Does Participation in High School Varsity Sports Promote Academic Achievement?
We have designed a research project to test whether student participation in high school sports correlates with better academic achievement. A review of the literature supports this thesis. Our study will examine data obtained from members of tennis teams and baseball teams from two high schools in the New York Metropolitan area—one public and one private. The private school, Horace Mann in Riverdale, New York, is academically elite—requiring students to pass an exam for admission; the public school, Leonia High School in Bergen County, New Jersey, is academically diverse. We chose baseball and tennis because both are played in the spring, but the latter tends to attract a more academically accomplished student than the former. We will use a questionnaire supplemented by individual interviews to ask students if the demands of team sports promote better time-management, better fitness, and better mental acuity. These subjective findings will then be correlated with grades.The analysis of the data will provide important information for students, parents, coaches and guidance counselors in making decisions about the best use of student time and resources.

Abstract
Cambodia is the result of colonization, imperialism, conflicts in idealism, and nationalism. With instability being the foundation, a lack of efficient infrastructure in the government and economic sectors has risen. This is mainly due to a lack of proper education, corruption within the government, and the state of depravity the country was forced to build upon. Despite this, Cambodia has the potential to enter a rapid development stage that would propel and enable its economy to begin to enter the forefront of the global economy.
To begin, Cambodia currently is
not performing up to the same standards as its neighboring countries operating
at a much lower GDP despite possessing similar demographics and resources. The
subtle indication is that even a slight tweak in Cambodia’s mode of operation
could improve its efficiency and push its development forward. Another
comparison can be to the Far East countries – namely, Japan and Korea. Though
the two countries are small and appear to possess a limited amount of
resources, the two countries were able to restructure their private and
government sectors in a way that pushed them into the elite class of
international economics. Using the two countries as a model, there are similarities
that co-exist between them and Cambodia. The biggest is potential.
Despite its low unemployment
rate, high ODA, along with a relatively high real growth rate, it is unable to
translate that into a respectable GDP per capital per person despite its
overall GDP being at a solid level. This indicates that the economy is
incredibly top heavy meaning that most of its capital remains within the top
percentile that deal with its management and use skewing the GDP data in
regards to its per capital per person. Therefore, a slight change in
infrastructure, mainly regards to ODA, can help improve efficiency.

Abstract
A reason many countries in Southeast Asia have
not been able to keep up with the pace of globalization and industrialization
of the West is that fundamentally, they are not equipped to do so. The problem
runs much deeper than it seems. Cambodia, in particular, has had its growth
stagnated from the results of war and a system that does not foster talent or
enable growth. A primary reason for this is the lack of training and education
the youth receive. In fact, because of the lack and unavailability of
education, most of Cambodia’s youth grow up with no vision to succeed, but only
a goal to get by. This is a striking difference from Western culture that seeks
for its youth to take ownership of their success and to strive to reach the
top. This mental and systematic handicap prevents opportunities and hope. A
possibility to tackle this situation problem is to introduce this aspect of
Western culture in Cambodia. Western-educated youth, who wish to take ownership
of their education, will serve as volunteers and mentors in training and
developing programs that will help inspire their counterparts who do not have
access to these resources.
