Elementary School through Junior high Second Grade In the Second grade, I had a teacher named Miss Ghetto. Her room had a huge shelf full of Potato Heads. She was probably the funniest teacher I ever had, she always had the best and funniest costumes for Halloween. It was the first year that we started to do spelling tests that were more than 5 words. If we received a hundred percent on the test we had a choice of making a sticker or making crayons by breaking different color crayons and then…
For the past four years I have been deeply involved in my school community as a leader on my high school’s Student Council. In ninth grade I primarily helped to plan pep rallies for Student Council’s Homecoming and Snowcoming. After reelection that May, I formed the Public Relations Committee and created a student life website that organizes teacher web pages, connects students with tutors, and advertises events. As treasurer my junior year, I curated data about all the events that Student…
first Primary like in Argentina, than Middle, Secondary, Vocational, and lastly Tertiary. Primary Education starts off in first grade and goes to sixth grade for six years. When kids start off in first grade they are usually at the age of six and by the time they are in sixth grade they are 11 years old. In the U.S. the Primary stage started in first grade to fifth grade starting at the age of six to eleven years old for five years. For the majority of kids they go to school for 18 years. On…
two tragic lovers. Even though Romeo and Juliet is a classic and teens can relate to some of their emotions, the situations and lifestyles are not relevant to modern day, is rather inappropriate, and is sexist so it should not be read in a 9th grade class. Ninth graders should not continue to read Romeo and Juliet because it is not relevant to situations and lifestyles occurring in modern day. In Act 3, Capulet and Lady Capulet have decided to arrange Juliet to get married to Paris, who is a…
challenge but it was not too bad. After sixth grade we had gotten used to everything and moved to seventh grade. Seventh was basically the same as sixth, it was not too bad either. Eighth grade was hard for me though. It was finally the…
next school day or even the school year. I finally realized that I had to choose between putting more effort into my school work to be able to go to 10th grade or continue to hang out with my friends. And here I am 10th grade year and getting better grades than last year. The choice I had to make was to either choose my friends or getting good grades for future jobs and colleges. Guess what I chose? My career and education of course. It was a hard decision for me at first because I love having…
a secondary school confirmation no more compares with secondary school level abilities. Managers even whine of secondary school graduates regularly being unskilled. "More than 40 percent of secondary school seniors need ninth-grade math aptitudes, and 60 percent need ninth-grade perusing abilities" (Rosenbaum 18). Therefore, bosses require a school recognition to guarantee that an individual has secondary school level aptitudes. Managers say that in the event that they could believe a secondary…
Eighth Grade Algebra” by Frances R. Spielhagen, gives an explanation of the benefits of students taking Algebra in eighth grade as opposed to students who start Algebra in ninth grade. Such comparisons that were examined included the amount of mathematics courses students took in high school when they took Algebra in eighth grade as opposed to students who were on a regular track. The study also compared how well these students performed on standardized tests that they took in eighth grade and…
chorus, the clogging team, and the handbell choir. All three activities included travel to different schools and community events that required members to miss school. These opportunities came with prerequisites that called for students to have good grades and behavior. Due to my involvement in these activities, I strived to do well in school to maintain my membership in these activities. It was during this time, I became concerned about how teachers thought of…
punishment. My parents and teachers all told me of how I would regret not trying in school, yet I would not listen. Each year I faced the dreadful uncertainty of whether or not I would make it to the next grade. Each year I ignored the loving advice of my teachers to try harder. By the time I reached ninth grade, I was as blind as Oedipus, unable to see the damage I had actually done. Like Icarus, I had fallen into the sea, but much worse, because I thought I was fine! I was the foolish man…
