Elementary school

main reasons I believe why Americans are obsess with guns because there are a lot of guns incidences in schools, people who have guns at home and incidents…

Dallas Independent School District Dress Codes The Dallas Independent School District was established in the year 1884, which consisted of six segregated schools at the time. Today the DISD has grown to two-hundred and thirty schools, is the second largest district in Texas, and the twelfth in the United States. Since the district serves about 150,000 students, there has to be some type of dress code enforcement, just liked any other educational institute.…

used to being confined to a typical elementary school desk. I can’t stop getting chills, not because of the incoming blast of fog chilled north coast air, but because I’m nervous of what Ms. Morton will say. Her lips are pursed as she looks my scrawny sixth grade self up and down before she blithely asks, “what is a comma anyway?” I pause, look up, and say “I don’t know,” but here’s the thing: I didn 't need to yet. One could say that I didn’t go to primary school in the most traditional…

Learning is a very important aspect of our lives. From the moment we enter this world, until we die, we are always learning. Besides our parents, the educational component of our learning is left up to the school systems. As a matter of fact, most people go to school for at least 13 years, excluding post-secondary education which means we learn a lot of different information within those years. In class I thought that it was interesting that white women during the post-revolutionary time was…

My class would go to the library once a day everyday. Back in elementary school we were able to read for fun and choose any book we wanted. Most of the time I would find a Magic Tree House book or a Goosebumps book. This was the fun type of reading I liked to do. Then I got to middle school, where my thoughts on reading started changing, soon I found out I was going to have to read for book reports. Knowing this made me feel…

are becoming so advanced that it is mind-blowing what these gadgets can do nowadays. Today, I use technology on a daily basis and couldn’t imagine what my life would be like without it. I say that now, but about twelve years ago when I was in elementary school, I was just being introduced to the whole new world of technology. The first time I used a computer was in kindergarten back in 2002. I remember going to the library and using a program to make pictures of animals. Little did I know…

assessment especially in schools have been debased ad related to economic gains which would be one of the things I would love to advocate a change for. Assessment should employ a holistic approach as opposed to what obtains presently. Much emphasis is laid on test scores and funds with little or no recourse to the importance of assessment in effective teaching. The pronounced emphasis laid on test scores have an adverse effect on other components of testing e.g. grading. Most schools grading…

S. students reading and math test scored have declined dramatically for the first time in 20 years. There are many factors to take in to consideration before blaming The Common Core Standards, frequent testing in schools, the economy, and demographic changes. To what extent can schools be held accountable to meeting the needs of their students? In many urban areas students are already starting at a disadvantage or come from impoverished environments. There is a clear connection between family’s…

There are many instances in my life that shaped, formed, and helped me become who I am as a writer and a reader. There were certain teachers that got me interested in reading and later helped grow my love for reading. There were experiences that weren’t always so good but that didn’t make them insignificant to my development. Everything that I experienced could have had a different affect on another person. It may have even negatively affected them. However, in my case, because of how I was…

My TE-100 class went to Barr Middle School in Grand Island, Nebraska and Northeast Elementary in Kearney, Nebraska. Due to a conflict I was unable to attend the Barr Middle School visit and went to Walnut Middle School in Grand Island, Nebraska instead. At Walnut Middle School, I observed Mrs. Coble, the seventh grad math teacher. At Northeast, I observed Mrs. Tobey, a fourth grade teacher. After observing both schools I came to the conclusion that the two schools are very different from one…
