Advanced Placement

Starting even before his time here, things as Greenport High School have been changing. In a recent interview Mr.Kalish was asked deeper questions, clarifying some questions that have been floating around this year. Here at Greenport Advanced Placement (AP) courses are not weighted. Over the years, this has caused both teacher and student conflicts. The teachers feel like they might have to take things slower to ensure every student passes the intensive college­ level course and the…

Advanced Placement Language requires many desirable characteristics to flourish in the class and in life. I belong in AP English because I possess a strong work ethic, find English interesting and want to challenge myself. I also comprehend the significance and essentiality of writing and long to improve my knowledge for college and my future career. Before choosing to take AP English, I heard many interesting and contradicting comments about the class, ranging from, “hardest class I have ever…

had nothing to worry about. I took a bulk of rigorous classes. It was necessary that I took eight classes, and four of them were Advance Placement courses, and one was one duel enrolment. The other three were core curriculum courses. It sounds like way too much, but it was fairly easy. However, there was one course that always stressed me out, Advance Placement Chemistry 2. The first week in that class was extremely simple. We had our first chapter test that Friday. I worked on the test, showed…

attention to local, national, or world news and the only opinions I had on those matters were from what I heard from my mother. Considering my feelings toward politics and government, it is still a surprise to me as to why I chose to include Advanced Placement U.S. Government in my tenth grade class schedule. However, knowing what I do now, it is the greatest decision I could have made throughout my four years in high school. The teacher of the course, Mr. Daniel Drotar, initiated my…

By taking this class not only will it raise my cumulative grade point average, but it will also prepare me for the next chapter of schooling to come. When taking this course, I hope expand my horizons and read more. Reading is crucial part of education and essential to feed our creative needs. I…

The year of ninth grade, when I took my first Advanced Placement classes, was also one of my most frustrating years. In ninth grade, I enrolled in AP Physics and AP Human Geography. During my elementary and junior high career, I was used to not doing as much work to get A's in my classes. I was ignorant to think those same methods would get me through what was essentially a college course. After receiving my first test back in Human Geography, I was petrified to see my first C on a test. Reality…

being involved in programs that force students to go above and beyond actually can have adverse effects on their development. The articles used to consider the negative side to extracurricular activities explored the pressures put on students in Advanced Placement…

middle school, I always got A for math test even I did not prepare for it. Also, during freshmen to junior yar, math was still not difficult to me. Therefore, I could maintain my math grade as an A. However, when I became a senior, I took Advanced Placement Calculus class, and I failed my first test, because I could not even understand what my math teacher says during the class. When I saw a sixty-three in my grade book, I was extremely disappointed to myself. I realized I will not pass my…

movie producers in order to promote both of their products. This communication phenomenon is known as product placement. Product placement is used in almost every film released due to the benefits both movie studios and advertisers receive. Quality does not matter as much anymore, but rather the quantity of money a studio makes. No matter how much the viewer hates it, product placement will always be a factor when it comes to making a profitable movie. Due to the immense…

Life’s What You Make It Life is filled with countless opportunities that will more or less make or break the pathway to humanity.

Also, when thinking about what it means to live a good life, maintaining social order becomes…
