“Education is not preparation for life; Education is life itself.” John Dewey. What is education? What is that we have learned? Why is it relevant in our everyday lives? I think that John Dewey said it well in his quote. That all life revolves around education. Every day no matter what you do you are somehow educating yourself. Whether you’re still in school or not, everything is full of education. Even the ridiculous tabloids in grocery aisles can teach you something. Education is something…

In secondary one, many of us are nervous to be going to high school and being with others that we weren’t necessarily with in elementary school. For me, though, it wasn’t the case; most of the graduating class from my elementary school also came to my high school. I was in a special program, The Accelerated Learning Program, with 29 other students from all over Laval. There were three others that came to my elementary school who were also in the program, one of them being my best friend now. The…

The Belton School District would benefit greatly from an alternative education program. Currently the Belton High School offers a credit recovery class, where students who are struggling can take or retake courses online. While the credit recovery program has shown to benefit some, its impact is not adequate. An alternative education program would be necessary for all K-12 students in the Belton School District. Alternative education is more than just sitting a student behind a computer.…

recently decided that I wanted to go to college and get a job that I want. I know that I will be in debt for a while, but hopefully and eventually I will get out of debt. Debt is the most common thing for college students. I think that going to college straight after high school when it begin to start that my mind will be fresh from all the good facts. It’s very hard to decide what I want to go to college for. My biggest worry is that I will go to college and change my major and not proceed what…

Fall approached I ended up attending a community college, humiliation and sorrow filled me when I found out that I would be going there due to my indecisiveness to pick another school. For me, there was no “choice”, there was only one school. Unfortunately, the school didn’t feel the same way about me as I did for it. Like a one side relationship, I was the only one who felt the love. I was embarrassed when I first started attending the community college, and I felt as though I was still in…

In “5 Reasons Why College is Still Worth it” Reyna Gobel acknowledges that students have to do intense scholarship and grant searches as early on as freshman year of high school, in order to have an idea of what they have to do academically and in the community to earn scholarship…

Is the cost of college becoming too much to the point where it outweighs the benefits of the education itself? Throughout the decades a college education has gained many benefits and is considered by the majority to be the next logical step in life after high school. College nowadays is seen as a necessity, students coming straight out of high school are pressured by guidance counselors and other authoritative figures to make college the next step. All because it is said that with this higher…

Going to college has become the new trend and its attendance has been increasing for quite some time now. Everybody is doing it—yes, that includes women, minorities, and all social classes. In the United States, we have a variety of college types that can be attended for all different types of people and educational opportunities. What I am going to discuss is if there is really a “better option” of the type of school everyone should be aiming to go to. Which college, a community college,…
