High-pass filter

day to do what pleases me. I have no worries about essays over topics I don’t care about, math tests that I know I won’t pass, and quizzes over a foreign language that I’ll never use. I always say to myself, “I’m never going back to school” or “Mom; I don’t need to go to school.” Unfortunately the law, and my mother, won’t let this happen so I am forced into another year at high school. Although the long days are enjoyed and there are no worries, this break causes a loss of interest in learning…

grew on, things haven’t changed very much. I still love figuring out how things work, and learning about technology. Once in middle school, I dreamed of having a career that would make me six figures. But, as I transitioned into high school, I realized that just choosing a high paying job would not provide me happiness. I put together a couple of my attributes and came up with the idea of software engineering, or a career in the computer/technology field. My dream career would be an engineering…

are practically giving them away at any and every age. This is why students are joined at the hip with their cell phones. I remember the days when a cell phone could only call and text, now you have the world in the palm of your hand. As an honorable high school student, I sat at the front of the class with all eyes on the front ready to learn and yearn for more. Yet, I still couldn’t concentrate with the occasional dings from the back of the class or the “OK Google” app answering questions…

The change from high school to college can be dramatic for most young adults. In high school students are excited to move on to a high level of thinking along with friends. High school is also where children go to prepare them for college. High school and college are similar in many aspects. They both create excitement, curiosity, a need environment with more freedom and a new experience in which our youth yearn to explore at least once in their lives. High school is immature fun, a time where…

We ought to join together in helping high schoolers who are still virgins ' remain virgins, and the ones who are engaging in sexual relations, help them to become abstinent. With a specific end goal to avoid high school pregnancy, youth need a clear comprehension of self-control, preventive methods, and outcomes. In spite of the fact that there are a wide range of ways to…

“Think about a textbook that is customized for each student’s needs and interests and includes opportunities for interactive practice and collaboration with others. That is the potential of tablets” (Karen). iPads and tablets should be included into the learning of a student even though there could be some major future issues. Tablets are the tool of the future because modern technology is evolving and opening opportunities of doing work faster. In school, tablets can help hold over hundreds of…

“The number of jobs requiring higher education is only going to get larger and larger as more Americans graduate with degrees.” More jobs are going to be requiring degrees from students and jobs are going to make sure that the level of education is high. If college athletes are paid, their focus will be taken away from their education and it would be transferred to the sports and the money they are receiving. The student athletes would begin to believe that with the money they are given they do…

reading and enjoy the way these authors can bring out so much emotion from their readers and leaving them wanting more. It’s a skill I admire. I can not really remember taking much English before high school. I won’t say that I didn’t but I just don’t recall anything from any such classes. My English class in high school consisted of a lot…

The students will be on top of things and wanting money and they will not fail. Compared to a job paying in schools is perfect. When people go to work they get paid an hourly wage or salary. What do students get? A high five or a letter saying “good job?” If the students do not pass, they should get detention or “fired” from their job. Wouldn’t adults do better if a bonus or promotion is at stake? So why do people believe students will not benefit from…

In his senior year he joined cross country and continued track and field. His last two years were the best years of grade school for him and he wishes it would have…
