My best day of spring break was when we were driving home from Ohio and we saw a huge car meet. We had to stop by because there were so many cars to see. Before we walked into the meet, we stopped by Starbucks to get coffee. From there we walked to the meet. It was a pretty exciting walk because you could hear cars, music, and lots of talking.…
“Beep Beep Beep!!” imagine hearing this at 5 or 6 in the morning well most middle and high school kids have too. I believe that the starting time for school should be pushed back later in the morning. In the article entitled “ Should School Start Later?” also the short video “ Should Students Start School Later in the Morning?…
Have you ever not finished your homework and need more time at school that’s what study hall would do for us kids? Currently in Foley Intermediate school, we have no study hall for seventh and eighth graders because of this we need to take an elective that we don't enjoy. The rule is we must take seven classes and at least one of them has to be an art or a music class. If we add this elective we would need to have supervisors with us in this class and we would need to have a place to have study hall. Such as a room or even the cafeteria.…
When Kevin goes to school in the morning all Kevin thinks about is how to get the best grade by kissing up to teachers and cheating on assignments, with the competition of all of his other classmates doing the same thing Kevin does. In Denise Pope’s book Doing School, many teachers and students who go to the school shape how the school has so much competition and pressure on the students. However, unlike the other students, Kevin resorts to cheating in almost all assignments and gets away with it. The purpose of public education is to follow one’s desire, to teach the arts, and to encourage students to contribute to the world in a positive way.…

As an only child growing up in Clarence, Iowa, I at most times found myself playing alone in my backyard or sitting in front of my television, watching whatever we had on VCR. DVD players had already been out for years at that time, but with my father working as a mechanic in some random guy's garage, we could not afford to buy a DVD player. I had to resort to VHS tapes, but at least my mother would take me to the used game store(which also sold VHS tapes and DVDs)every once in a while. I became addicted to owning VHS tapes, even as a six year old boy and honestly, I still am to this day. My favorites were the movies from Tim Burton and the Disney films were my absolute favorites; I just could not get enough of Toy Story and The Lion King.…
Most of you feel dead in the morning. School times should change to a later start time. Extensive research has shown lower test scores in first period classes. Attendance in earlier start time schools has decreased. Also the amount of kids have reported less amounts of depression.…
It was the day before spring break where I knew my life would be forever changed! I was in the 10th grade and I have dreamed of always performing in the school talent show and winning the title of ‘’ Most Talented’’ and of course the cash prize. I knew this day would come where I would have to show my true talent of singing and confront my stage freight. Everyone in the school knew I can sing and they also knew I was shy but I followed my gut and signed up for the show anyway.…
College students that identify themselves as “morning people” scored a whole grade higher than those who identify themselves as “night owls” according to a study done by University of Texas. Waking up in the early times of the morning not only give you a jumpstart on your day but can also enhance your performance throughout it. Rising bright and early sets the tone for the rest of your day and also reduces stress. Another major factor, waking up earlier creates healthier eating habits. Obesity is an ongoing war for our country so maintaining a healthy diet is a key factor to winning this battle.…
While sometimes this might be true we can’t always assume this immediately and try to justify it by saying the student “doesn 't care.” If you don 't expect a drowsy adult to drive a car for 15 minutes how do you expect a tired kid to pay attention for the first two hours of school? Now not all teens and students are the same some find it very easy to fall asleep before 11 and wake up fine. But we must look at the bigger picture, how can we make it easier for students to stay engaged in class. Throughout my own experiences I have always found myself tired when getting up for school.…
Why school should start later Many people are raging about what time school starts but there might not be any time to change it. School Usually starts around 8:30 am, around where I am but in the U.S.A some school start around 8:00 am, lunch is usually around 12 lastly school around where I live end around 3:30 but in the U.S.A many schools end at 3:00 pm even earlier. But I am here to tell why you should or shouldn't starts school later My first argument is about how schools should start later, One of the strongest reason why schools should start later is how you might actually get the recommended amount of sleep.…
Studies show that students are more alert after nine o'clock. With school starting at 7:44, the first two periods seem like a waste. Students aren't learning to their full potential, and as a result aren't getting the grades they are capable of. Over twenty percent of all high school students fall asleep in school at one time or another. It's hard to learn while you're sleeping.…
I have been fortunate to have excelled in most everything in my life. However, there are certain subjects that have not come as easy. There are two subjects where I would go as far as saying that I’ve struggled in. They would have to be my college-level Music Theory class and History as a subject (omit as a subject). With these classes, I take the same attitude that has done so well for me in all my other classes, but there are specific reasons why these (History and Music Theory instead of “these”) cause me the most problems.…
