Increasing role at AVC

Increasing role somewhere without losing quality and integrity is very hard to do. With AVC we have both quality and integrity but we are just a little short on students. Once we get more students we will be able to generate more money, but once we get those students we have to have them stay and the only way is to have them get a good education.

As a school, I think that there should be changes so that we can increase the number of students while quality is still there. Once we get more students common sense will tell you that we need more teachers. Then the tuition has to be able to pay the salary of the teachers, while also paying the bills like utility and the requirements of the school. So saying this, as a school you have to be able to charge enough that we can pay the teachers and pay these bills but yet you have to have a price that is satisfying with the costumers.

Once you get all the numbers done you can start your business plan. You most likely have to raise the tuition to make the improvements on your school but you still have to make it reasonable for the customer. You have to be able to show that there kids will be getting a good Christian education. In our book Basic Economic Principles it goes over a subject that is called Consumer Sovereignty. This is when you sell a product that the costumer wants at the price they are willing to pay. I think this goes well in this because you obviously have what people want and they are willing to pay money you just have to find out how much money they want to spend on a good Christian education.


There is another subject that are book covers that deals good with this and it is Trade offs. It is crucial for AVC to not fall into this because we cant afford to. We cant trade off a better education for more people because in the long run it will hurt you. You want to be able to do both, have good numbers and have a staff that is great that will give a good education.

If you can find out this stuff, I believe that you are able to increase your students. Of course it will not be easy but I think over time you will see it slowly going up. The big thing is to not let your quality slip and I believe you will see a increase of students.

Is it Right?

Is it right to cheat to get into your dream college. I don't think so, it comes down to your moral values. Everyone is tempted to cheat in school or work at least one time in there life. It comes down to your better judgement to not do it. Is it okay if you use someone else's work to gain a higher grade or do you do it yourself and take the lower grade.

We see that even grown adults struggle with this temptation. Barack Obama fell into temptation when he used a guys named Deval Patricks speech as his own. Is this right? NO, absolutely not, it is cheating no matter how you look at it. He said that he "borrowed" a line from is friend Deval. But borrowed or not you have to give credit where credit is deserved and Barack did not. When people found this out they saw his true personality come out.

Something happened similar to this at a College in Virginia, where the professor gave the class a text book and gave them work out of it. A person in the class found the teachers version on line and used it for all the homework the professor gave them. He then shared it with almost all of his class mates. They caught him and the people that shared these answers. There was about 30 and they said they will give them a chance to leave before they are expelled from the school.

When you think of cheating you think of copying, but there are many different forms of cheating. Both of these people knew that Cheating was wrong and there would be consequence but they did it anyways. The one guy that cheated in Virginia has to face his family and friends and tell them what happen and that in its self is hard to do. And Barack has to face America knowing that he cheated. Plus it will hurt him in the presidential race.

All in all cheating is wrong and once a cheater always a cheater. Everyone struggles with this matter but some are very strong and they don't fall into this weakness and others are very weak and they cant stop cheating. So it is wrong to cheat but some people cant help themselves.
