Throughout my life i have been exposed to two different school systems, which has made me aware that people are the same wherever you go. There is always on person that you connect with and another that you can't stand, there's the girls that hate others, and girls who think every guy likes them. I've been in school since the age of three, i was made to go to an all girls school for four years. There was where it felt like the military; the school had very strict rules, you were not allowed to go to the bathroom during your lesson- you could only go on your break or lunch. We only had 2 minutes to get to our class, if we were late, we would get a 15 minute detention after school. If you got three or more detentions a week you would get an hour on friday. In detentions you were not allowed …show more content…
Skipping class was never heard of because it was impossible, there were always three teachers on call to walk the hallways, if you were found in the hallways you would get sent to iea- here in canada i ask the teacher if i could go for a walk and i can leave for more than 30 seconds. School in england was fully gates there was only one way in and out. Coming to canada the first school i was exposed to, was OT- the social class there was ridiculous, the amount of money students flew around was shocking. I was always brought up in a home to no waste money as all the money we had has been worked for. This is not the case at OT people had money to waste, so i switched to sta which is more of a diverse school. From the first week that i landed in canada i got a job; my first job was at tim hortons, and my second job which i am still working at is Longos, both these jobs have provided me skills to be a citizen and worker, i've been exposed to inequality in all schools and workplaces i've been

    Indian Boarding Schools Case Study

    a. What were the goals of the Indian boarding schools? Since the time of Thomas Jefferson, there has been an attempt to assimilate the Native American tribes into the European way of life. After the removal and resettlement of the eastern tribes to the Indian Territory day schools are set up to teach the children of the tribe the “right way” of living. This approach proves unsuccessful due to the children’s exposure to their parent’s and their tribe’s traditions at home.…

    Feminization Of High Schools In Toronto 1871-1930 Summary

    In Upper Canada, grammar schools were separate from common schools and they provided boys with a classical education to get them ready for universities and the public province. Girls being admitted into these schools became a problem because the purpose of these schools was not being satisfied since they were letting in a lot of young women. They came up with the Ontario School Act of 1871 to solve this problem. “It gave official sanction to the public secondary education of girls in the newly created high schools and collegiate institutions” (121). In Toronto, they also had a School Act of 1871, this made a change for…

    The Glass Castle Essay

    This was okay with me though, I am actually always up to meeting new people, so I didn’t have any issues going around meeting new people at all. I’m not really the shy type that won’t socialize and even though I had previously been homeschooled, for several years, before coming back here, I feel that I actually had better socialization skills than most of the people here which just goes to show that the stereotype of having to go to public school to learn socialization and also that people from public school are better socializers is completely false. Aside from meeting new people and the new building, it was a major adjustment having to get on a “regular” schedule of waking up at such an early hour every morning, having to go to school from 7:40am to 2:40am, and all the different classes that I was forced to take. Previously at online school, it wasn’t mandatory that you did every class every day, so I would actually chunk it up and do different classes each day, so it wouldn’t get too dreadful like it is here. All this school stuff though is relatable to when Jeannette was going to the different schools and locations and had to adjust to her surroundings, get to know people, and try to fit in the best that she could.…

    Franklin High School Narrative

    I can recall the days of arriving at school just as the bell rung. Morning prayers started at 8:05 on the dot every day. A loud screech-voiced over the P.A system welcoming students to a brand new day of high school. I would always hurry to the back of class not trying to grab the attention of my teachers. But they would always single me out and tell me to go grab a pass.…

    Socialization In Mean Girls

    After watching the film “Mean Girls”, there are some realistic aspects which can be applied to an actual high-school scenario. Though, most of the social context is purely based off of Hollywood creation, which allows for larger drama within and between cliques. Furthermore, there are many aspects which must be considered in comparing this fictional society to an actual high school scenario. This would include agents of socialization, social institutions, primary and secondary groups, and many other factors.…

    College Reflection

    As I came to college, my family and I anticipated I would be following a simple mold of a conscientious student. One that is highly focused in some limited number of long term goals. Don 't get me wrong, this only meant that I had high expectations out of my college education. For some people, this path leads them to great success. But, I slowly realized my vision of success needed to have stories from different roads and bridges, than just one simple path.…

    Residential Schools and their Effectiveness on Aboriginal People: As Canadian children today the thought of starting school excited us. We enjoy everything our school system has to offer. Native children many years ago were not excited when the thought of school rose in their mind. Residential schools were a school system set up by the canadian government and run by churches, having the objective of educating aboriginal children (Guerin, 2011, pg 2).…

    What's Holding Back American Teenagers By Laurence Steinberg Summary

    In an article titled “What’s Holding Back American Teenagers?” by author Laurence Steinberg, the claim is made that, “Our high schools are a disaster.” Steinberg begins by mentioning education policies which had recently come to the attention of Obama during his term as president. This involved two issues, the first being early-childhood education and the second being college accessibility; however, Steinberg’s article preferred to focus on a third issue: American high schools. Throughout the article, he continually reflected on research from organizations such as OECD, The National Assessment of Educational Progress, and The National Center for Education Statistics.…

    Analysis Of Sherman Alexie's Indian Education

    I attended a public school, Leyendecker Elementary. Those years were the years that shaped the person I am today. Being young and having a sponge for a brain, I was quick to quick up new concepts and ideas from my teachers and my peers. I remember distinctly being called fat and other names by this one student, who always denied allegations and claimed he was my friend. This doesn’t vary much from Alexie’s first grade year, since he was also bullied.…

    Summary Of Against School By John Gatto

    In “Against School,” John Gatto argues that the main purpose of public schools and the educational system in general is to produce a “manageable” populace. Gatto argues that the current educational system does this by slowly acclimating students into certain habits, confirming students to certain rules, and implementing a certain mindset into students that makes them respond well to authority. All of these things that Gatto argues adds up to make a system for training a complaint workforce. Firstly, schools achieve what Gatto states their purpose is by acclimating students to how factories are organized and what working in a factory is like. Secondary, schools also accomplish Gattos argument by restricting the class choices of students and…

    Lack Of Education In Canada Essay

    Canada 's current public education system is both flawed and lacking. Students are likely to focus more in a classroom with people of the same gender and age, as they are less prone to be distracted. From a first-hand experience with the baby boomer generation, millennia’s are growing up with the idea that if one goes to school, tries hard, and get good grades; one will graduate, go on to post-secondary and, ultimately be successful (“Rethinking Education”). If one does not desire to put the time and effort into school, then one will likely have the constant, unrelenting image of a failure in the back of his/her mind. There are various examples of children failing subjects every year, but the education system has been reluctant to change, to…

    Residential School System

    The Canadian Residential School System was brought into existence in the late 19th century in a final attempt ‘to get rid of the Indian problem”. In partner with various church organizations and groups, the federal government funded the institutions. The intent of the residential schooling system was to civilize the “savages” and to make them useful and law abiding members of society with strict rules and punishments for any misdeeds (Coliness 2009). Since children were more susceptible to influence and are typically easier to manipulate, they would be enrolled in these schools at very young ages. In the early decades, the system was managed loosely and without proper guidlines.…

    Personal Narrative: My Personal Experience With Anxiety

    I don’t usually like to write personal posts, but I’m making an exception this time around. I’ve dealt with anxiety and depression for a long time. I recall many nights spent as a kid not sleeping because of anxiety. I was never afraid of monsters under my bed, or of the dark. I was anxious over what school would bring the next day, how my future would turn out, and what my existence meant.…

    School's Influence On Personal Identity

    School is said to be 'a second home' to many students. It is said because we are there most of the time and that's where we meet a lot of new people and how we interact and also how we view ourselves. School is a big factor towards how we identify ourselves because at school, you worry about how people view you and what they think about you. For me, I never cared about anything people said or thought about me. People weren't always nice, but I never let it get to me and I can thank my brother for that because of him helping me become strong minded.…

    School. Most people shudder at that thought. Crowded hallways, obnoxious yelling, stubborn students, waking up early, seven hours of classes, and homework. Though school has classes like World History and there is homework and teachers who play favorites, I do have my band family and my friends. Plus, a structure so I don’t waste the day away.…
