Strategic Plan for a High School

Unformatted Sample Text from the Research Paper:
particular high school faces problems not unlike other high schools today. For example, there are discipline problems. This is again not unusual as society finds the present generation unruly and  this is a phenomenon that has been progressively getting worse over time. Bryson (1995) explains that in general, public institutions are changing a great deal and continue to face more  and more difficult challenges. This is particularly true of school systems today. With laws that prohibit corporal punishment, and schools worried about lawsuits in general, little discipline is doled out.  At times, there have been suggestions to put a child on Ritalin, and attempts to get diagnoses for children who are out of hand.

Another problem is overcrowding  and this seemingly cannot be helped. If budgets are voted down year after year, more teachers cannot be hired. The building may be too small.
