Students' union

morning while students are in their chairs completing bell work. All the students have assigned chairs, so the teacher looks around the room and if there is an empty chair then she asked if any of the other students had seen that child today, encase the student is still at breakfast. If no-one had seen that student, then he/she is absent. The students turn in their completed work to the trays labeled on the teachers’ desk. Each tray is labeled a different subject, so the students know what…

burdening the middle class is the excessive amount of debt they bear when entering the workforce. One of the key components of this setback is the enormous amount of student loans many college students deal with immediately after college. Unfortunately, the government holds an effective monopoly on both college and university student loans. Enreneich also negatively comments on the rising cost of college by referring to a fictional university (Fleece U) in saying, “We [Fleece U] have just raised…

There was a scene in the film where the principle, Joe Clark, is walking around the cafeteria during a lunch period. He walks around checking on students and verbally correcting behavior. Clark spots a freshman trying to steal someone’s food and he immediately calls the student out. He does so in a loud manner that is heard not only by the particular student, but his surrounding peers. Clark tells the entire cafeteria to be quiet and begins to describe how the freshman does not have self-respect…

is a time of developing into a new person and creating memories that are everlasting.

On the other hand, for some students like myself, forming an identity is easy. It has been said that students enjoy leaving home, meeting new people, and experiencing life on their own without their…

level in order to provide their students with the proper material they need for their major. Creating a required curriculum that is interesting to students can be quite an arduous task. Curriculum descriptions attempt to appeal to students by making their general education requirements…

levels of education, from elementary school through university, grade inflation exists: too many students get too many A’s. I am not saying that no student should get A’s, but students have started to expect A’s, thinking a B is somehow “bad,” even though, in reality, a C is supposed to be average. In a nation where everyone is special and participation trophies are handed out like candy on Halloween, students see C’s as terrible failures, B’s as poor scores, and A’s as the only acceptable…

For the interview portion of exploring my major, I spoke at length with Grant William Rodgers. Grant and I met about a year ago when I was inducted into, Pi Kappa Alpha, the fraternity he had joined his sophomore year of college. Shortly after meeting, I realized that Grant and I had similar interests in our academic aspirations in that we were both pursuing a Bachelor of Science degree in Business Management and he was in the in the Walker School of Business, and I was working my way there.…

University, William Zinsser describes the different amount of pressures that students struggle with in college in his essay, “College Pressures”.
