Permian High School

I personally have three problems that have stuck with me for quite a while now and these problems have been troubling me during middle school all the way through high school. During middle school I frequently had a problem with procrastinating since I could remember. For me, I was and still am struggling with procrastination. I have had many times where I procrastinated on assignments. Here is an example of one of those times where I procrastinated on an assignment.…

The bedrock powerpoint was made to enhance our knowledge on how children learn and become who they are, whether they make the good choices in life, or bad ones. The three main important points that were made in it was brain architecture, serve and return, and toxic stress. These 3 points all determine how a child’s foundation starts and how their experiences in life affect how they will become. I thought this was an eye opener to how kids learn and form their own personality. When I first…

I realize that my life story is not solely based on the popular American dream. As I have mentioned, the high-quality education at London makes me heartily appreciate the opportunity that I have been given. The more grateful I am, the more concerned I become when I look around and see countless people suffering. It is not all about achieving my American dream…

There are several perspectives on the role of education. John Dewey an American education philosopher of the 1930 stated, “I 'm simplifying—that the general purpose of school is to transfer knowledge and prepare young people to participate in America’s democratic society” (Carter, 2012).

children” (Michael Grove). For children just beginning their journey in school their enthusiasm to learn is profound. They are excited to learn anything and everything.

This language immersion school teaches the children a second language of either Spanish,…

only been home for two days and my parents were ready to spend more money on him. Today I woke up to find that my mom and Dad went out for lunch and left Morgan my car. Go figure. I chose to hangout with Tucker today. Tucker is my best friend from school. I called him Bones because he was super skinny. He had dark skin with brown eyes, and wore the hand me downs from his older brother Travis who is very close with Morgan. He had horrible eyesight and made up for it with the thick lenses in his…

Zambrano and Media, “A college education will help you meet these tougher job requirements” (“Advantages”). They are essentially saying that students who go to college will have a better chance at meeting these requirements than someone who only has a high school education. Another benefit that helps individuals seek out jobs is the connections with instructors. According to College View these “…strong connection[s] with instructors… give yourself an advantage when beginning the job seeking…

Grading System When schools first started, the motive was to provide vast knowledge to students. Along with starting schools, a certain standard was set centuries ago by scholars who thought that they need a way to evaluate the learning procedure of students based solely on letters or numbers given on the tests taken by students. Education system was based on judging the students instead of their creativity and uniqueness by various colleges, universities, graduate schools and employers. Similar…

past ten years there have been several issues pertaining to why school should start later in the day. Many parents, teachers, and board leaders have tried pushing the issues so that the start time will change, but not a whole lot has happened. There are schools in all fifty states that want to jump on board and start school later, so why not just do it? It’s way easier said than done.

The social vice takes several minor and major implications on the communal life especially for the weak and fragile students. Over the years, bullying is seen as a transitional part of school life to harden children on course of their academic studies. However, humanitarian activists stood against the act suggesting it hinders normal child development to adulthood (Sharp and Peter, p2). It may involve physical or mental torture, which eventually deters some developmental phase for children.…
