School is the beginning of our adventure through life. It not only teaches us the mandatory lessons needed but also ones that stick to us throughout life. Whether it was that one extraordinary teacher or the one everyone hated, students would still learn and use it to their advantage. Unfortunately, this was the mindset of teenagers/ young adult’s years ago; now the students of today aren’t understanding the value of their education and how far it can take them.…

Over the past ten years there have been several issues pertaining to why school should start later in the day. Many parents, teachers, and board leaders have tried pushing the issues so that the start time will change, but not a whole lot has happened. There are schools in all fifty states that want to jump on board and start school later, so why not just do it? It’s way easier said than done. The top reason why people don’t want to start school later in the day is because they are already used to the seven or eight AM start time…
I think that in today's society if people weren’t educated the world would be nothing. In today’s day and age everybody needs to go to school or get some type of education. If I made my own school, my school would teach a certain curriculum, the school year and the school day would be different. I would have the teachers teach the students why schooling is so important and why people need education.…

Against School Response Many would agree that school is important, including myself. However, just because it’s important doesn’t mean it’s always pleasant for the students (or teachers, apparently.) In fact, sometimes, besides school being an unpleasant experience, it can ultimately end up being a big waste of time. Not just for the student, or even the teacher, but everyone that attended a school that didn’t care about their students. Like John Gatto said in his insightful article “Against School”, when someone is educated, it doesn’t necessarily mean they went through twelve painful years of school, nor does success automatically mean that you went through them.…
The Myth of Education and Empowerment. People all around the world have different thoughts on what school is. Some people think that it is just a waste of time and that we shouldn 't have to go if we don 't want to. Others believe that school is one of the best things that has ever happened to them, because if there wasn 't school, how would they get the career that they really want.

The author states that the teachers need to review their teaching method of students, especially those who do not pay attention in the class and get bad grades on exams. Mary Sherry illustrates that all students should be motivated by teachers and parents to do well in school. Her students wish that someone would stop them from doing drugs or partying. They feel as if they were just passed along from grade to grade…
“The greater the obstacle, the more glory of overcoming it.”, said by Moliere relates to The Help solely because it is based on obstacles that are put upon the characters in the book. The Help by Kathryn Stockett, is mainly about three women who are trying to overcome the racism of their time by writing a book, all while telling their stories. Ms. Celia's treatment towards Minny compelled Minny to believe she should be treated as a person. Minny is the new maid to Celia Foote, and once Minny walks into that house she is greeted and offered something to eat and drink. Now, in the 50s and 60s this was not a usual thing.…
Something I have loved about attending high school is there is something for everyone whether you are into sports, theater or even just challenging yourself with DC/AP classes. I have never been one for sports. I love attending them and cheering on the team, but when it comes to actually playing the sport, I can’t kick, throw or catch a ball to save my life. That’s why going to high school is great! I am able to focus on what I am good at and enjoy doing.…

To be honest, I hate school with a passion, yet I love learning as much as living. As a child, schooling created a feeling of loneliness and sadness that echoed throughout my life, even now. I didn’t meet the standard levels for literacy and was separated from my classmates in elementary school for special reading and writing classes. Also the lack of freedom to say and move the way I wished to, and the rebellion that stemmed out of me in middle school due to these limitations. Finally, the conforming in high school to appease my mother, friends that drove me over the edge, yet even now I feel the same bull-crap in college.…
In today 's society, there is a lot of stress placed on younger generations to pursue higher education. Having more than just high school based knowledge is required to have a well paying career. Employers expect their employees to have a certain level of knowledge in order to work efficiently. Education is just the short cut to the career that you want to do. Saying that what one’s education standing is what brightens or dulls your future.…
