The Best Years

Bullying 101; an untold story It’s the end of our 6th grade year, we can’t wait to be in 7th grade and at the junior high! Meeting friends at our lockers in between class, getting out earlier, and even being treated like we are more mature, it was all going to be so great; or so I thought. It was around the middle of my 7th grade year that I found out how much bullying can break you down. As things started out it was just small talk, calling me a whore, or ugly but I could simply ignore this.…

Test should be weighted them most at 50%, daily grades and quizzes should weigh 40%, and class participation should be 10%. There should be at two to three test grades in a grading period and…

Initially SSR termed for a school-wide daily reading time for students in which reading material was not monitored nor were students evaluated on their reading.

So, about three years ago, during fifth grade in my elementary school, my friend and I decided to break the rules. Whenever I think back to this event I realize how foolish I was when I was eleven years old. I had just moved to San Diego, so this was my first year at this new school. It didn’t take long before I made new friends. But once I had my “friend group” I would follow them around during the breaks. They had been at this school since kindergarten and they knew all the secrets, and rumors…

They came up with this theory at the University of Utrecht in the year 1957. The Van Hiele’s did multiple research experiments and it took years for them to complete this thesis.

The Standards were enacted to create a set of college-and-career-ready curriculums to follow for kindergarten through grade twelve. Presently, 42 states and the District of Columbia have agreed to implement the standards in their schools with the hope of creating college and career ready students by the time they are supposed to graduate high school. The creation of these standards has created a…

hated being asked what I wanted to be when I grew up when I was in elementary school. Back then, I had no idea what I wanted to be when I grew up, but that always seemed to be a popular question. Why would people think we knew what we wanted to be years later? It just never made sense to me, but here is my life changing situation that decided my career options.…
