From the Paper
"Graduating middle school students are faced with some important decisions as they progress through their early academic careers and enter high school, and the decisions they make during this period in their lives may well affect their academic performance and professional careers later in life (Barrow, 2001). High school admissions counselors are in an excellent position to help these young learners make the right choice early on, but because resources are by definition scarce, many public high school admissions counselors are faced with some profound challenges in trying to deliver timely and effective guidance to these students because of the dynamic nature of the workforce and the changing definitions of what constitutes a quality education in the 21st century."

From the Paper
"I was born in Hong Kong. As a child, I had traveled to many counties throughout the world such as Thailand, Malaysia, Japan and the United States, but my visits had been to mostly to popular tourist destinations. For example, in the United States, I visited Disneyland, Disney World, the World Trade Center, Sears Tower and the Statue of Liberty. Based on these trips, I had always thought that America was very similar to Hong Kong; America just had different looking people who spoke another language. My perception was also influenced by my ethnocentrism. Because Hong Kong is a very small, homogenous city, I assumed that all of America was just like New York. "

Abstract
The paper explains the "Parents Involved In Community Schools V. Seattle School District" lawsuit when parents of students who were denied admission to schools of their choice due to their race sued the District, arguing that their policy of racial tiebreaker violated the Fourteenth Amendment guarantee of equal protection. The paper discusses the majority decision and maintains that it is an accurate reflection of the recent swing in the US Supreme Court towards conservatism. The paper does point out, however, that Justice Kennedy's separate opinion keeps the door partially open for public schools to consider race for ensuring equal educational opportunity in certain circumstances.
Outline:
Background
Facts of the Case
Questions Before the Supreme Court
Decision
The Conservative and Liberal Aspects of the Decision
Conclusion
From the Paper
"The Seattle School District had adopted a system of 'tiebreakers' to decide admissions in schools that were oversubscribed. An important tiebreaker was a racial factor intended to maintain racial diversity. The system sometimes prevented students from gaining admission to schools of their first choice due to their race, if the racial demographics of a school deviated substantially from the overall white to non-white ratio of Seattle's total student population."

"Drinking the milk that I had personally obtained through demanding efforts, including awakening in the pitch-dark hours of the pre-dawn morning only to be splattered with cows' urine while milking and shoveling cows' excrement, was the most memorable experience I had at the Putney School in Vermont. Although this unglamorous incident may not be something that students from the third leading country, in terms of foreign students' nations of origin, would want to endure, it has taught me valuable lessons that I could not have learned at a large, more impersonal prep school. My experiences taught me firsthand the dramatic importance of personal effort in the route to success, and how to complement my academic schedule with my extracurricular activities and social services."

Abstract
This paper discusses the concept of middle school reform. It specifically focuses on what a middle school is and what the original purpose of creating such an institution was. The paper looks at how the middle schools were created to meet the unique needs of young people who are neither young children nor sexually mature adolescents. The paper then looks at how teachers are often not specifically trained to meet the needs of the middle school students.
From the Paper
"Rather than standardized testing other theorists have also stressed the need for more rigorous certification of middle school teachers in specific subject areas, combined with a team-based approach to learning, so that students can learn to see interdisciplinary connections between math and science, for example, or literature and the arts. Having more than one teacher teach classes solves the problem of striking a balance of a close classroom environment and creating a high school-like atmosphere where different teachers for different subjects (Clark & Clark, 1993). Team teaching is ideal to keep the holistic approach that is characteristic of elementary school and to prepare students for the segmented days of junior and senior high. Varied instruction techniques to help with transitioning to high school and the diversity of educational methodologies employed by different teachers, and allowing students to explore personal interests are all important in creating a positive attitude towards learning and school (Clark, 1993)."

Abstract
The paper analyzes the article ?Person-Centered Counseling: The Culture? by Ann Shanks Glauser and Jerold Bozarth which explores the conditions that are necessary for successful counseling and focuses especially on the specialty of multicultural counseling. It discusses the argument that person-centered counselling is at the very heart of success in counseling and that the relationship between the client and counselor and the client?s situational and personal resources are the essential variables that determine its success. It provides statistical evidence for the relative unimportance of counseling technique noting that only 15% of the success variance of the counseling relationship comes from technique whereas 30% of the success variance comes from the client-counsellor relationship and an impressive 40% comes from extratherapeutic variables or chance occurrences. It explores the variables of the client-therapist relationship and the extratherapeutic variables of the client and concludes that the article is well-researched and internally consistent.
From the Paper
"The authors then go on to explore the variables of the client-therapist relationship and the extratherapeutic variables of the client. They note that ?most theories consider the (client-therapist) relationship as critical?. A successful relationship is defined by the counselor?s empathy for the client, seen in his or her genuineness with the client, and the counselor?s true respect and value for the client. Glauser and Bazarth note, ?Making judgments about people\'s humanity and its quality due to established criteria is to rely on tired but extremely powerful discourses steeped in oppression.?"

"Moreover, according to Leibert's and his colleagues' findings, the foremost benefit to patients why online counseling appeals to them is the preservation of their privacy and anonymity. This is especially true to people who are uncomfortable with the traditional method of therapy and are unable to acquire counseling services because of fear of revealing their identity. With online counseling, such kind of people is already able to get counseling service. Renee Gedge indicates that 91% of people with anxiety disorders prefer therapy served online.

Just by sitting in front of their computers and accessing online counseling services, they can still continue their therapeutic sessions."
