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?

Discontinuity between the family, school, and community spheres of influence can easily create confusion and stress in young children. Ideally, a teacher is able to analyze family situations and identify internal and external environmental factors that may affect the learning outcomes. These spheres of influence can relate to family and cultural backgrounds, politics, economics, and social influences. Should these influences be found to be out of alignment or in disarray, the teacher can often be a conduit for sharing information and bridging the gaps between them.
After reading the “Case Study” about Joshua and Ben, identify resources such as community centers, local agencies, and national agencies that might help support the needs of these children and their families, as well as those that might help you, the teacher, learn more about the cultures of Ben and Joshua.
Based on your research, create a 250-500 word informative handout for each student’s family that includes the following:
A brief analysis of the misalignment between family, school, and community spheres of influence and the negative effect this misalignment can have on the student’s learning outcomes. Support your analysis with at least two scholarly resources.
At least 3-5 resources that can assist you in learning more about the cultural backgrounds of Ben and Joshua’s families, and what you hope to learn from each of these resources.

Education, Finance, Health Care
- Choose a business of your choice (fictional or existing). (It can be within Education, Finance, Health Care, Retail, etc.) and create a database for it.
- Create a database for your business with at least 5 Tables (EX. a Student Database, could the following tables Student, Course, Instructor, CourseGrade, CourseLocation (meaning online or onsite))
- What is the Purpose of the database?
- Who is the user(s) of the database? (customers, students, nurses, patients, etc.)
- Why is the DB needed? What is its purpose?
- Where is the database located? What is its physical and logical location
- Where will the database be hosted? (server, cloud, etc.)
a. Why is it hosted there? (Provide advantages and disadvantages) - Provide the table fields and characteristics (ex. Student_ID 8 alphanumeric characters)
- Create an excel spreadsheet with five (5) records for each table (please designate one attribute or field in each table as the primary key)
Ex. TABLE Student
“Student_Id” int Primary Key,
“Studen_tName” varchar(60),
“RollId” varchar(10),
“Student_Email” varchar(125),
“Student Gender” varchar(10), “Student DOB” varchar(10),
“Student_Address” varchar(125),
“Student_Phone” varchar(10), - Create an ERD for the tables
Write an SQL statement for each item below for your database. - Write a SQL statement to create the tables below. Create Tables – In week 1, Lab 3, we created tables. (Found in the weekly readings in section 6.1.1 Creating a Table)
- Write a SQL statement to INSERT a record into your database table.(HINT: use the INSERT command) See section 6.4.1 in the online textbook. (Part of the readings for each week)
- Write an SQL statement to retrieve a record from a table from your database: (Hint: use the SELECT statement found in section 6.3 in your weekly reading)
- Write an SQL statement to update an existing record in your table (See section 6.4.3 from the weekly readings)
- Write a DELETE statement to delete all records for one (student, patient, customer, etc.) from your database (See section 6.4.2 from the weekly readings)

Education
Is education a public good? Does education have external benefits? If so, what are some of those public benefits? In your opinion are the external benefits large or small? Why? What should government do to promote the efficient provision of products that have external benefits? If you think that government should put more resources into education, what might be some of the opportunity costs of that decision? How would an economist determine the right amount of government support for education?
