    FOR Jennifer White, a senior at North Shore High School in Glen Head, an open campus has meant the freedom to leave school at lunch time, as well as during other free periods, to work on independent research projects. This, Ms. White says, is a privilege she cannot afford to lose.

The current policy at North Shore High School, which has been in effect for more than 15 years, allows all of the 547 students in Grades 9 through 12 to leave campus during lunch or other free periods.…

    College vs. High School High school and college may appear to be closely related, but in reality they are two distinct worlds. It is crucial to recognize that the two, however slightly similar, mostly contrast in order to successfully complete the transition between the two. In transitioning from high school to college, a student would need to know what to expect, specifically how some behaviors that would have been considered taboo in the former are often acceptable in the latter. Colleges tend to offer a more substantial amount of freedom. High school on the other hand tends to focus on discipline and structural matters.…
