A sixteen year old girl becomes a warrior when in 1954 the Supreme Court ruled Brown v. Board of Education; there Melba and eight other teenagers are chosen to integrate Little Rock’s Central High School. A warrior is a person who is brave or experienced solider or fighter. Young Melba had to become a warrior when walking into the battlefield of Central High School. Melba had the weapons of God, friends, and family; people who stood up for her and helped her through her hardships. “A girl smiled at me, another gave me directions, still another boy whispered the page I should turn to in our textbook. This is going to work out. It takes more time than I thought. But we’re going to have integration in Little Rock (Beals 117).”While being taunted by her schoolmates and their parents, threatened by mobs, attacked by lit sticks of dynamite, and wounded by acid sprayed in her eyes, however, she never backed down and became an unexpected hero to many. Thesis statement……………

If I was the principle of Metro High School I would use the four types of reinforcements to motivate the students to improve performance and attendance.* This change of policies would realisticly take place over long period of time with a good system of data collection and other types of control functions. It is also very important to have the parents of the children involve as much as possible.

When the Supreme Court ruled that nine teenagers would be chosen to integrate LIttle Rock’s Central High School, the citizens of Little Rock responded in many different ways. Most of the students at Central High School were very rude to the nine students and very few were kind to them. In the book there were many instances were the students were rude but one example was on page 72 when the nine students walked in the school most students were yelling very rude things to them.

Chamblee, GA is a small city outside of the metro Atlanta area that is characteristically different racially and ethnically than everything around it. The Hispanic population stands at 58.5% of the total population as of 2010, but in Atlanta and Georgia more broadly, this population only makes up 5.2% and 8.8% respectively. Additionally, only 7% of Chamblee’s population is Black, whereas this group is 54% of Atlanta’s population and 30.5% of Georgia’s. However, my alma mater, Chamblee Charter High School, stood out from the city itself being an amalgamation of a magnet program and a charter public school, bringing in students from around the county with significant representation from the Chamblee area as well. Consequently, the school’s

The school that I work in is located in Frederick, Maryland. We have nearly 800 students that attend Kindergarten through 5th grade, and with diverse backgrounds. The school is located in a very prosperous neighborhood, with several additional sections of townhomes and apartment complexes which house Section 8. All of these are within walking distance to the school. In Frederick County there are over 2,500 ELL students and more than 11,000 that are FARM (Free And Reduced Meals) students. Our graduation rate is superb with an over 93% graduation rate and a 3.5% dropout rate. This

Let’s imagine a school with small group classroom sizes, preparing students for college and careers after high school. Also with diverse AP and honor classes by creating a program to help aid students to learn about these classes and the benefits. Since they haven’t created a program to prevent students falling into the government system. In my eyes this is an ideal school that can help and benefit students and the future way of learning. Although Denver South High School is doing well in the areas of diversity and culture, south could improve on preparing students for future careers, enlightening students on the benefits of AP and honor courses provided at the school and also creating

Carolina High School, located in Greenville County, was established during the 1956-1957 school year as a 9th-12th grade public high school. With fourteen high schools in the district and over 72,000 students, Carolina High is the smallest. In 1995, Carolina High was selected as a magnet school where Pre-Engineering and Health Professions would be its focus and students from all over the school district could apply.

According to the 2010 Census, the community that Carolina serves has an average per capita income of $36,296 and a quarter of the families in the area reported an income of less than $15,000 per year. Over 20% of the population reported to have a single mother raising children in the home and 44% are considered renters instead of homeowners.

There are no words that can express my desire to end my last year of schooling at Wood-Ridge Junior Senior High School. Recently I was chosen to speak at a prospective student's event where I had to explain to an audience of parents why I loved being a W-R Blue Devil. Frankly, I was shocked with how much emotion and attachment I have towards W-R. I always have known that my years roamed around those halls would imprint in my mind forever, but I would have never thought of crying at the thought of exiting them for the last time. But as you can probably predict that is what occurred. I will write to you what I told the audience as I deem it relevant to our purpose. Wood-Ridge High School isn't Bergen Academies or in this case Pascack Valley. The fact is Wood-Ridge isn't simply a school to me. I don't even consider

When I was younger I went to El Dorado Elementary School. When I graduated In 2007 I then started homeschooling in the 6th grade, It was very different from public school. I had a teacher that was very nice and very patient with me, She knew that I was struggling with my work and I just could not understand why I wasn't able to do the work. I started to think that I had a learning disability or just wasn't smart. My teacher recommended an easier alternative which was online homeschooling. My parents thought it would work for me but unfortunately it didn't. I did this from 6th grade to the 12th grade. It made me lazy because I felt like I could always do my work later. Teachers would always called my parents to tell them that I wasn't doing

Spartanburg High is not what you think it can be as an eighth grader. If I knew this when I was in the 8th grade my freshman year could have been a lot better especially if I knew my way around the building more. I could also know about the requirements here at Spartanburg High such as the academics, behavior and the attendance. If I could warn upcoming 8th graders about the life at Spartanburg High, I would have mainly warn them about the requirements at the school, the building structure and also the involvement in school sports and clubs.

An interesting task I was given this week was breaking up a fight between two students. As a student at South Cobb High School, I have seen my fair share of fights; however, I have never participated in breaking up a fight before until now. I saw two students pushing and shoving each other violently and I sprung into action. I ran to the two boys and raised my voice and quickly separated the two. This was interesting because it was my first experience doing that. Another interesting task I was given was helping one of my autistic students fine a group during physical education. This student is very anti-social and needed my help. I had to look for the perfect group of students that I felt would be nice to him. It was interesting because I

I have spent about a half of a year at Northview High school. Going here was really frightening for me and I was really nervous about coming here. In this half of a year I have learned a lot and I am here to tell you some things you might need to know. One thing that you have probably heard is doing your homework. Yes, I know homework is boring but most of you grade is from homework assignments. Even if they are completion grades it still means something because missing a lot of homework can bring your grades down, and if you want to go to college you need good grades. Also, studying before tests can really help get a better grade and help you remember this information for you exams. Lastly, you should keep all of you notes that you take because
