Are teachers the cause of indiscipline in schools.<br>​
Aleks04 [339]

Answer:

Teachers are partly guilty for the way the children behave in schools. They don't have enough patience with the students and when the problem could be deeper than misbehaving like an issue happening at home, they tend to brush it off as attention seeking. Sometimes the roots of the problem is not always at the surface yet deep within someone. Although my answer is biased, I would have to also agree some students get bored too easily and aren't interested in the class/ subject enough to sit and pay attention. An easy solution would be making a class that gets students more involved or activities in which the students can participate with each other.

Give a speech that takes a clear stand about the Vietnam Veterans Memorial. Instead of just giving information about the memoria
SpyIntel [72]

Vietnam Veterans Memorial is a monument of 8000 square meters. It honors the members of the US Army who have died and are missing. Construction and manufacture was the cause of the controversy, which led to an additional construction. The memorial wall that was the cause of the controversy was designed by architect Maya Lin. The problem would be that the wall is black and without ornaments, then, it was lacking in resolving the national conflict over the war. It did not reflect the real circumstances that would speak about conflicting opinions about the war, as well as the minimalist design of the monument that diminishes the value of sacrifice of US soldiers. Some officials, among whom the most vocal were James Webb and H. Ross Perot, called it "the black wall of shame," "slapping in the face of those who served." At first they were supporters of Maya Lin's design, but later they became opponents seeing how the design looks. They also called it a "Nihilistic stone slab". Their claims were supported by the fact that Maya Lin is a young Asian student, and as such is not qualified to design such a monument.
