1.) Initially, I wanted to explore the functionalities of Haitian Americans within the American education system, but once I began to search the different databases , there was little to no literature on the topic. So therefore I then selected a different research topic, Same Sex Schools and how the environment affected learning outcomes. However, that research topic fell into my lap as I searched the OneSeach database and found lots of material posted about the topic. In the end, that topic was…

From Adolescence to Adulthood: Writing at the College Level Well known for her research and publications on student writing, Nancy Sommers—now Harvard’s Expository Writing Program Director—discusses revision strategies in the journal College Composition and Communication. Throughout this essay, I will be focusing on three articles: “Revision Strategies of Student Writers and Experienced Adult Writers” (1980), “Between the Drafts” (1992), and finally, “the Novice as Expert” (2004) which she…

So now that we have talked about the present, we must look ahead. Stop looking at the problems we face now, and look ahead to the things we can do in the future to supplement our students with a better educational experience. There are many that argue that moving school start times later would be too costly. However, a study prepared by the Hamilton Project, called “Organizing Schools to Improve Student Achievement: Start Times, Grade Configurations, and Teacher Assignments” weighs the costs and…

Since I was born I have always dealt with a speech impediment. I went to speech therapy from the age 5 to 13. As I got older started going less and less to speech therapy but I would still go at least twice a month. Th reason behind my speech impediment is because I can not breath out of nose, which is very key whenever you are talking. I have improved greatly over the years to the point where people tell that I have done my whole life that they can not even tell I had a speech impediment at one…

When I think of the American Dream I think about using education as a means to rise above what you came from. It doesn’t necessarily mean being filthy rich or famous but living comfortably and being able to enjoy certain luxuries and indulgences (i.e. travelling, going out to eat, taking vacations, having your own car, owning a home, etc.) without worrying about how you are going to pay the bills next month. In terms of education the American Dream still exists. Many people are still going to…

without proper permission. Years ago, out of school suspension was considered a positive form of punishment; however, it is now an alarmingly high increasing factor that must be dealt with. This form of practice is often taken too lightly, given to students without proper investigation. A great example of this is of a student named Demi Grant, from Hartsville High School, received five days suspension for digitally favoring a tweet. The school’s reason for suspending her was due to cyber…

"If it means that teenagers will stop killing each other over designer jackets, then our public schools should be able to require school uniforms"(Woolley). Former President Ronald Reagan said this in 1996 during his presidency. The issue of schools across The United States of America having mandated school uniforms has been on the rise, but the controversy over whether or not uniforms actually accomplish anything is far from over. School uniforms first originated in Baltimore, Maryland at…

goes out in the morning and come back at late night. My father is a carpenter who provides most of the family expenditures. Same as other parents, my parents always advise me to work hard in school so that someday I can find a white collar job with high salary. Despite it 's for my own goods, I know I 'm not the type of person who can endure the mental exhaustion of being trapped in a small, stuffy cubicle to deal with boring paperwork. I 'm the person who wants to live with music and…

life defining experiences. A student’s involvement in sports is one of these moments mentioned earlier. Sports can contribute so much more than just physical activity. They allow students to become involved, and can benefit a person’s experience in high school. A person’s involvement in sports during school would be an overall benefit to their lives by improving themselves not only physically, but mentally and socially as well. When a person thinks about sports, the first thing that comes to…

Preschool, elementary school, middle school, and high school all systems made up by our society with the sole purpose of educating our youth. In our society education is very important it 's very valuable and it can shape how we approach our lives in this so called “real world”. The elementary school I attended was named Crestview Elementary it was closed down about four years ago and turned into an adult school.
