Collegiate Preparatory High School

Ravitch uses this fact to express to the reader that if a school focuses all of its valuable time on the only subjects they are being tested on and neglects other subjects, they still look like a stellar school on paper while disregarding certain subjects. This also adequately builds her ethos. Using true facts and evidence proves to her reader that she is trustworthy and believable. Nevertheless, these facts effectively build Ravitch’s argument by showing parents that this is not the education that they should desire for their children; it leaves an impact on the reader and makes them think about their own education or the education that their children are receiving. Overall, Ravitch’s use of factual information aids in building her argument.

High School is an incredibly important period of life. It influences your social, academic, and personal life for four years, and prepares you for college and a career. This is the reason County Prep High School is my school of choice. County Prep's thriving social environment, challenging academic curriculum, and wide variety of electives will help me successfully carry out my plans for the future.

I was a little thrown off with this explanation of teaching professionals, “Now that these professions are much more open to women, we have come to accept that pre-college teachers will, on the whole (and with admirable exceptions), be our less successful students.” (Par. #8) I could not understand why this point was in the context, I didn’t get the connection between this and the point that he’s trying to convey. After reading the article several times, I finally came up with my own interpretation of it, I think he means that since less students would be going to college, less college professors would be needed, therefore more money available to provide a better incentive to the new teachers recruited after a vigorous search for high school educators.

Early College High Schools (ECHS) are innovative high schools that allow students least likely to attend college an opportunity to earn a high school diploma and 60 college credit hours. Early College High Schools:

I would like to become an active member of Carrboro High School National Honor Society, because I am looking forward to the opportunity to serve and improve the community with other like-minded students. I believe it is important to balance academics, athletics, and community service. For example, this year I am taking 5 AP classes, running cross-country and track, and have spent almost 150 hours volunteering in the community. The first time I volunteered was when I raised a diabetic alert dog with my family. Even though I was sad to see the dog I had raised go, it was a rewarding experience because I knew that the dog would help someone have a better life. Anytime I can find an opportunity to both improve myself and the community, I won’t hesitate to seize it. I found the opportunity to do just that at both Shodor and CHCCS Project Graduation.

Being a senior in high school has showed me many problems with my school. I have had both good and bad experiences so far. Most situations are not as extreme as they were at Fremont High School. With that being said, some problems with my high school might surprise you.

Samuel Clemens High School was established during the 1890’s, but it wasn’t always as nice, big, and crowded as it is now.

The reason why County prep is my school of choice is because, It's a Safe community, and has more than one opportunity for me, I believe it will provide a challenge for me. I also want to go there because of their academics in teaching, and many students that attended County Prep will agree with me.

The students at Summit Charter Collegiate Academy, also known as SCCA, are bright young students with potential to make their future an outstanding work of art. They are students who are serious about their education and will do anything to get to the highest pinnacle in life. But besides being determined and solemn scholars, they are still only teenagers in high school who just want to have fun. The culture at SCCA lacks fun, excitement, and freedom, and the main reason for that is because of the Burton School District that runs the facility. There needs to be some changes in the Burton School District and in the culture of SCCA.

The first day of school is a book just opened with the story yet to unfold. My story starts in a new unfamiliar place. It was intimidating to walk into the halls of Larned High School. Coming from a school of 80 students to a school of over 300 students was a massive change.

The Supreme Court is the highest federal court in the United States of America. It was implemented in 1789. It consists of 9 jurors and one of them being the Chief of Justice. The president of the United States recommandes who gets a position on the Supreme Court. The Supreme Court not only has the power to take federal cases but also has the ability to declare the executive or legislative branch actions constitutional or unconstitutional which is also known as judicial review. The Supreme Court took upon the cases Brown v. Board of Education and Heart of Atlanta Motel v. US. According to these cases, the Supreme Court does not concur with the idea of segregation in America.

Four years…it can’t be that hard right? A handful of teenagers have little to no problem fitting right into the high school routine, their friends come naturally and so does popularity. What most outsiders don’t see is the peer pressure, broken relationship, and distress most students go through in order to maintain a social status within the high school domain. My goal for this project wasn't to inform students about the struggles that high school brings forth, the goal for me was to help students through not only my experience but the experiences of my friends and upper classmen. The actual product which came from this project has met and exceeded my goal of not only informing people about the daily struggles high school students are forced to undertake but guiding fellow students with our own experience

Additionally, Young’s article clearly lacks opposing viewpoints presented. Overall, the article offers only information and statistics supporting his argument. No attempt to offer a different opinion is visible, leading to a weaker and less credible article. The biased language throughout from “positive alternative” to “impressive” and “high-quality education,” clearly establishes Young’s biased viewpoint

Saint Martin de Porres High School in Cleveland, Ohio is a co-ed catholic college preparatory institution on a mission to provide a quality education and invaluable work experience to inner city youth. The vision Saint Martin de Porres High School has for each student is to attend a college or university. Thus far their goal has been achieved; however the school does not guarantee your student a baccalaureate degree. Saint Martin students usually fall under the category of first-generation college students. Their lack of knowledge and experience about higher education sets them at a disadvantage when it comes to academic success and graduation completion. Formal research has yet to be conducted on the success of Saint Martin de Porres High School students. Due to personal ties with Saint Martin de Porres High School, it is necessary to look into these issues to preserve the longevity of Saint Martin and to ensure the success of its graduates beyond high school graduation.

I found counseling approaches to me the most important lesson in module 7. During this module the class watched two clips from the movie 12 O’clock High. At first when I watched the clips I was focused on the different leadership styles and their immediate effect on the unit. As I watched them again, I started to focus more in on the counseling approaches taken by the varying leaders. While I could understand the combined approach taken by General Pritchard in the first clip, I struggled to understand the need for the directive approach displayed by General Savage in the second clip. I understood that the person in charge was displaying laissez-faire, but I’ve never personally been in a scenario where I had to take a directive approach to reach my
