The Austrian School is a school of economic thought which rejects opposing economists' reliance on methods used in natural science for the study of human action and relationships through logic (or praxeology).
The school originated in Vienna and owes its name to members of the Historical School of economics who during the Methodenstreit, where the Austrians defended the reliance that classical economists placed on logic over observation.
Austrian economists developed a sense of themselves as a school distinct from neoclassical economics during the economic calculation debate, with Ludwig von Mises and Friedrich von Hayek representing the Austrian position, where they contended that without monetary prices or private property meaningful economic calculation was impossible.

 Hard Lessons in School Security   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-07)
Even when a school or district has a security director, he or she may find it difficult to supervise staff effectively, because building principals and other educational administrators are typically given direct authority and control of on-site security personnel.
This problem is further complicated by the fact that school districts are notorious for allowing employees who commit crimes or unethical acts to resign or retire from their district to avoid public embarrassment to the district.
School security must be organized, structured, funded, supported, and accepted as a professional support service, just as school law, finance, business, transportation, student services, and related departments have been.

 Dvaita - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Dvaita, a school of Vedanta (the most widespread Hindu theology), made popular by Shri Madhvacharya, stresses strict distinction between God (expressed as Vishnu) and souls.

 Stoicism - a School of thought   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-07)
Later, the monist Parmenides of Elea stressed the power of reason and thought, whereas Heracleitus of Ephesus, precursor of the philosophy of becoming, had alluded to the constancy of change and the omnipresence of divine fire, which illumined all things.
Of the several schools of philosophy stemming from Socrates, the Cynic and Megarian schools were influential in the early development of Stoic doctrine: the Cynics for their emphasis on the simple life, unadorned and free of emotional involvement; and the Megarians for their study of dialectic, logical form, and paradoxes.
The third head of the school, Chrysippus of Soli, who lived to the end of the 3rd century, was perhaps the greatest and certainly the most productive of the early Stoics.

 A Rich and Fruitful School of Thought
At the same time, the schools of thought established by the Prophets give positive answer to the human being's profoundly felt need for freedom, and thereby break all the inner chains that fetter the human being's capacities, energies and will, and transform his vitality into stagnation.
One of the distinguishing characteristics of the school of thought founded by the Prophets is that according to their teachings, the interests of society also benefit the interests of the individual, because the life of the human being never terminates, his interests being ensured by a long line that continued after his death.
In the Divine school of thought, it is faith, the symbol of the human being's intellectual ascent, which functions as a powerful support for ensuring the implementation of the law.

 Bahai News - A New School of Thought
In some cases, school conversions do not require changing the form of the original building, such as the religious classrooms in the landmark Wilshire Temple in the Mid-Wilshire area, which have become a middle school for Camino Nuevo.
At the Bahai Temple in Baldwin Hills, New Roads School persuaded the congregation to build a new wing to serve as both a middle school and a new social hall for the temple.

 Critical examination of the school of thought known as New Thought.   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-07)
The closest that an official New Thought aficionada came to Hitler's fascism was Ayn Rand, a proponent of overt New Thought social selfishness.
The members of New Thought, whether of the religious or secular variety, while deluding themselves that they have more power, are actually castrated automatons, having lost the power of thought, and having lost the strength of will to resist the dehumanizing and crippling disease of their faith.
Authentic positive thought acknowledges the injustice and indignity of a world gone mad, then it works toward recreating the world toward its true dignified potentiality; for the key to authentic enlightenment is not selfishness, nor ironic mental castration, but dignity for one and all, as well as dignity for the environment.

 Is Vedanta a School of Thought?
A school of thought is always the contention of a given person or persons.
This inclusion is not justified because, unlike a school of thought, Vedanta is not within the realm of speculation.

The schools in these disciplines provide specific training along what are generally well established lines, bringing the student to the point where she may, in most of the cases, pass a standardized examination, such as the bar exam or the medical boards.
In fact, one of the challenges of life after graduate school is to keep on top of the ever-changing scholarship in one's field when one doesn't have the concentrated time to do this that one does in graduate school.
Students may (so to speak) wander into graduate school in a specific discipline, take a year or two of courses (or more), and not be at all sure of the correctness of their choice.
