School Shootings We never thought that a day would come where parents would be weeping over their child’s death, and such little hands could hold such a weapon that determines if a person lives or not. School shootings are on the rise more than ever in today’s society. We imagine school to be a place where we make new friends, learn about our society and gain an education. We all picture a safe place where our future all begins. Lately we often ask ourselves why do high school shootings occur and
Good evening to everyone and thanks President Rob for giving me the opportunity to have this last presentation about my exchange year in Australia. One year has gone, and I can admit that many things happened but I couldn’t be happier about it.

Life as a middle school student will be totally different from the high school life. These are two different things and way more things will be expected from each and every student now that we are in high school.

Most people think that it is pressure to do drugs or drink, but this is not the only form. Most people now feel pressured to look good, follow the trends, and listen to what the “popular kids” have to say.

Entertainment for Bored College Students”. Edmundson believes liberal education is declining due to students losing passion and colleges selling students what they want: a good time. Edmundson is an English professor at the University of Virginia. He begins his argument with a discussion of class evaluations. He fears the results will be lackluster, just fine, nothing special.

Should Students Decide What We Learn These days Students start to complain more and more about how much they have to Study in School and how much Homework they have to finish in a short time. They think that they learn things that they will never use in the future. They want to chose what courses they take and how much they actually do during the class and the amount homework they get.
