with in order to be well-informed citizens since its study “can raise the level of sophistication at which a person interprets what he/she sees in ordinary life, in which theorems are scarce and uncertainty is everywhere” (Cambridge Conference on School Mathematics, 1963, p.70; as cited in Jones, 2004). Since “[T]here is perhaps no other branch of the mathematical sciences that is as important for all students, college bound or not, as probability and statistics” (Shaughnessy, 1992, p. 466,…

Applying for a Farm Bureau Scholarship Some kids play sports in high school. Others march in the band, star in school plays, or join the healthcare career training program. Me, I didn’t do any of those things, because, after middle school, I made the decision to devote my life and career to help better the industry of agriculture in the future. Thus, I didn’t spend my afternoons out on the field or on the stage in high school, I spent mine in barns, animal pens, and classrooms, as an avid…

It is the first day of school and sally looks at her schedule, and she sees that her first class is band class. So she then goes to her class and is asked what instrument she wants to play upon arrival. She wants to play something that looks cool and that has cool pieces in music; therefore, she looks at the drums, clarinets, flutes, and trumpets. As she believes that these instruments are the most important and coolest looking, because she has seen and heard them before in concerts. Even so, is…

During this time most schools only taught singing, piano, and theory. With the creation of the Academy of Music in Boston many of the tune books, textbooks, and study text that we still use today. Some of the famous music educators and authors of theses books would include Samuel Holyoke, Francis Hopkinson, William Billings, and Oliver Holden. As music became more and more popular many of the school started adding in music programs for all levels and by the year 1864 public school around the…

My Beloved community essay. Small town Alpena is pretty great by itself. We have great things to do in Alpena like walk the pier, go to the movie theater, attending public band recitals, and going to summer movie nights at the band shell. Alpena isn’t recognized enough for Thunder Bay. Thunder Bay has so much history and importance back then that the city should recognize that. Alpena should also have more things for kids and teens to participate in. I consider that is why some people are…

that encompassed my life popped in an instant when I transferred to middle school. For instance, the social expectations and the need to make friends consumed the people that used to be my friends and changed them completely. Several students always believed that self-worth came with the people that surrounded them. Other people that wanted some alone time instantly turned strange in others eyes. The flow of middle school life easily changed any type of person, but I tried to go against it with…

High school and middle school. The two types of schools seem so similar; huge building, older students, alternating classes, more responsibility. Everyone will go to middle school and high school, it is up to them if they finish. High school is a very talked about topic, being a major basis for movies and teenagers lives. These schools seem to have many similarities, however, they have many differences. These difference range from class size to sports. In the following paragraphs, I will be…

and alcohol and the Texas Commission on Drug and Alcohol Abuse organization said, “Secondary students who participated in band or orchestra reported the lowest lifetime and current use of all substances (alcohol, tobacco, illicit drugs)”. Music not only helps students with music but with becoming a person of character. It took a lot of work to get music education into schools and it will take a lot of work to keep it there however it is essential for a student’s education. Music Education is not…

is in school, jobs, sports and even communicating with others. A study has shown that it is decreasing greatly. As a result of that, an argument has arose whether we should start teaching it in schools or not. Although “creativity is the No. 1 leadership competency of the future,” I believe that it cannot be taught and it would not be a good idea in school. Economically, it would be very expensive and out of many schools’ budget. Later in life, we need a lot more than being creative. Schools…

away. Today more than 1.3 million elementary students fail to get any music instruction,including 800,000 secondary school students (Walker). I believe that schools should keep the Fine Arts to teach the students music,art,and how to do those. First of all the main reason for Fine Arts going away is budget cuts,budget cuts have been hurting the fine arts program because more schools want sports to stay the top priority (Dickson). For my experience,we had art for kindergarten until 1st grade when…
