Wahiawa, Oahu. The kids in my school were a little… mean. In the fifth grade, I met this girl. Her name was Angel, though she was in fact, a demon. Coincidentally, we both lived near each other, and near a beach. She tried to get me to hang out with her and her popular friends. The only thing is, I was never really destined for popularity. Her friend’s names were Shawna, and Alohilani(weird name though). We were hanging out at the same table during our class’s library time. I had my four books…

walks through the halls of his humongous school, those that surround him, his peers, don’t even acknowledge his existence. He easily blends in with the lockers, a technique he has spent years perfecting. Aiden is perfectly satisfied with his life. “One more year and then I’m off to college,” he says as he sits in the library doing homework during his seventh-period study hall. Before he knew it, the bell rang signaling the end of the school day. After school, Aiden walks along the storefronts…

you have to take the stairs.” (-unknown). There are many options in life, each with their own pros and cons. When it comes to colleges, larger schools have more significant benefits than smaller schools do. In this essay we will go over three main reasons large colleges are better than small colleges. The first, and most obvious advantage larger schools have is their vast amount of degree options. For example, Washburn University has 140 degree options, and only a few different fields…

From the very beginning of Francine Prose’s “I Know Why the Caged Bird Can’t Read”, the topic of her argument appears to be one concerned with the failing education system, contributed, in part, by the failure of teachers to effectively teach literature, focusing on the moral values that can be taken from a particular work rather than focusing on the actual literary content, and the lack of literary works that encourage a love of literature and are complex in nature. However, Prose’s arranging…

Schools across the nation attempt their best to ensure the quality of a student’s education is superior. One way is through the opportunity of participating in sports, fine arts, academic bowls, etc. Although, every student cannot afford the cost or schools cannot fully fund them, corporations are able to give financial assistance to multiple extracurriculars by corporate sponsorships. Consequently, schools feature their advertisement in any manner, whether that would be on a shirt or jersey, on…

Technology has drastically shaped our world and the way we live in it. Many jobs are now done with machines and education can reach those who are thousands of miles away. Blackboards are replaced with projectors, text books replaced with computers, and libraries are at your fingertips. Teachers can now show videos to explain concepts, which in many ways can improve a student’s comprehension, while also engaging their minds.

the classrooms. Every teacher knows state testing is important, but it is not more important than knowing how to read. My first critique is he works in Los Angeles where most of his students are poor and are minorities, so why does he assumes all schools are just like his? Another critique I have is his problem with sticky notes. I use them when I read, to take notes, or to remember a quote from a certain character. I have seen sticky notes do more good than cause harm. These notes can help…

If learners are unable to restructure their learning environment at home, they can access their course from a university or library computer. Learners must also ensure that they have…
