Persuasive Essay On Sixth Graders

Improved Essays
Sixth graders can thrive if they possess the qualities of initiative, and morality. Initiative is the power to take charge before others do. For example, if you need to go to the bathroom, find time yourself and then go, don’t wait for someone else to tell you it’s a good time to go. Morality is the distinction between right or wrong behavior. For example, if a student contains morality, they would know that messing around in the halls is the wrong behavior. If a student goes to their next class quickly and efficiently, they would know that this behavior is the right behavior.

After school activities can be time consuming, therefore making it so that you will not be able to manage your homework. If you have activities that happen right after school, go to that activity and then do your homework when it’s over. If you have an activity that is one or two hours after school, stay at school, and do homework then, so it doesn’t pile up when you get home. In my experience, I have a sport starting at 5:30, but after school I stay so I can use the time that I have for homework so I don’t get home and still have to do all of it. Try not to stress if you are not able to do homework before your activity ends, do as much as you can when you get home. In conclusion, time management is a very large problem for new 6th graders. If you manage your time wisely, you can get things done in a timely manner, whether it’s going to the bathroom at a good time, getting work done with an after school activity conflict, or being on time to class. In 6th grade, students need to manage their time, so, don’t talk to friends in between classes, and find time to get schoolwork done as soon as possible before or after

    In May of 1991 Frederick Douglass Intermediate School was in shambles and Lorraine Monroe was given the daunting task of revitalizing the school. As she first toured the school it was hard to miss the blaring signs that the students had no pride or sense of ownership of the building in which they spent their schooldays. Hallways and classrooms were filthy and tagged with graffiti. Windows were broken. Ceiling tiles were “punched out”.…

    The experience that I went through and that I would like to share was when I played golf in the beginning of the year. I was fine managing my schedule during the first week or two of school, but then I started getting more and more homework as the weeks went on. I had a hard time keeping up with my school work and playing golf. I practiced every day after school and I didn’t really have any time after school to do my homework. Playing golf took up basically all of my time because I played it 5-7 days a week between practicing with the school team or practicing with my golf instructor/coach.…

    Education is one of the most valued components in society. It was not until the Reconstruction Era after the Civil War that educational reforms began. However, it is concerning that public schools in the 21st century still follow a framework developed in the early 1900s. The current society has drastically changed in their values, culture, and overall modernization in comparison to the society of the early 1900s. According to What Every Middle School Teacher Should Know, by Dave F. Brown and Trudy Knowles, the structure of an average school day was based off the average factory workday.…

With some of the experience that I had in school I think it is possible to get an A but the student has to be on the ball and not slack off at the end. Students just have to try hard and not get distracted when they are doing their work or studying. If they could do that then there will be no problem on passing the class with a good grade.…
