The sexualization of children and what schools can do about it. There are several components to sexualization, and these set it apart from healthy sexuality. Healthy sexuality is an important component of both physical and mental health, fosters intimacy, bonding, and shared pleasure, and involves mutual respect between consenting partners (Satcher, 2001; Sexuality Information and Education Council of the United States [SIECUS], 2004).

Personal Change Essay After I read the first five chapters of Bridge’s book, I recall a change that I experienced, my parents ask me to leave the current primary school that I was studying at and transfer me into another school when I was at grade three.

This change brought me a great transition, this was the first time that I felt lonely in my…

Elementary schools should have recess implemented into the everyday routine…

I love to read and I wouldn’t be able too if it weren’t for…

a quote from the author’s elementary-school-aged daughter about how she had thought that her lesson at school that day involving a PowerPoint was boring and it uses this to transition onto the main point and thesis statement, “The text and material covered is still the same boring grammar and spelling lessons, but the educator has altered: It is a screen.” The point Bohnhorst tries to convey in her essay is that the creativity and social learning of students in elementary school may be hindered…

I found it hard to understand how writing could be so difficult. Other subjects usually introduce radically new concepts as you progress to higher level courses, unlike English which appears to have the same elements taught consecutively since elementary school.

My mother would occasionally tell me “maybe you can teach me English one day,” and…
