Carl Sun was once an above average high school student. She was always known for getting straight A’s and nothing lower. But little did she know, the…

was. One day my life took a dramatic turn. At the time I failed to see how much my life would truly be affected in all the days to come. I was a relatively healthy teenager when everything began to change. In the beginning of 2013 I began tenth grade, just as any average high school student would. Yet by the end of that very year, I realized I no longer fit into the quo of a “typical high school teenager”. It began as a simple pounding, a painful pulse throughout my head. It felt as if someone…

ago we thought test scores were the answer to everything. We’re offering a way to focus on the right metrics.” said Aaron Feuer, Panorama’s co-founder and chief executive. Students spend most of the time with their teachers so why not have students grade their teachers. Studies show that poor school environments are strongly linked to poor test scores, low graduation rates, low attendance rates, and student disconnection.

Should Students Get Paid For Good Grades? As a young boy growing up in a ghetto neighbourhood, I hung out with the wrong people. I never gave a crap about school and as a result, my education paid for it. I FAILED kindergarten and early grade school. Homework was tossed in the trash the moment I got it and test papers were left blank. I didn’t even know how to spell my name. I hung out with kids years older than I and girls flocked to like I was the hot shit. My poor parents, desperate to…

way too much and at a rate of 100 words per second. That is way faster than we can type. She also uses her students in class to grade papers and essays.
