Buzz, buzz, buzz! Knock, knock, knock! Something all high schoolers hear around 6:00 in the morning on a school day. For most high schoolers, it is a difficult time to wake up, since last night they spent all night watching class videos for Pre-Calculus, studying for their test for AP World History test, and finally falling asleep at midnight. Now Irondale students head to school looking and feeling like they are part of the cast of The Walking Dead from all the sleep deprivation. According to…
English also. Teachers just need to know a lot about things they need to teach. There are many things that teachers need to be a teacher. They need to pass all the classes that they take in high school to graduate. Teachers definitely have to graduate college to become a teacher. A few important ones would be a high school diploma, bachelor’s degree, and also training (“Preparation” 1). To be a teacher the minimum years in college students need to take is four years. If we go for four years…
state-wide law, thus, I believe that this makes the enforcement of these two laws in one city and not in the other, a lot more difficult to maintain. In the case of the daytime curfew law, I have several family members who attend middle schools and high schools in the city of Los Angeles. Numerous times I have been told of how they have seen many students year-round jump the fence and leave the school to hang out with their friends, go…
quote portrays where I currently am in life because I am nearing the end of junior year of high school and entering my final year. This year has been filled with an immense amount of stress and hard work, especially with a course load that has had the hardest classes, compared to years before. Despite the hardships throughout this year, I need to work even harder during senior year because I need to finish high school strong, and therefore cannot slack off. In addition, I need to enjoy it even…
because you were born to a family that lives in a trailer and can’t afford nice things doesn’t mean you shouldn’t be able to go out and get the same education as a kid whose parents are doctors and lawyers. There is such a gap between schools in areas of high income and areas of low income, that depending on where you are born, that pretty much decides the education you will receive for the rest of your life. But that’s not how it should work. We should all be able to have any of the tools at…
inadequate schooling, “over 8% of black students dropped out… [compared to] white students [who] had a dropout rate of 5%” (Fallon 754). Jobs that require only a high school diploma are declining, but over 8% of African-Americans are unable or will be unable to get even those jobs. White students have a 3% advantage in graduating high school, and even more of an advantage when it comes to getting into college. Black students also have a…
Throughout my time in high school and seeing all of the graduation requirements that come and go not once has community service come up. I personally think it is a great idea. Helps us high school students give back to the community. How many people come to sporting events, support clubs, and donate their time and resources to the high school out of the kindness of their hearts? A lot, especially in a small community like ours. The other thing is I think that the term community service is always…
Expectations of High School Junior high is two years where it is comparable to the most awkward years. That is why most people can not wait until high school. I would say most people compare and contrast high school with their high expectations. Tv shows and movies and parents persuaded many upper elementary and junior high students including myself of what to expect out of high school. Tv shows and movies gave me high expectations of high school since they all showed the students not…
According to Smithville High School’s 2015-2016 handbook, if you have a certain number of tardies you lose your driving privileges for a duration of time. I strongly disagree with the policy that Smithville High School has put into effect that states that if you have a number of tardies during your semester, you will lose your driving privileges. This policy should be dropped for many reasons. I believe this will harm students more than it will help them because if they can’t drive to school…
Over the past decades, attending college has been stressed to all high school students. Many students are lucky to survive the struggling years of high school let alone make it to college. The students that are prosperous in attending college usually drop out or get pulled into the partying craze. Specialty businesses look for college educated people to hire that have a degree that meets requirements the business searches for. All high school graduates should attend college for at least a two…
