Twelfth grade

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. Poor school environments include low levels of teacher enjoyment, high…

created you. You are a plague worse than the Black Death and it needs to be cured quickly. I was very fond of math when I was young. I actually understood it. As the years went by, you got more and more difficult. Then it happened; in the seventh grade, I had my worst…

first grade. My first-grade teacher was Ms. Young. Every Friday, all the teachers would come together to have story time. They would take turns reading the children a book. One day a teacher would read a book one Friday; the other teacher would read the next Friday and so on. I would…

What is a leader? Is a tyrant like Gengis Khan, a "Mongolian warrior and ruler... [he] created the largest empire in the world..., by destroying individual tribes in Northeast Asia."He fiercly lead his people into battle, and he stopped at nothing that got in his way. Or, is it someone like Queen Elizabeth I, who "was able to choose excellent advisors and statesmen, but was not being dominated by them. [She] was firmly in control of all major policies and England prospered under a stable…

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. She doesn't read students’ paper which they worked on for hours on end. We understand that sometimes teachers do not have time to read 500 essays during a certain time period. That does not justify using students to grade students papers including their own papers. That is a bias grading system that does not teach students since they don’t get…

reinstating me for the summer 2017 semester. I take full responsibility for my poor academic performance. I entered the fall 2013 semester of college with the mindset of a high school student, still expecting teachers to push me in maintaining my grades. I didn’t take my classes as seriously as I should have. I ended up passing one class which deeply hurt my G.P.A. I was not proud of my actions this first semester. I decided…

lesson, or moral and explain how it is conveyed through key details in the text.

Third grades should be able to determine the meaning of words and phrases as they are used in a text, distinguishing literal form nonliteral language. They also need to be able to distinguish their own point of view from that of the narrator or those of the…
