Three-tier education

leaves had disappeared beneath the snow, quite like my old self had disappeared beneath my new self. It was December and, I had always hated the winter months. That winter was supposed to bring record-breaking cold weather, and living in northern Illinois meant frostbite galore. All I did those days was sit in a box (I’ve called school) for eight hours, and get home with eight more hours of homework. At least I had homework to get my mind off of it, at least for a little while I could still be sane. Emerson Catholic High School was not so terrible, but I came into it from a public middle school, and it was not like everyone was in the same boat because all of the private school kids knew each other from years and years of private, Catholic education. I was not Catholic either, so at first I did not know any of the prayers they were saying, but I caught on. Eventually I acted like I was a Catholic to fit in, when really I was just a Christian, curious as to how their lifestyle was. Yeah, high school was an interesting ride. Going back to school on a Monday was almost as…

As I walked through the front doors of Allentown Central Catholic High School, I felt a sudden rush of panic. Everything I had once seen and had once been familiar with in middle school quickly vanished into thin air. I was terrified, not because I thought I was going to get lost, but because I knew that every little quiz I took, every little paper I wrote, and every exam I labored over would now count toward my ultimate goal of getting into a prestigious university. I wasn’t scared of new…

In my interview the subject I chose was my cousin, whose name shall remain anonymous. The subject, a 12 year old girl, currently attends a public junior high school and is in the seventh grade. It should also be noted that this is the subjects first year in junior high school. She does not suffer from personal issues that may produce bias and retains good grades. She also does not regard herself as part of “the popular crowd.” The interview with the subject lasted approximately 30 minutes, and…

Someone who’s been there a while, and understands how the school dynamic works and functions, and how best to teach and guide students there. I’d also like to continue to read my subscriptions to education blogs that are written by teachers, and gain advice from them. I plan to take extra courses whenever possible, to stay on top of new practices and techniques and to learn more effective ways to enhance my own teaching. Also, most of my family members on my father’s side are teachers, and I’d…

So the first school I looked into was a Riverview Junior High School, this school is part of the Murray School District. The website for this school was very basic, which I think is much better than having too many things that can overwhelm people with too much information. It is a clean look and makes it easy for parents who are looking to find out information. One thing that I really liked that I found was that the school offers what’s called plus time. Plus time is a 25 minute block of time…

The middle school is a school organization containing grades six to eight, and sometimes fifth that places an emphasis on creating a student-centered learning environment. Professionals within middle schools should strive to provide students with a curriculum that is integrative, challenging, and relevant via flexible scheduling, advisor-advisee programs, and teaming. Teaming with members of the faculty, the students’ families, and the members of the community is an important component to…

destiny. Here we can see the relation of fate and free will, and how free will is merely a turn on the path of fate. However, when Macbeth decides that he does not like what fate has in store for Banquo 's children he becomes arrogant and tries to challenge and defeat fate.In ‘Macbeth’ one can see how the struggle between fate and free will is a battle where all sides lose. The way Macbeth reacts to fate, shows us how humans are easily drawn in by the charms of fate however the desire for…

true for all aspects of life, spanning eons of time-- even as far back as Shakespearean-era England. British literature is rich and diverse, but the idea of truth weaves its way into numerous novels, plays, and essays. In Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein and Shakespeare’s Macbeth, the truth harms characters once they accept it as fact. The title of Shakespeare’s play may read Macbeth, but the tyrannical king is not the only character affected by the weird sisters’ predictions. Banquo hears of…

2. Written answers to the following questions: a. Who am I? (think rank, age, gender, etc, not just character name) I all three of the witches. I am probably between the ages of 20-30 years old. My gender is mysterious to other characters for example, in Act Three Scene One, Banquo says to the witches “Upon your skinny lips. You should be woman, and yet your beards forbid me to interpret that you are so.” Because of the witches unsettle gender appearance Banquo and other characters are unsure if…
