On April 7th, my 10th grade honors English class was handed our final assignment. Our task was to find a topic, research it, write an essay, and present it. It sounded dreadful to many of us. Yes, we did have some class time to work on the 550 point assignment, but we had to do the majority of it at home. The essay was not due for over a month, so I had time come up with a topic. Initially, I thought it would be extremely difficult to choose something which I could devote multiple hours to,…

throughout my primary and secondary education. I have never been placed in a charter school for field experience either. After some research and watching the video, I obtained some background information on charter schools. I now know they are independent schools that are usually established by teacher or parents. Charter schools began for parents to become more involved in their child’s education. At first glance, from the outside looking in, it does not seem like a bad decision to send your…

3-8 and 11. Both of the people I interviewed had not had much experience with CCSS or the Smarter-Balance, which surprised me seeing how one had her Doctorate degree and the other had been teaching for such a long time. Although we are an independent school, and if a person had not taught at a public school in the last 5-6 years, they may not know much about CCSS or Smarter-Balance, both of which have been in the works for quite some time. Having taught at public schools myself, I already…

Independent Study Project For this semester's Independent Study project I chose to write twenty sentences including forty vocabulary words. I used vocabulary words from chapter four, chapter five and chapter six. I chose this activity because I felt as if it would benefit me the most. Being familiar with the vocabulary for the upcoming chapters will benefit me because it will give me a head start on understanding the future content. I did not do this project over a long period of time, instead…

Moreover, 22 out of 49 private school children have a no choice in school attendance, 4 out of 7 of our surveyees of independent schools have no choice in the matter for schooling and 24 out of 100 public school students also have no choice in their education. This suggests that only a small minority of public school students have no choice in their schooling, as…

Growing up a Caucasian, upper middle-class child in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, I remember experiencing a sense of perplexity every time I visited my neighborhood grocery store. While one side of the store served a demographic population similar to my own, the other side catered to the low-income, predominately African American population located in the adjacent neighborhood. My grocery store represented the diversity of my city, causing me to question why such diversity did not exist in my…

Texas has been a state ruled by different constitutions during its early years.

Several revolts challenged Spanish rule during 1811 to 1813 lead by Juan Bautista de las Casas and Jose Bernardo Gutierrez, the latter issued a declaration of independence from New Spain and drafted a…

1960s is the age of innovation, the age of reformation and the age of integration. It does not require superb director skills, sixties century itself is just like a haunting film with strong rhythm and unexpected plot: Beatles, counterculture movement, Free Speech Movement etc. Ideal and rebellion, glory and decadence, become the spirit background color of this era. People in sixties did change the world, especially the world for Hollywood. In the process of continuous breakthrough,…
