can be one of the hardest changes of all. Changing communities affects how one views his or her peers, life, and one’s sense of self. When I made the transition from Elementary School to Middle School, my world was turned upside down. I was introduced to things I had been beforehand shielded from. My experience of the shift from Elementary School to Middle School was dramatic; my life changed both for the better and for the worse. Elementary School was a happy time in my life; I am sure most of my fellow students would agree with me. In Elementary School, I was free from the worldly worries; I did not have…
English becomes the major language that I use in my daily life, however, when I was in elementary school, I thought the English course was unnecessary and defeat. In China, about in my fourth grade in elementary school, English became a required course, and it is as important as Chinese and Math lessons.

been a great admirer of the German education system. I am more familiar with the school system in my home country (Togo) than the one in America.

Prior to the 19th century, education was not wide spread throughout the world. It was with the increase of an industrial economy that education became a necessity. Education was needed to prepare workers for newly specialized labor. As specializations became more complex, the need for more schooling increased.

I was not fully aware of what was happening during that three-year period. I used to struggle essentially with fitting seeing that the majority girls were different than me. I was that girl that does not talk or get herself into trouble, while other girls talked together and gossiped about other girls. That environment was not only aggravate me, but also the school’s curriculum was still under development. They used to give us only papers, not proper books, to study from. All I can recall that…

To the Members of the Boston Public Schools Board of Education: “School districts across the country have been slowly limiting recess and children’s free time at schools with many schools taking the drastic step of eliminating recess altogether” (Keeler 14). Many schools believed that smarter students could be cultivated with less free time and more work time (Keeler 14). However, children in America are suffering from a health crisis from the lack of physical activity and free time in schools,…
