Abstract
The paper discusses what the point of school is. It analyzes issues of education, as well as that of teaching life and work skills for the children's adult life. The paper then goes on to suggest that school may simply be a way to keep the children off the streets. The paper then discusses the effects of the elementary schooling system on student leadership.
From the Paper
"The Effects of the Elementary Schooling System on Student Leadership in Ontario What is the point of school? Many people never stop to consider this question. However, a moment's consideration will show that it is a profound question, and that there are many possible answers. For example, perhaps the point of school is to educate children, perhaps it is to keep them off the streets so that their parents can go to work, or perhaps it is to teach them skills that will later enable them to go to work in their turn, when they grow up."

Abstract
This paper discusses that parental intervention in a child's education is important, irrespective of the parents' qualifications or financial status. The paper states that parental intervention in a child's education promotes growth of students and can be promoted by designing programs. The paper recommends that elementary school authorities should review the requirements of students in consultation with their parents and that parents should feel comfortable to communicate with the teachers. The paper concludes that parental involvement in elementary schools can be achieved only if it is legally mandatory and that governments should institute policies that call for equal participation of parents, teachers and elementary school authorities.
From the Paper
"Parental intervention in a child's education is important irrespective of the parent's qualification or financial status. Parental involvement promotes academic, emotional and social growth of students. It is beyond doubt that a child who dedicates more time for homework will perform well at school. A well completed homework enables a student to learn systematically. It will also reflect in the character of the child. Involvement in a child's home work enable parents to keep in pace with the lessons at school and know more about the performance of a child. This will also help them to communicate with their teacher in the case of poor performance or absence on a day. Other than homework, parents can teach children to spend their leisure time in a fruitful manner. They can advice children to engage in reading rather than spend time to watch television. Parental involvement in children's studies gives room for conversation. Parents can indulge in positive conversation by giving advice on good behavior and values which will evolve good character in a child. Parents can instill interest in a child's learning. Involvement of family in a child's learning thus influences the child's character and ability throughout life. The success of parent assisted children will be one step ahead of those who are deprived of it."

Abstract
This paper details the history, as well as the curriculum, of the McFadden Elementary School, near Nashville, TN. This particular school also provides a magnet program which is geared towards academic excellence, in addition to its standard curriculum program. The writer of this paper discusses the school's accelerated academic programs in the areas of reading, art, guidance, music and physical education. This paper also focuses on the academic benefits of this and other magnet programs. The benefit of this particular program is that it permits the students to go through the regular courses of study, while at the same time they obtain special experiences in the skills of written, oral and visual communications. This paper examines the school's goal of maintaining a high ratio of teachers to students. The writer delves into the various resources made available to this particular school. Each teacher at the McFadden school has an advanced multimedia center, as well as numerous computers stations available for the students. This paper also cites the results of an interview with an elementary school principal in California. This paper explores the difficulties in communication between parents and faculty, as detailed by the principal. This paper discusses the various problems facing the education system today, including the fact that schools are becoming more like businesses, where increasing efficiency is the top priority, above academic achievement.
From the Paper
"The matters which parents have to find out from the students are regarding their friends, and the reason why these other children have developed into friends, and at the same time whether the child considers that he is also a good friend in turn. The next question to be considered is the values that are being taught by the family. This is difficult for many parents to talk to children as their parents keep changing their priorities every day. That is for the comparatively poor students whereas the rich students really do not know what is important for the family. This has to be known to the child. The third serious matter today is regarding the use of drugs, and they have to be restricted to only prescription drugs. Along with this is the use of tobacco as children often see adults smoking outside, but they have to be told that this is not good for them. This has to be clearly told to them. The other problem that the parents have to inform the children is regarding the development from a child to an adult, and this does not happen overnight."

Abstract
This paper is a study of how students in elementary schools with widespread computer usage in the classroom exhibit improved motor skills, enhanced mathematical thinking, increased creativity and earn higher scores on tests that involve critical thinking skills and problem solving ability.
From the Paper
"Over the last few years, technology has advanced rapidly and there have been hundreds of published studies investigating its effect on education and indicating the benefit of a variety of technology-rich educational environments for learners. Some of the current literature supports the idea that a variety of technologies can be powerful components in accomplishing educational goals, particularly for elementary school students. Students are able to "develop a broad, deep, and creative understanding of community, culture, economics and international politics, past and present, and acquire the social skills to work across differences and distances" (Riel, 1993) by providing "an array of tools for acquiring information and for thinking and expression [allowing] more children more ways to enter the learning enterprise successfully.

Abstract
Attention Deficit Disorder (ADD) or Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) is a problem that affects both children and adults. It has, however, only recently been recognized as a serious problem impacting a significant minority of children. The paper shows that recent findings regarding the link between ADHD and psychosocial dimensions have led experts to believe that this disorder can be controlled successfully using specific methods of behavior management. The paper examines methods of helping ADHD children manage this disorder, focusing on elementary school age.
From the Paper
"The important thing to remember is that children with ADHD are not willfully disobedient. They are not intentionally disrupting the classroom, but struggling with a disorder that has certain manifestations. The best way to work with these children is to recognize that fact, accept it, and work with the children to help them learn how to manage their own behavior. It is not possible to control children from the outside, even with the use of drugs. Instead, the children must be engaged in the effort to change their behaviors to more effective and appropriate ones through techniques that allow them to gain gradual mastery (Kirby and Kirby, 1994)."

Abstract
This paper explores the connection between the elimination of physical education in many schools and the part played by the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA), which has responsibility for the national school lunch program. The author also points out that society has changed; children no longer walk to school or play at recess, and competitive team sports have left a lot of children behind. The paper cites that the food companies, having stepped in to bail out some school athletic programs that focus on competitive team sports, also have encouraged snacking on less nutritious, obesity-causing foods.

Conclusion
From the Paper
"A panel discussion reported in the Journal of Law, Medicine & Ethics contained information relevant to both nutrition and exercise vis a vis childhood obesity. One speaker noted that in 2001, Texas, an advertisement urged the return by law of PE to its school curricula. Another speaker noted a program called ?Girls on the Run,? which involved students in non-competitive games as a way to increase physical activity. And still another noted the connection between makers of non-nutritional foods and school sports; the manufacturers often contribute heavily to schools? coffers, with the money used for competitive team sports in which very few students participate. It recommended at least making fruits and other healthy choices available."

From the Paper
"The realm of technology includes the use of computers and software that incorporate interactive instructional formats, simulation approaches, and educational games. Many of these programs are designed to incorporate drill and practice sessions, teach problem solving skills through simulation, assist in verbal and written communication techniques, facilitate physical movement and mobility, as well as increase motivation and attention levels (Dorman, 1998). These processes have been found to be beneficial to the process of learning for all students, regardless of the presence of a disability."

Misbehavior in Elementary School Children, 2005.
This paper discusses misbehavior, or delinquent behavior, in elementary school children and approaches for corrective discipline.

Abstract
This paper describes misbehavior or delinquent behavior as talking back to parents, not respecting the property or rights of other individuals, refusing to do chores or do what a parent has asked and throwing temper tantrums or other types of fits to get their way. The author stresses that parents, who do not understand the underlying causes or the disciplinary problems of the misbehavior issue, will often not discipline the child correctly; if parents, teachers and others discipline children excessively, the negative behavior may be repressed and another new undesirable behavior may emerge. The paper stresses that the main purpose of disciplinary actions is not to punish children but rather to teach them; the best test is that the punishment conveys the idea that the behavior was unacceptable and the parent is not happy about being required to punish the child.
From the Paper
"Generally, parents that punish children more often than once a week may also need counseling for issues that relate to the strictness of the rules that they have or the overpunishment of children that may not deserve it. If parents reject their children or are cold to them the punishment that they make will often not be very effective. When sympathetic, caring, and loving parents punish their children the effect is often better. Love without discipline is harmful for children because they do not learn the boundaries that they need, but disciplining a child without love can also be very harmful because children then begin to feel that they are worthless and that their parents do not love or even like them."

From the Paper
"In recent years educators have increasingly acknowledged the significance of the role of motivation in enhancing students' academic performance.
