a doctoral degree-holder will earn $3.3 million over a lifetime, compared to $2.3 million for a college graduate and $1.3 million for those with a high school diploma” (Hsu).

with 2. In middle school we were shown that there are 360 degrees in a circle and a numerous variety of rules and theorems that seemed only relevant for that section. We learned about sine, cosine, and tangent, which were chiseled in our brain. In high school we were introduced to things I didn’t know existed, such as derivatives, 4-step problems, linear regression lines. When I am asked the question what is math, I still seem to divert my attention to the elementary school response and explain…

doesn’t want to be helped. In order for a good teacher to be a good teacher, a student must stay on top of assignments and make a true effort to understand all course work. Although it’s sad the fact of the matter is that my time at Eastern Guilford high School will be coming to an end soon, an end that came all too fast.

Which tends to depress and improve my studies depending on the situation, Eventually I had mustered enough courage and gathered weeks worth of information to back up my desire to go overseas…

good potential but that it was not up to their standards. I needed to work on grammar, my wording, and what not. I really hated it. I know it was to make me a better writer but I did not feel like it was helping. I thought I would not make it through high school. However, I did not always hate writing. When I first learned to write my name I was so proud and happy. Then of course when I got to school there they’d teach us to make sentences. It was fun because…

Holistic education seeks to define a person’s passion for life and learning through a focus on community, the natural world, and humanitarian values. Jackson and Davis (2000) contended that the middle school philosophy far exceeds that of the junior high, and that adolescent development, more than curriculum, should be the guiding principle for school organization. Their basis for such a premise is the nature of middle-school education, and the necessity to focus on concrete rather than…
