TARGET->SEC->Contemporary research topics

[NHS Webmaster <nhswebmaster@COLLIER.K12.FL.US>]

First, you must know that tomorrow I am meeting with the President of a
major provider of information databases to schools and universities.

That given, and if you are willing to share, I told him the strengths
and weaknesses of several existing databases designed for high school
students.

I gave him my analysis of existing databases and expressed a concern
that many of them do not address issues that are directly related to
students and do not provide the background information necessary to form
an opinion.

Such as:
Affirmative action in college admissions
The Patriot Act
Steroid use at the high school level
Ecstacy use at the high school level
School start-up times for high school students
Block Scheduling
Hip-hop and rap music lyrics
Confederate symbols

It is up to you to provide me with topics that you have found that are
hard to provide with reliable data from commercial databases.

If you are willing to share "hot topics" which are not covered in
existing databases, I will pass them along. Please note that I will
receive a free lunch in renumeration, although I resisted it as I am too
busy. Wow!
