Health, Education, Labor, & Pensions.
Once you’re on the committee’s home page, you’ll want to print out a roster of the members of the committee. You’ll also want to get a print out of information on any bill the committee is working on– you can usually get this by looking at the Schedule section of the committee’s Web page. Remember, you must get these copies without the assistance of any other student (a librarian may assist you)– getting copies from another student is a form of plagiarism, and can lead to disciplinary action from the Dean.
You are to write a 250-word essay on the printouts. Your essay must include a summary of what the committee does (in your own words), a summary of who sits on the committee (not a list, but a description– breakdown by party, total number of members, etc. Also, remember that the chairman of the committee is a member– be sure to count him in the total number of members). In addition, it must include a summary of any bill the committee is working on– what does the bill do, etc.– and an analysis of the political realities of the bill that describe, in your opinion, whether or not the bill will pass, and why. Remember– the bill you’re writing about hasn’t been voted on yet. If it’s already been voted on, you have to find another bill. If you write on a bill that’s already been voted on, your paper will earn no credit.
Your opinion should include at least two concepts from class, and should address some of the political realities of government. The bill may be a good idea, but is it important enough to be one of the few bills Congress acts on? Which of the political parties supports or opposes the bill, and what role might that play in the passage of the bill? Is this a bill the President supports?

Schools always seem to be at the short end of the political stick when it comes to funding. State tax dollars are the principal means of funding schools, yet it would be very unpopular for politicians to suggest raising taxes even if schools are underfunded.
Some suggest that it would be better to fund schools locally through local taxes. Others say it would be more efficient if we privatized schools as the charter school movement suggests. Still, others suggest that if we offer extra dollars to schools that perform well on the FCAT then that will get everyone to be more successful with the funds they have and to compete for additional merit funds.
What do you think is the best remedy for the difficult question of how best to provide schools with sufficient funds to do a good job?
