A. C. Reynolds High School

I agree that students are judged to be either book smart or street smart because my experience in Pattonsburg High School confirms it. In my small school of merely 75 high school students, students are considered either book smart or street smart, and like it states in the book, the two groups tend to not get along very well. I think that society believes that in order for a person to become successful in the world they must be book smart; however, I believe that some students are challenging…

It is often said that a college degree is better than just a high school degree but a college degree does not assure you a job. In the article College, Jobs and Inequality it states “That means recent grads have about the same level of unemployment as the general population.” In other words the author of the article…

I believe that academics come first and if a high school student wants to be an athlete, then getting good grades should be a requirement. It should be mandatory for teachers and coaches to check the grades of student athletes weekly to determine whether students are performing academically well or not. The students that aren’t doing well should be…
