School library

high school’s in the 1900’s and high school’s now are distinctly different. Technology has been recently updating over time. Schools are now expected to be recently updated within their technology area. Some rules have been modified and others have become more strict. Three differences between schools now and schools then are technology, resources, and rules. Public schools in the 1900’s typically ended in the eighth grade to graduate. Students and teachers in the 1900’s actually communicated…

I have heard of the encyclopedia, but I have never actually seen it and I was unaware that the encyclopedia had an online website. After my observation at Bangor High School, I decided to look more closely to Britannica and I was pleasantly surprised how well the encyclopedia was set up. Britannica has some similarities to Wikipedia, but it seems to be better set up and more reliable. I have always used Wikipedia with…

safety and the go to refugee camps. Others read in an underground library because it is safer than above ground. Most of them use reading as a way to distract themselves for the constant fighting. All in all the way Syrians live their lives is much different than the way we live ours. Throughout daily life, Syrians face harsh conditions. According to “Syria’s Secret Library” by Mike Thompson, students with the privilege to go to school have to study in cramped spaces, they are rarely giving the…

Finally, schools could create an excellent learning atmosphere for the students. For example, school violence happens so frequently that students start to concern about their physical health. The first thing for school administrators is to create a safe environment that students will not be harmed in the school. Besides, American school can introduce more cultural programs and make full use of the library resources. In the light of the performance of students, school administrators should pay…

opportunity that allows “ students to extend high school by one year in order to earn both their diploma and up to 62 college credits from Muskegon Community College (MCC) at no cost to the student.” To me, the opportunity provided by mcc would help me achieve my goal of obtaining a phD in astrophysics. To be able to have earned an associate's degree will put me ahead of other students in both time, money, and college experience. Both in school and in my personal time i am a creative…

and otherwise busy schedule. Thus, I would like to propose that the school install a few stationary desk-bikes to provide an area for both light exercise and study at the same time in the library. Problem: Most students already know that exercise is beneficial (ie allows more blood flow to the brain, reduces stress, etc.), yet merely 29% of high school students exercised for at least seven hours a week in 2013 (Healthy Schools). The CDC (Centers for Disease Control and prevention) even states…

Textual Analysis of Richard Rodriguez’s: The Achievement of Desire In the 1990’s Mary Louise Pratt gave an impactful and inspiring lecture on education and how it’s archaic ways needed to be changed. Pratt, being a representative of the MLA, (Modern Language Association) gave her credibility among the academic community. She began her lecture with a brief introduction involving her son, Sam. Sam’s fascination with Baseball jumpstarted his education; it taught him critical skills during the…

Corporate ads can be found in almost any situation. From billboards and commercials to now advertising in schools and on students’ uniforms, there had been a debate on whether or not those companies are having too large of an impact on students. Should schools allow corporate ads to help fund different things for their students? We all know that running a school takes a lot of money and to help schools become better at educating kids, they need even more money. Sometimes they don’t have enough…

The Glass Castle and To Kill a Mockingbird, parents give the argument that the language and ideas portrayed are inappropriate. In contrast, the American Library Association and the Library of Congress argue that all books have something that can be learned from them. Literature is frequently banned and/or challenged by churches, parents, schools and teachers for being sexually explicit, violent, containing explicit language or for going against the moral views of said banner, however; some…
