Alienation In Schools
Words: 537 - Pages: 2.... students into general and honor level courses. In my high school, we had three levels: general, college and honors.

Words: 975 - Pages: 4.... Many owners of a family business don’t do estate planning or strategy until it’s too late. Even when the owner tries to plan for the inevitable, he has minority shareholders or kids who don’t want to run the business. Every option for the owner has a downside. Selling usually means the owner must give up control. Going public often creates an orphan stock. Employee-stock-ownership plans can burden the CEO with "onerous regulatory-compliance issues," and leveraged recaps can load the firm with debt. Company owners come to firms such as Heritage Partners because they want to cash out but at the same time keep management c .....
