future? Reports, on educational funding, consistently reveal how uneven and unfair public school funding is throughout states across the country. While this underfunding of states does need to be addressed as a whole the easiest way to to see a change is to do so on a state level. Connecticut needs to enact a fair and evenhanded school funding system in order to assure fairness among all students in every school district. (Talk about funding among all states. How funding dispersed, states…

hurts less and less, but I hope you remember the process. The grueling, exponentially annoying process will mean more to you than a Band-Aid fix that covered, not healed, the wound. Sophomore year, you were elected as the Vice President of your high school, and like any rational person, you tried to give away the title because another person deserved it more- yet another excuse for why you didn’t deserve what you wanted; simply, you believed you weren’t enough. You lacked the courage to accept…

It was August 24th, 2009… I remember my first at in Vietnam for studying abroad in the American International School as if it was yesterday. I started going to middle school since when I was 7th grade. It was a memorable situation day ever in my life. First day of school, my hand clenched in my mother’s hand because I could not understand or speak any English, and also it was unfamiliar surroundings; I did not know what class to enroll me in. Even if the teacher says something, I did not…

meat on my bones, so I did. Around my 8th grade year summer, before entering high school, my whole body changed. I’m not sure if it was me finally reaching adolescence, but I sure did change my eating habits. I finally started to gain some weight, but my body was still in shape because I have always been an athlete. I have been playing soccer for as long as I could remember and it always kept me fit. Throughout my high school years, I remained lean and tall, but I was eating a lot. Senior year,…

The school club allowed me to see the importance of what this group of peoples can do for the school and the communities. As I was getting involved with the clubs, I had a great opportunity, created by the school, to help the homeless people, people with inconvenient health, little children, seniors and ext. As I was helping either directly or indirectly, I…

student’s future, but in the novel Normal is crazy by Lloyd Lofthouse, he tells us that there still some out there. Mr. Lofthouse taught at a high school in Nogales. The high school was settled in a town where gang banging was occurring. At the time where he entered to teach there he knew it wasn’t going to be easy, most of his student’s weren’t even interested in school. He believed that if he would push his student’s, they would be more interested in looking forward into going into college. So…

opportunities. What I am going to discuss is if there is really a “better option” of the type of school everyone should be aiming to go to. Which college, a community college, for-profit school, or four-year university, will take a student farther in life and give the most benefits (graduation and a degree)? From the research, I have concluded that out of the three types of schools—community colleges, for-profit schools, and…

Ethnographic Research Paper: Life History (Geronimo Hernandez) The topic that I choose is the life history of a Mexican man by the name of Geronimo Hernandez. The reason why I choose to do a life history of a Mexican man is because I can relate with that person and I have knowledge of traditions and know some of the struggles Mexican people face as a community. I like Mr. Hernandez have come to this country to live a better life and have left a different life style back in our Country like many…

happened while the 1918 education act was in force or before it became policy. The educational system has a historical context because before the 1902 education act was introduced, the educational system had the 1870 education act which brought in school boards. The 1870 education act had helped towards the increase of elementary education within the…
