Ap Kid Analysis

It’s been a great three years of being mentored by you in speech, debate, and finally, AP English Language and Composition. Through those three years of rigorous public speaking and academically challenging work, I can say with sincerity that I am a different person. Now, I know tenfold of what I knew before of high fructose corn syrup, trigger locks, and IRCA. It’s been an unequivocal honor to have met someone with such an intellectual arsenal as you and I have to wonder if I’ll ever meet anyone as knowledgeable even in college. You fended off every single argument that either the Debate Team or the 14 member fifth period AP English coalition threw at you with such ease and class. Wherever you decide to go next, I have no doubt in my mind that you will have the same scintillating impact you had on Suffern High School. Be sure to hoist that Tampa Bay Rays banner proudly for all those poseur Yankee fans to see!

I really appreciated watching the documentary about Little Rock Central High School in class this week. “Little Rock Central High School is an accredited comprehensive public high school in Little Rock, Arkansas.” I had never hear about the school before or knew the history behind what happened many years ago. I cannot imagine what it must have felt like for African American kids to go school for the very first time with a bunch of white Americans who did not accept them at the time. Nine simple ordinary African American kids worked so hard to allow a chance for them to receive an education in a school that was not segregated. To think about how much bullying they went through and how much verbal and physical abuse they must have endured

My entire life, I have looked forward to math class; it has always made sense to me. Plugging numbers into an equation and solving for x always came easy to me. Outside of school, I enjoy reading. Easily, I could pick up a book and read the entire thing as time just flies by me. The books I don’t like to read are the ones that I am forced to read in a constricted amount of time. Before this year, I’ve never taken an honors English class; I was the smartest one in my CP class. I never challenged myself which is the reason I decided to take AP English. I didn’t put this on my schedule have my transcript look good, or to boost my GPA, I want to become a better writer. In 20 years, the skills I learn throughout this year will be more important

Every parent in the film has their own way to raise their children. In the second family (the one with the strict father while the mother doesn’t support the father’s decisions), the father were a bit an authoritarian parent because there’s little to no communication between he and his daughter. He wants her to be intelligent so, he offer so much structure that the child can only do is to agree and do the things that the father wants her to do such as reading the flashcards, learning words from foreign languages, etc. Cognition is all the mental activities associated with thinking, knowing, remembering, and communicating. Young infants lack object permanence and by 8 months, infants begin exhibiting memory for things no longer seen. (AP Psychology

In his article, Common Core is Rotten to the Core, Brian Farmer offers facts that support his opposing opinion on the recently implemented education standards called Common Core. Back in 2001, George Bush issued his education policy “No Child Left Behind” because the nation was thought to be at risk of a weak education system. It set high standards, thus failing to deliver lasting success. In 2007, the National Governors Association and the Council of Chief State School Officers started to work on a common set of standards in the math and English curriculums. The next year, in 2008, those same organizations, with the funding provided by the Gates Foundation, started a federal education grant program known as “Race to the Top”. In order for states to get the educational grant money, they had to commit to a set of standards that outlined what students have to know and must be able to do. Common Core also recently set out to realign state standard

The most difficult part of taking the Ap English Literature test was the essay section. Discerning a conversation between both characters in the test and formating a helpful prewrite made it difficult to write the essay with a paragraph per prompt given the 40 minute time limit that should be spent on each essay.

Common Core is a controversial topic, whose reach includes everywhere from the political arena to family dinner tables across America. There is a major dispute on whether Common Core is breaking or making education and whether parents should be allowing their children to opt out of testing. In 2009 state leaders, including governors and state commissioners of education, launched and developed the Common Core State Standards. Currently, 42 states including the District of Colombia have adopted the Common Core State Standards. Alaska, Texas, Oklahoma, Nebraska, Minnesota, Indiana and Virginia are the seven states that have not adopted Common Core (Boslaugh, 2015, para.2). Sarah Boslaugh is the author of the article “Common Core State Standards

1.The quadratic formula is to solve for x. The formula is x=-b +/-√b²-4ac\ 2a. It also helps solve the standard equation Ax²+bx+c=0.

Anyon provides an example that middle class teachers are not challenging their students. Teachers as well as parents suppress students to critically think.

What I gathered from the thoughts and facts of the 2014-2015 AP Statistics students, were explicit insights on how rigorous and demanding the class is going to expect from me. I understand my math background has not placed me at the best starting point for AP Statistics, but I also know that statistics is not like algebra. In Algebra I would spend hours after school trying to understand the material, only to receive little to no progress on the days a test. I recognize that in Statistics we will be given homework every day, but will not have it collected or graded all of the time, and acknowledge that it will take discipline, maturity, as well as self motivation to not fall behind and get it accomplished because in the end it could either set

I have been teaching AP Statistics for last five years. It is a college class that offers five college credits. I noticed with their PAL background, majority of these students are self-motivated and extremely committed towards their college goals. Every year I ask my advanced students, “how many of you attended PAL at elementary level” and a big majority will acknowledge attending this program. I asked my 2016-17 AP Statistics group about PAL program, and 45% acknowledged attending this program at WH and they also acknowledged attending more than one AP class this year. A lot of these kids are self-motivated and ready to accept new challenges on daily basis. I strongly believe that they adopted these skills from PAL program. These skills are

Hello, I’m glad to have you all here today. How about I introduce everyone to the “All-Around Kid” today? My full name is Andre’ Terrell Mills Jr., I was born here in the good life city of Albany, Georgia. I was born May 11th, 1997 on Mother’s Day which explains why I’m a momma’s boy. Moving along, while growing up I was fascinated by many things such as space, astronauts, drums, cartoons, and basketball. Even though these things intrigued my interests, I still did not know what I wanted to be when I got older. As I grew and grew, my interests matured as well as my thinking. With my improved thinking, by the age of seventeen I came to the conclusion of wanting to be a CEO of a major world company. At this age, The “All Around-Kid” has taken off in his thinking and is not looking back.

From an academic perspective, Ryan’s High School journey began in Middle School where he organized and planned his 4-year high school classes including summer classes which opened the door for many Advanced Classes (both Honors and AP). In Freshman year, he began by doubling in Mathematics and taking both Science and Mathematics honor classes. In Sophomore year, he took his first AP Class: Chemistry AP. By Senior Year, he has taken 7 AP Classes including AP Italian, AP Computer Science, AP Chemistry, AP Physics 1 and C, and AP Calculus BC . His determination in staying on course with his advanced studies, as well as, being a well-rounded student can be seen through his course selection, progress and both in the classroom and outside club activities.

Music has always been a vital part of my life. Having the ability to play musical instruments for others provides me with a sense of joy, which friends and family also experience when they listen to me play. I was nine years old when I first spoke about my passion to learn about music. My grandpa bought me my first instrument, a keyboard. I loved playing my keyboard, but my heart was drawn toward the drums. When I was eleven, my parents lost their sanity and their hearing because they bought me my first drum set at Christmas. As my knowledge of music increased, I contemplated pursuing a degree in music therapy leading to my mom purchasing a guitar for me at Christmas when I was fourteen. Of all the musical instruments I have been lucky enough

Music has the ability to profoundly impact one’s life. It is often used as a source of comfort, as a coping strategy, or for therapeutic purposes in times of loss, grief, and suffering (Hanser, Bogt, Van den Tol, Mark, & Vingerhoets, 2016, p. 122) . While it is apparent that many people utilize music to alleviate stress, experienced musicians are also exposed to a large number of stress factors, which could be damaging towards their mental health (Wristen, 2013, p. 21) . The findings of Voltmer et al. (2012) reinforced this idea, as their study observed that concert musicians had poorer mental health than the general public (p. 12). This research will investigate how music specific stressors affect a developing musician’s mental health. In
