about class size, as well as problems inside the classroom Teacher shortages and lack of funding mean that, in
many schools, one teacher is responsible for thirty or forty students The children are, therefore, deprived of the
attention they need Escalating classroom violence has also motivated some parents to remove their children
from school
Although there have been a lot of arguments for and against it, homeschooling in the U.S has become a
multi-million dollar industry, and it is growing bigger and bigger There are now plenty of websites, support groups,

obvious Flight attendants must work long, grueling hours without sleeps, whereas plumbers can be as highly
