Effects of Fixing Exchange Rates
[ send me this paper ]
A 3 page paper discussing the likely effects of a
developing South American nation establishing fixed exchange rates. With much of the world
clamoring for increased free trade, there remains a debate over just how beneficial free trade really
is. Protectionism is far less acceptable now than in the past, but there are indications that it would
like to return if those fully opposed do not persist in resisting it. An alternative has been to
suggest that national economies can be stabilized by imposing a fixed exchange rate, but
freely-floating currency is seen as being the desirable condition. Bibliography lists 1 source.

Effects Of Twenty-Five Year Retirement On Public Education
[ send me this paper ]
8 pages in length. The effect of twenty-five year retirement upon public education is wide and varied, both from a monetary point of view as well as from an academic one. Educators and administrators who have endured a quarter century within the educational system reside at both ends of the scale, in that there are those who, after serving twenty five years, are still capable of carrying out quality instruction; others, however, should have been removed from the system even before their first decade. The writer discusses what influence public education experiences regarding retirement at the twenty five year mark. Bibliography lists 6 sources.

Emerging Views on School Vouchers and School Choice
[ send me this paper ]
A 20 page paper discussing the steady gains being made in approval of the concept of using tax-funded vouchers for families to place their children in schools of their own choice, even private ones and even religious-based private schools. The goal is to improve true educational outcomes and to provide approaches to education that can work for all students, rather than only some percentage of them. Without the intrusion of crisis, there is little reason to change the status quo in any area, whether that area be business, personal relationships or public school structure. The voucher debate presents that crisis point from which public schools can begin to be truly reformed and lifted out from under the burden of bureaucracy. All can benefit, but none more than our children who deserve the best education we can provide. The current situation is far from the 'best,' a point on which supporters and opponents of vouchers can heartily agree. Bibliography lists 22 sources.
