I considered myself to be an anomaly of a high school student. Being a Latino Student, the odds were not in my favor that I was enrolled at a four-year institution. Furthermore, I differed greatly from tradition Latino students as I was 4th generation college student. I came from a college educated Latino family. Although most of my family was educated in Peru, many have since immigrated to the United States acquiring jobs that utilize their foreign college degrees. I attended a private…

Ever since I can remember, there were always sitcoms on Disney Channel, Nickelodeon, and ABC Family that portrayed high school students as being adults who were mature for their ages and completely independent of their parents. Some of my favorite examples are Kim Possible, That’s So Raven, House of Anubis, and Degrassi—all of which have the basic story line of teens trying to find their places in the world. They have similar character designs, in that each person is rarely subjected to their…

No Schools in Canada should be privatized Majority of the schools in Canada are public, but there is a portion of schools that are private. An advantage to private schools is that the class sizes are smaller (cisontario.ca), but there are a lot more disadvantages to private school than there are advantages.

Julia is a senior at North Yarmouth Academy, and she is from Woolwich,…

In Community Losses: The Cost of Education Reform, Susan DeJarnatt (2014), explores the concept of education as public good versus a private good in Philadelphia. She examines the current treeatment of public education as a private good, and opines that the current themes of privitization, school choice, and accountability metrics by standardized high stakes testing, fails to incorporate the “democratic equality” (DeJarnatt, 2014). She paraphrases Diane Ravitch, that the focus on education as…

The major goal for home schooling was for their children to learn in a safe, comfortable environment. The children do not have to deal with peer pressure but in a lot of aspects they do loose on the socialization that school has to offer. One parent made it clear to me that because it is home school does not mean it is in any way easier. They are pushed hard and if not hared then public school students. As far as a daily curriculum goes it is up to the parents or person teaching how they want to…
