High school

School is a very boring place to be. You have to be ready for almost anything. As you may know elementary school was as easy as pie you always got recces, you did not have to move around everywhere, and P.E was amazing. But once you get in high school it is like it all goes away. There is no more recces, you have to switch class rooms all the time, and P.E gets boring. You also have to go from being the big sixth graders to the big eighth graders to the small ninth graders. Who might I add get…

Throughout my educational career I have been to three high schools including this one. Two out of the three were in New York, one was a fashion high school in Manhattan and the other was my zoned school in Queens. Although their education techniques were slightly different, their dress code rules were exactly the same, there wasn't one. Then when I transferred to the amazing town of Flower Mound Texas, I found out that the dress code here is actually enforced and very strict. Whenever I hear…

It was a cold november night under the bright lights of Beaverton high school. It was that november night that still taunts me every day of my life. This was the biggest game of my young high school career and i was going to let the number 30th team in sate stop our journey to the state championship. Week before we beat the number 4th team in state so we regained home field for one more game. We were favorite to win by two goals. But that doesn’t mean anything when the ref blows his whistle.…

extremely confusing especially to a strength and conditioning coach at the high school level. One may wonder what is periodization? What periodization model is the best for what type of athlete? How do I implement periodization for a high school athlete? These are just a few questions a strength and conditioning coach may ask themselves or others. This journal is written to help explain some of these questions for a high school strength coach but in no way is the absolute answer to these…

High school students need an average of eight hours of sleep every night, and for the majority of these students, this is almost impossible. When teenagers begin maturing, the “circadian timing system,” located in the brain, makes it to where they go to sleep and wake up at later times (Boergers 5). “More than two thirds of high school students do not get enough sleep,” said by Wheaton, Ferro, and Croft (812). The article by Wheaton, Ferro, and Croft also states, “...the proportion of students…

to spend the time they have after school (Howard). Schools are providing way too much homework for students. Student athletes don’t have enough time do homework, it can bring your grade down even if you get the material, and can put a lot of stress not only on the students but in their household as well. Student athletes don’t have enough time when they get home from practice/games to do their homework and can affect their…

small with the people around them and the perceptions among them. With that, my question is; should high school require students to take an environmental ethics class to graduate? For most, high school is a time were the curriculum is being mastered through the student’s studies, the students in this new curriculum will be challenged to question their anthropocentric mindset. I believe yes, high school should have environmental ethics as a core holism class that each student must take. The…

The girls performed that Friday night during the halftime of the football game. The little cheerleaders performed two cheers,…

Instead of becoming the leader of my high school students’ union, I was more interested in making events allowed all my high school colleagues to be able to take part of such as Halloween,…
