Student voice

that it is stupid.” Every student is a genius. Every student has an area of interest that they are passionate about. Far too many times students go from class to class, school day to school day never getting to explore areas of learning that interest them. Students are often passive in their learning as they take in information but do little to apply the information they have learned. Information is retained in order to pass the test but little is used beyond the classroom. What if students were able to pursue what they are most passionate about?

Although student voice is an important element to include throughout all the stages in one’s K12 education, it is essential to maintain and further develop in high school. Functioning student voice in high school is more important than ever so that teachers can instill in these young adults life-long skills, and encourage them to take control of their own education.

connect to Stephen King on a deeper level, and I have his writing to thank for this. How characters interact through dialogue reveals a lot about them, although they may not know it themselves. On page 86, King recalls the time the paperback rights to Carrie were bought. He received a large sum of money, which was more than enough to provide for his family. On this page, he uses dialogue to grab the reader's attention and voice his emotions. His use of dialogue is very effective here because…
