Pew Research Center, 2019
Religion in public schools has long been a controversial issue. The U.S. Supreme Court ruled in 1962 that teachers and administrators cannot lead prayers in public schools, and a decision in 2000 barred school districts from sponsoring student-led prayers at football games. At the same time, the court has held that students retain a First…

Clegg, Sheri Lynn – ProQuest LLC, 2014

Scheitle, Christopher P.; Ecklund, Elaine Howard – Journal of Career Development, 2017
Apparent conflicts between religion and science are often observed in the United States. One consequence of such conflicts might be that religious individuals will be less likely to recommend their children pursue a career in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM). We examine this possibility using a nationally representative…

Ryan, David – Journal of Research in Special Educational Needs, 2016
For many years educational practitioners have tended to focus on issues within the child for the causes of special educational needs and or disabilities.

Should babies sleep alone in cribs, or in bed with parents? Is talking to babies useful, or a waste of time?
