Restating the fact that “a four- year college degree has essentially replaced the high school as the necessary preparation for a career in the modern world” (Discoll). In addition a college degree raises the standards of living, it helps with getting a job that pays a better salary and in return it provides more tax revenue and personal fulfillment (Discoll), but how can a college degree be achieved if the tuition is just too high for students? It is true that there are scholarships, but the…

different than it is for grade school. Like primary and secondary school, I feel like it is essential for preschoolers to be receiving some sort of education based learning in a classroom environment. This type of education will prepare young children for what lies ahead of them in grade school and up. As an educational consultant I would propose a couple of policies that I would you suggest to the federal government. Those policies being, like primary and secondary schools, it would be…

The first question many teenagers are asked at any social gathering or family party is, ‘what do you want to do when you graduate?’ For most adolescents, that question is the most dreaded part of any day. However, that stereotype doesn’t apply to me, as I had decided in the 10th grade exactly what I wanted to do in life. My future career goal is to be an English teacher for deaf students. My plan is based off of my interest in the deaf community and culture, my passion for English and love for…

choice on whether to further his education or not, and many are heavily pressured towards college. I believe each individual should be able to choose the path appropriate for his needs with support and affirmation. By the time I was a freshman in high school, I was constantly being asked, “Where do you want to go to college?” “What do you want to major in?” “What career will you have?” At the time, it was exciting to think about the future and making all those “big kid” (emphasis added)…

Throughout the years, there have been many debates on whether or not class sizes should be reduced. Due to the number of budget cuts and teacher layoffs, public schools are seeing their class sizes are increase. Shrinking the number of students in a classroom could ultimately lead to higher achievement, lower stress on teachers, and fewer consequences. Policy makers should reduce the amount of students in a classroom to open up a greater opportunity for individual interaction between student and…

Your senior year of high school can be extremely stressful, from keeping up with class assignments to preparing for the next immense phase of your life, college. Preparation for college comes with a lot of important decisions. Deciding where you want to attend and how you’re going to finance the cost, are only a couple of questions that have to be answered. All of this can be tremendously difficult and overwhelming to students who have no clue where to start. Ms. Phoebe Smith set out to make a…

never been that good. I am pretty tall which is a great asset to have when playing basketball, but I’m not very strong or coordinated. All through middle school, I was a B team player, so I was not that good. I didn’t really love basketball at this time, I only played because everyone told to because of my height. My freshman year of high school was the same story. I grew four inches going into my sophomore year putting me at 6’5”. This made me even more uncoordinated than before. So I didn’t…

Aristotle once wrote, ¨educating the mind without educating the heart is no education at all¨. Aristotle’s message is intended to be heard by high school students because it is important that our education system is created to benefit students. Students wanting to succeed and learn are more likely to achieve higher grades than students who slip into bad study habits and are not engaged in the classroom (Haynes and Berkowitz 1). In today’s society, many students are not becoming educated in an…

SSS are important in order to help people from disadvantage backgrounds succeed and achieve their career goals. My participation in RAMP has influenced my overall college experience greatly. RAMP has helped me feel comfortable in my transition of high school in college with tutoring session, providing workshop, and an assigned counselor. Federal funding programs like RAMP/SSS are important because they provide an opportunity for people who generally would not have the chance to achieve their…
