Permian High School

currently work at a Title I school that has its fair share of issues with parents having heated arguments. Education is not highly placed in the community by the parents, but that is something we are trying to change at our school. It’s been a process to help get the guardians involved…

There are numerous theories and perspectives regarding the causes and possible solutions of juvenile delinquency. Before reading Bad Boys: Public Schools in the Making of Black Masculinity and Dubious Conceptions: The Politics of Teenage Pregnancy I had my own theories regarding juvenile delinquency and how education, teen pregnancy, the family system and poverty played a role in youth becoming part of the juvenile justice system. While reading these two novels, the authors, Ann Ferguson and…

are? In the United States, every child is required by law to attend either public or private school and all are included in the standardized testing procedures. For Finland, all children receive some sort of education, required by law, but only students in non-vocational schools take the standardized tests that are used for global academic rankings. In South Korea, every child is required to attend school, but only those who qualify for upper secondary education take the standardized testing.…

in a school district and I believe that a school is the heart of the community. It is where we meet our neighbors, where our children make friends and families gather for school activities. It is about people. When you have a neighborhood that is struggling, you will also find the school is struggling. As I watched the video Building Expectations, Portrait of Lincoln High School there was definitely signs that this community was careworn. Possibly part of the decision to rebuild the high…

In my first semester here at High Point University I have learned a few lessons in The President’s Seminar that will help me throughout the rest of my life. In all of those lessons that were given the two that stuck with me; how to create an effective presentation and how to manage my time. While attending these lessons I have learned ways to make my life more successful. I believe that these lessons will stick with me and help me in my future jobs. When you are giving a presentation you must…

mentality of a leader, my 6th-grade self decided to run against an 8th grader for the secretary position in our middle school student council. I didn’t think twice about the fact that I was going up against someone two years older than I was until all of the older kids made fun of me and told me I wouldn’t win. But this only gave me the courage to get up in front of the entire school and give my speech to try and win over the crowd and beat the 8th grader who thought she was better than I was. A…

As I look back to my high school days, all I could ever think about was getting my diploma and moving on to college. Frankly, I just wanted to graduate because I was growing tired of the same old stuff in school. I didn’t really know what I was getting into, thinking that I was ready for college while being blind-sided by the amount of obstacles that I came to face. Now realizing the amount of responsibility that I have to accept, my situation of being a first-generation college student and my…

grade year. The Savannah trip, semi-formal, and moving on to high school in just one year. Eighth grade is that awkward time where boys are a big deal and girls are still trying to learn how to do their makeup correctly. I knew that this year was a big deal to me. I wanted nothing at all to get in my way. I just wanted this year to run as smoothly as possible. I knew I had a date to semi-formal.This was the biggest drama in middle school. I also was one of the only girls who had a boyfriend.…

higher education due to their ability to learn and succeed in school. McArdle and Conlin also argue that women today are leading to become more educated than men because of their ability to learn faster than men. The main cause of men not going to college is their biology of learning…

to the class and do exercises after that class. Therefore, since middle school, I’ve hate the morning when I have to wake up early for that class and do that stupid “dancing”. I remember that when I was studying in middle school in China, I was sober one or two days a week only because I got lie-in at some weekend, and I felt so comfortable and clearly of my brain. I could find any answer of any calculation and…
