Prior Learning Assessment and Recognition (PLAR) has been a system under debate for some time between, businesses and corporations, and educational institutions. The idea of the program is to asses an adult students prior knowledge and equate it to an institutional credit should they decide to return to college or university. However, there have been challenges in determining a standard to which this system could be used in order fast-track ones degree, yet still maintain the quality of…

Though I did well in high school, I didn’t have a motivation to go to college. First, I was born in a country where college education is worthless without family contacts, and second, I didn’t realize the world I was living in and was lazy. I was lazy, never enjoyed studying, but did well in high school simply because I was constantly under pressure from my mother to do so. I was born in Georgia, the country in Eastern Europe. It was a part of the Soviet Union and suffered enormously when the…

achieving a college education: taking either online or traditional classes. I have experienced both online and traditional classes and have found they both have their benefits and drawbacks. I graduated high school twentieth in my class of one hundred and thirty-two students, from Whitesboro High School in the spring of 2008. The following fall, I started college at Grayson County College. At the time I was working full time at Lunar Golf at Midway Mall in Sherman Texas. So I felt that online…

High school is one of the most vital phases adolescents travel through on their journey to adulthood. Leaving this section of life incomplete by dropping out of high school is an extreme mistake that will haunt that person for the rest of his/her life. These people will suffer staggering economic issues, affect the country negatively, and jeopardize their future. Some may say that completing high school is an irrelevant task, yet that line of thinking is false and has destroyed lives. The…

Of all the aspects of high school, participating in sports is a mutual interest of the students. High school sports are events where students can showcase their talents, learn valuable life lessons, and stay active in their years of adolescence. “In The Case Against High School Sports,” Amanda Ripley argues that high school sports should be terminated because they are expensive and prioritized over education and safety. The author argues that high schools should get rid of sports because they…

Comparing Freemont High to Maryville High High school should be a place where teens feel comfortable, and to a certain extent, free to make their own decisions. At Freemont High School (FHS), Jonathan Kozol interviewed the students’ attendance, and all of them said this school was none of the things it is supposed to be. Though Maryville High School, a small town East Tennessee school, is extremely different than Freemont High School, an inner city school in Los Angeles, at first glance, the two…

The idea of a perfect school has always been a thought, but it’s never been executed. However, with that being said, I don’t think anybody has ever seen Columbia City High School as a perfect school, and they never will see it as a perfect school. With a few changes, the perception of Columbia City High School could be slightly better than it currently is. Columbia City High School’s routine day for some students includes extensive classes, incomplete homework assignments, repulsive lunches, and…

eat horrendous food. Students identify themselves as prisoners of high school: forced to learn, forced to do work they do not want to do, and worst of all, forced to eat disgusting food. Students are unsatisfied with the food available to them through the cafeterias. Because students are unhappy, they feel they should have the freedom to leave their school campus for a lunch break everyday. Most students refuse to eat at school simply out of protest. Students refusing to eat leads to negative…

reported being bullied in school.” Mainstream students in schools across the United States do not have daily interaction with the disabled students in their school, and this leads to mistreatment. I witnessed this first hand in the four years at my high school when observing the interactions between the two sets of students. Students with special needs are bullied in schools today due to a lack of education and inclusion with mainstream students; I propose if my high school were to start a club…
