either, so I plan on asking in class to go. I hope that I that I don’t miss Mr. Chesterton go over the study guide while I’m in the restroom. At Awty we must extend time in between classes kids don’t have enough time to get books from their locker, when kids are rushed there is a higher chance that you will forget a book or bring the wrong book, lastly, kids do not have enough time to go to the restroom and will ask during class time and miss class time. The first reason that passing periods…
end up missing out important information or assignments in class. These hall sweeps should be diminished. The administrators at Milton High School don’t realize that many students don’t mean to be late. Let’s take first period hall sweeps as an example. Many people have different morning routines. Perhaps, many juniors or seniors that are late is due to the amount of traffic on the way to school which they have no control over. So, the first thing that happens once they enter the school, they…
“Beep Beep, Beep Beep, Beep Beep”. It was the first day of 8th grade and my brothers first day of middle school so I woke up my brother because I was so excited. I went to my closet thinking of what outfit I should wear. So I put on the first one “Freddy, do you think this dress looks cute” I asked “No! Why are you going to wear a dress to school” Freddy yelled. “Yeah ok I don't want people thinking i'm a show off or anything, but first of all better for you to stop yelling at me or the way I…
Imagine having only a four day week, and coming home on Thursday to a nice three day weekend every single week. This does sound good, right? The four day school week is where the school week only consists of Monday-Thursday. However, the only flaw with this is that more time is spent in the classroom, the school year must have a certain number of hours each week. This means having a four day school week, the hours lost on Friday would need to be made up, so more hours would be distributed among…
Mountain Day, Pangy Day, and Convocation are three of the most anticipated traditions in Mount Holyoke College; however, there is one tradition that no one knows until the middle of October, it is called Elfing. Elfing is a tradition between the first years and the sophomores. It has been around for more than fifty years. Elfing was not really called Elfing until the year of 1966 when the first years of that class said enough was enough; the class decided that instead of hazing the first years…
was known as the math know-it-all because I would be finished with homework assignments before class was even over. Thus, in ninth grade, my Algebra I teacher told me that I should go into a honor level math class. My first honors level class was a breeze to me. We could hand in homework late, revise tests and quizzes, and had perfect notes given to us in class. In Algebra II, that all changed. My first week of Algebra II, I realized things were going to be a lot different. We were instructed…
represent two snapshots into our class-- how we originally expected our class to be formatted, and how the course ended up arranged. While there are several commonalities between our two syllabi, there are also some differences. Many of the similarities stem from the fact that all of the days/activities we had on our original syllabus (discussion days, guest speaker days, etc.) remained present on our final syllabus; the major change came from a new arrangement of those days. The major impetus…
The Immigrant Son The day has finally come, which I wish it didn’t. The day that I have to leave everything I have in my life back there. I was born in a small town in india and grown up in hyderabad. My life was just boring. My parents wants me to be a “nerd” while I wanted to enjoy with my friends. When I got home, My mom and dad would be an inch away from my face that, I could see the sweat running down on their cheeks and I could feel and hear the sound of their breathing, scolding me, when…
favorite subjects so I thought this class would be the perfect opportunity to merge both of my interests into one. American Studies is a course that none of the other high schools that I was looking at had and I think that was definitely one of the deciding factors for me. I knew I wouldn’t have another opportunity to take a class like this in my high school career if I went somewhere else. I chose Penn Charter and every year, my heart was still set…
The two passages talk about if high schools should have an earlier or later start time and how it affects high school students. In the first article it talked about if high schools should start later to help sleepy teens. The second article talked about if high schools will keep earlier start times. In both articles the authors have their own point of view about their articles. In article one the author stated his claim about if high schools should start late to help sleepy teens. Most high…
