Academic Achievement of Elementary Students: A Comparison Study of Student Athletes Versus Nonathletes

The place of sports in academic institutions has been analyzed at length for several years. However most studies focus on the participation of high school and university students in school sports. Very little research exists to suggest a positive or negative correlation between academic achievement and participation in interscholastic sports at the elementary level. As a result the relationship between academic performance and participation in school sports among elementary students in grades 4 and 5 was investigated in this study. Through an independent-samples t test analysis of 1,605 fourth and fifth grade boys and girls, it was determined that students who participated in school sports were likely to have higher standardized test scores in both reading and math as measured by the Tennessee Comprehensive Assessment Program. This was true of both male and female students. Additionally students of African-American, Asian, and Latino ethnicity who participated in interscholastic athletics also performed significantly higher on standardized tests than did their peers who did not participate in school sports. However it was determined that no significant relationship existed between participation in school sports and attendance at the elementary level. The results of this study suggest that there exists a positive relationship between interscholastic sports participation and academic achievement

Gender and Class in George Bernard Shaw\u27s Pygmalion

George Bernard Shaw’s play Pygmalion depicts a young flower girl’s linguistic and sartorial transformation into a fake duchess under the tutelage of a well-off phonetician. Eliza Doolittle’s and Henry Higgins’s clashing personalities and humorous misunderstandings however point to wider societal forces – that of gender and class. The circumstances of their meeting and their initial interactions serve as clear illustrations of their disparate levels of education, sophistication and social capital. Eliza Doolittle’s position as a young working-class woman makes her uniquely vulnerable to exploitation at the hands of middle-class men, and while Shaw does not frame Higgins as predatory, he nevertheless emphasizes Eliza’s anxieties and worries. Even though Higgins’s clear lack of interest or ill-intent enables the readers to laugh at Eliza’s fear for her virtue, as her transformation progresses, the untenability of her new social position becomes glaringly obvious. Higgins may have corrected Eliza’s speech and provided her with fashionable clothes, but he has no interest in concerning himself with her future, now that she is too genteel to work as a flower girl, but too poor to truly ascend to a higher class. This lack of consideration for Eliza’s prospects can be interpreted as a sign of Higgins’s uncaring character, but is also a symptom of wider societal obstacles facing women trying to find their place in the world. Eliza manages to triumph and carve a space for herself by integrating her two identities, in the end thriving as an amalgam of the duchess Higgins presented her as and the flower girl she once was

Like Mark Twain: The Death of Academic Law Libraries Is an Exaggeration

At the 2013 CALI Conference on Law School Computing, Professor James Milles, professor and former library director of the SUNY Buffalo Law School, presented his draft paper positing that academic law libraries are doomed. The author presented his contrasting viewpoints in the same session. This paper is based on his presentation and has been updated to account for adoption of the revised law school accreditation standards approved by the ABA Council on Legal Education and Admissions to the Bar in 2014. While the author agrees with the underlying observations set out by Professor Milles, he envisions a scenario where law libraries, and more importantly librarians, remain an essential part of law school life
