that training and re-training programmes should continue to be mounted to enhance the level of assessment practices of teachers. This is imperative as good quality assessment is desirable if the teaching and learning processes which take place in schools and colleges should yield good…

in the medical field and I would like to become a pediatric surgeon. As you may already know, pursuing this career requires almost a decade of education in and out of the classroom. This is an excellent way to take as many college classes in high school as I can so I can enjoy college and have an easier experience once enrolled as a full-time student. If I was to be accepted into this prestigious program I would work to the best of my abilities to be successful. The University of Alabama…

Someone once said, "Suffer the pain of discipline or suffer the pain of regret." This essentially means that discipline will be difficult to manage but it’s a finer choice than regretting your decisions later on. School can be difficult, but the pain of the self-command and devotion will get you much further in your education than lackadaisical and deprecate. It seems to me that future freshmen with a hard work ethic and commitment should attend Early College High School because it saves the…

Students’ behavior and discipline are major problems in school, because they can directly affect future society. So how can schools and parents deal with this issue? Schools…

We should be discussing four-day school weeks more often. We need to bring up the fact that school would be better with them. People need to know the opportunities that are waiting to be opened. It is already proven statistically that school’s academic success rate jumps up when making the switch. You also have a healthier community. We should not sacrifice the perks of switching because we are too scared to move from our roots. Making it legal is not a problem anymore. Half of the U.S. has made…

Today, schools are constantly noted that they resemble a prison in that both are meant to discipline and punish the students just like prisoners. People may believe such comparisons between schools and prisons is a wrong one since schools are teaching students and allowing them to achieve a bright future unlike prisons. The truth is both prisons and school have an immense power over their inhabitants, even without directly exercising it. Michel Foucault introduced an idea known as the…

are some schools banning it? Studies have shown the positive and negative effects of homework, and with a moderate amount, the positive effects outweigh the negative ones. Homework should not be banned, as it teaches discipline and time management skills, as well as supplements and accelerates learning. It is also needed in order to meet international education standards. Homework is important for numerous reasons, one of which being that it helps teach time management skills and discipline,…
