Instead of having standardized tests,…

As identified by Anghileri (2006) the way mathematics has been taught to children over the years has changed to better prepare them for the future. In the past, as stated by Charlesworth et at.(2013) mathematics has focused on memorisation and drills in an isolated environment, often creating a negative stigma towards the subject.

When my high school guidance counselors began asking about my career goals, teacher was always the answer I gave them, because despite fluctuating interests throughout…

Ms. Caldwell definitely deserves being teacher of the year. If you ask me why I will say many things, for example, math wasn’t a subject I valued until I had Ms. Caldwell for Algebra 1. She always helped us and made sure she answered the questions we had. She would make my classmates and I go early in the mornings to her office so we could explain what we had done wrong and if we didn’t understand the material she would explain the material in detail and say why the answer is right.

After our game we would sit down and listen to our Sunday school teacher teach the lesson. After lesson we had snack time and we would eat snack while we waited for our parents to come get us.

Comparing Freemont High to Maryville High High school should be a place where teens feel comfortable, and to a certain extent, free to make their own decisions. At Freemont High School (FHS), Jonathan Kozol interviewed the students’ attendance, and all of them said this school was none of the things it is supposed to be.
