If your school was to stay open one and a half hours late would you be horrified? I disagree, because kids need sleep, there is no participation in class, and their is no time for extracurricular activities. First of all, every kid need at least seven to eight hours of sleep. The average teenager needs at least twelve to fourteen hours of sleep. If a child does not get enough sleep then the child can be very agitated and grumpy. Pupils need to be well rested and ready to learn. Also, students…
As many teenagers do, most will experience senioritis. A condition in which most adults will “diagnose” seniors with. Senioritis is actually characterized by a decline in motivation or performance. Seniors begin to feel tired and beat. Tired of going to school, tired of waking up in the middle of the night, or early because they just remembered an essay that’s due tomorrow. They are you tired of the same places, same 4 walls each and every day. They just might experiencing what most will…
Removing myself from my phone over Thanksgiving break sounded tough. When you don’t have school you just want to relax and be by yourself. Although, I didn’t exactly have a choice in doing this because we would be writing a reflection essay on it when I went back to school. Even though I hadn’t really formulated a plan for this, I was surprised when Thanksgiving break presented itself with many opportunities to remove myself from my phone. The first opportunity to remove myself from my phone…
March Madness makes most people think of basketball for sure.. but for me, it has a totally different meaning. March madness, in the realm of an elementary intervention specialist, means testing and lots of it. We have to show academic achievement and growth from the beginning of the year until now. This is definitely necessary yet it is extremely exhausting for not only the children but myself. When you are used to moving around and including a lot of kinesthetic learning in your day, sitting…
A Stand Against Wikipedia by Scott Jaschik draw attention on how students should not use Wikipedia as a resources due to its inaccuracy details and lack completeness entries. In his article he emphasize, “ As Wikipedia has become more and more popular with students, some professors have become increasingly concerned about the online, reader- produced encyclopedia.” Scott have a point where there is plenty of inaccuracy details, but that’s not accurate at all. If the person gathered enough…
“You’re just a kid, you don’t know anything!” “Don’t listen to her, she doesn’t know right from wrong yet.” Teenagers today are constantly being deemed the uneducated youth by the adults around us. It’s extremely difficult to be taken seriously in the eyes of my parents and the eyes of my superiors simply because I am “less wise” or “immature.” As someone who is avidly involved in politics and present social movements, such as feminism and the Black Lives Matter campaign, it is almost insulting.…
Methods A semi-structured interview format was made to interview three individuals. These individuals were asked to take part in an interview and answer a few questions about themselves. The three individuals were elected for this simply because they were family or friends of the researcher and because they show signs of having adapted a sedentary lifestyle. The interviews took place at times and locations in which the individuals chose so that they would feel comfortable and at their preferred…
For my activity outside of class, I went out to eat with my ESL partner, went to the casino and ended the night playing pool. I had two ESL partners, but unfortunately only one was able to accompany me. At first we had planned to go to Caesars and it was supposed to be with my two ESL partners. Ariadna was not able to make it because the ESL program had a last minute activity, which was to go bowling. Olmedo told me he was still up for the casino because he did not want to go bowling. I drove…
All students would like extra time to study, including me. If I sleep later at night, I can have more time to study for an upcoming test. As I am in sixth grade, I have a lot of quizzes and tests from every teacher. The reason why I want to study at nighttime is that I have no time in the morning or after school. For example, I am very busy with club meetings, dinner, and band practice. Clubs can be up to an hour long and band practice takes time. Although dinner is one part of my busy schedule…
In Dr. Marty Lobdell’s video "Study Less, Study Smart", he communicates in his lecture some of his study tips and techniques. During the video his tips were for example, break your studies into chunked sessions, create a dedicated study area, to study actively, take smart notes, read textbooks effectively, etc. While studying with these helpful techniques, students increase their success in becoming a better studier. I’m like a lot of other students who make the mistake to study for hours in a…
