Persuasive Essay On Middle School

Decent Essays
Being at Fallsvale throughout most of my elementary, and entire middle school years honestly helped me, simply because the stress levels of switching to a new school are very high, and staying at one school really boosted my confidence. I am positive that if I were to have switched schools in elementary, I would have been so nervous to start middle school, and only stay there for a couple years. I also would not have made so many great friends, because I simply wouldn’t have too much time to know them. Staying at Fallsvale definitely helped me make some great friends too; I knew them for a long time, so I always had company as well.
At REV, I don’t know at least three quarters of the students there, because it’s such a big school! Since Fallsvale

    In 2006, I began my journey at The Valley School as a first grade student. Moving over from my previous school, which I had attended from the time I was three until I was six years old, was fairly smooth. I had friends who made the switch with me and, being the social butterfly I was, making new friends was a breeze. In the first few years as a student, I saw Valley move into three buildings.…

    Author of research paper Karen walker Rough draft Did you know that year round schools have a 2% dropout rate nearly three percent lower than schools without the year round program. More schools should make the change to the year round program and join the 3081 schools and 46 states currently employing the year round program. Opponents of the year round school argue that student need a long summer break to catch up on lost sleep, and lose stress. By employing the year round school program schools will provide students with short breaks spread out throughout the year decreasing student teacher burnout, eliminate the summer learning slide further reducing time spent reviewing, and increase the amount of new material learned which in turn increases test scores as well as enrichment and therefore, US schools should rely on the year round program to further boost the education of Americas schoolers.

    When it comes to first time babies, people seem to completely and totally forget the father. The mother is given all of the advice, she has all of the published literature to refer to, baby literate friends and relatives and all the networks and support she could possibly need. But Fathers seem to be left completely alone to fend for themselves and to figure it out all on their own, which seems a bit unfair. Dads need advice too!…

    Despite the new outburst of year-round schooling across the nation, I have the firm belief that we should retain the traditional system. Most schools who have switched to the year round calendar switched back to the traditional one because the anticipated instructional advantages haven’t materialized. In some cases, it even results in a drop of one to two percentile points in national rank for reading, math, and language scores, compared to a traditional calendar. It is not a good idea to keep making this change.…

    If school is all year round there will be drastic changes in the american lifestyle. For example school being all year round would be a problem for children because year round school will not give students enough family time. This is the case because sometimes parents like to take a vacation, or a break once in awhile. Therefore the government should let schools have a break during the school year so that children can have time to spend with family and friends. There are many more problems such as parents would have to make scheduling adjustments, and year round school won’t give students enough time to spend with family and friends, and year round school would cost more money.…

    .In the state of Virginia, with mean student body size of 1,076 (“Table 5…,” 2001) and growing, ten dollars per student would allow for an additional 10,760 dollars of funding. The second concern that children require down time as it is beneficial to them and allows them to engage in play, familial events, and societal occasions such as festivals or tourism. Summer camp is a social gathering event, allowing a child to learn interactive skills and meet other children, taking that activity away would be wrong. However, this concern over peer interaction and learned social skills is easily mitigated, as school is also a social environment with equal opportunities for interaction with other children.…

But, after my mom talked to the cheerleading coach at the time, I realized that maybe this school is somewhat nice.…
