Anna Morden High School Case Study

Last year, at Kingsland High School’s Graduation Ceremony, Josie Hinze not only receiveed her High School Diploma, but also her Associates of Arts Degree before even attending any college or university. Fast-forward to one year later, and seven Kingsland students will be graduating high school with both their High School Diploma and AA Degree thanks to the collaboration of Riverland Community College and Kingsland High School for allowing high school students to take college-level courses in high school and receive college credit for them. Not only that, but there are several others who will be graduating Kingsland High School with transferrable college credit so their first few semesters might

I entered Clara Barton High School of Health Professions in September 2008. This school was widely popular because of its prestigious Licensed Practical Nursing program. The four years of high school was very challenging. When I graduated in June of 2012, I was more than relieved. I was an LPN at the age of 17. Shortly after, a whirlwind of mishaps occurred.

On February 22, 2016, I was assigned this case for follow up. I was assigned a second case on February 24, 2016. The person involved in both investigations is Ms. Kassidy Pullara a fourteen year old T.C. Williams High School student. I contacted Doris L. Stanley (Guardian) and was granted access at school to interview Kassidy Pullara in school.

The current trimester system needs to change because it will allow families to take vacations together. Since we are the only high school in the area on trimesters, my family cannot go on a trip for spring break together. My sister attends Dunlap High School. Due to our difference in schedule, our break times differ as well. If Notre Dame switched to semesters, my entire family would be able to go out of town at the same time.

Thirty–nine members of Mrs. Penny Oss’ morning English classes at McAlester High School recently traveled to Tulsa to tour Tulsa Community College—SE campus. TCC is one of the best values among Oklahoma’s state–supported colleges and universities. TCC has four campuses in Tulsa. McAlester GEAR UP students toured the Southeast campus, encircling a landscaped green space and campus ponds. There are nine buildings on the TCC–SE campus. What makes the campus unique is that the buildings are connected by a series of sky bridges seamlessly tying the campus together.

At East Granby High School, there are no honor codes or a system that would cultivate integrity and prevent cheating and plagiarizing. This is troubling because cheating and plagiarizing play a large role in the school’s community. For example, some teachers have had to make different versions of tests to prevent cheating in the classroom. By establishing a system in which students would have to sign a statement ensuring that they would not cheat, steal, or plagiarize on any of their assignments at the beginning of each quarter, the community as a whole would benefit through the maintaining of the honesty of more of the student body. Even though honor codes would not eliminate dishonorable behavior entirely, the act of signing a statement would make those who cheat or plagiarize understand the reality of their actions. Furthermore, the principles within the system could explain the punishments that would be administered for the violating of the established code. The student body at East Granby High School would benefit from the formation of an honor system that would provide rules that made it clear that cheating, stealing, and

The science test you’ve been dreading has finally come to haunt you. You walk in, and the teacher routinely reminds you of the weight of the test on your grade, 80%. The teacher hands out the test and you blankly stare at the questions that can either build up, or destroy your grade. Unconformities?! What are they? Scrolling through the pages, you finally find some questions you know. The teacher announces that there are only 5 minutes left before you must turn your answers in. In a hurry, you halfheartedly guess most of the test, hoping that you get lucky. Days pass, and you receive your final grade for the test. Next to your score you see an F in bright red. Frantically, you race to the computers to check your overall grade. You log on only to see a perfectly stable B+ plummet down to a D. On the bus home, you are tense, assured that your parents have seen the obvious drop. Walking through the door, your mom asks “How’d the test go?” Stammering, you reply with “Er--well that's a long story”. Confused she asks for the test, and you wearily hand it over. You immediately see the disappointment in your mom’s face as she flips throughout the pages. Your punishment was groundation, and after your mom lectures you, she walks out. You think for a while, and realize that you could’ve prevented all of this if you simply studied instead of playing that game for longer.

Then the mother started bringing her straight to the class and my colleague would receive her, still the girl was totally unwilling to enter the class. She stood just before the door crying inconsolably resisting any help until she was too tired with crying and eventually, exhausted, would take her

This jeopardy proves that grade manipulation is not fixing anything, but inflating everything. There needs to be a return to the basics of grading. This

Once upon a time there was a little girl named Connie who had a harsh time. Lots and lots of people tried to help her, but they didn’t seem to have any improvement. All Connie was doing was trying to bring her grades up. Connie really could not handle the pace of learning. Mrs.Kiln was her teacher, but she didn’t know how to make Connie learn faster. Mrs.Kiln and Connie knew her grades were going down at a fast pace. At home, she was studying very hard on the computer. On the next day, she met Mr.Eli, he was going to help Connie on her studies. Also, he would say her grades if she asked. When she came to school, she also had a test. Her simple test was: “Okay students, now you have to write a sentence in

Tatum high school's motto is that “ Where every student is special”. If every student is special then the money received to Tatum should be benefited/put into the kids. If our school received a large cash gift, The school should save and spend it on getting the students upgraded food ,and upgraded the student transportation to best benefit the student population.

Sharing this information today and then hearing your opinions; better understanding of the grading system employed in America.

Teachers have always used grades to measure the amount a student has learned. This practice is becoming ineffective. Many students have a wide range of grades, which show that grades may not show what a student really knows. Therefore, the standard grading system should be replaced. Some reasons why grades should be replaced are bad grades can hinder a child’s performance, grades define who a student is in the classroom, and grades are not an effective way to see if students have learned the material. The current grading system should be upgraded and every school should incorporate the plus/minus system in their method of grading.
