The Importance of School Repair and Maintenance in Making a Better Learning Environment

The Importance of School Repair and Maintenance in Making a Better Learning Environment

The school is our second home. We spend almost half of our waking hours inside the school when we were still students. On average, we spend a third of our lifetime inside the walls of the classroom. Just as our upbringing have a lot to do with how we live our lives, our school and education also has a deep impact on how we view the world.

However, just as we are tested by time and circumstances, bringing the best and the worst in all of us, time can also take its toll on the classrooms, the hall ways, the cafeteria, the gymnasium, and other school buildings which brings back fond and not-so-fond memories.

Should College Athletes Be Paid?

Should College Athletes Be Paid?

College sports bring in big dollars every year on the major college level. These programs bring $30 and sometimes $40 million dollars per year to the universities and colleges and the players get nothing. These are the same players who are breaking their backs for the university day in and day out and can’t get a share of that money and, to me, that does not seem fair. I know what you may be thinking: that these student athletes are getting a free education or have gotten a scholarship to play ball at that university. To me, that’s the least they could be doing.

When I look at college football on Saturdays and see packed stadiums with cheering fans paying big money for a ticket I say, what business out there could run a company and not pay its workers? You would think I was talking about some Third World … Read more
