When I started this class this pass September I had a little knowledge of psychology. In my junior year of high school I took Psychology as an elective class. I really enjoy it alot, it amaze me how much there was to know about our brains. This September I came with the feeling that this psychology class was going to be way different from my psychology class from high school. And that my knowledge from my class before wasn’t going to be useful at all. But I was wrong, this class has actually been
While getting ready to observe my first class at Upper Moreland High School I was excited to see a new classroom climate through objective eyes that I may not have used before. I would be observing a teacher with fifteen years of teaching experience and is looked at as a prominent member of the music department. Although we have worked together for four years I have never been able to see him teach and was excited about this opportunity. When I approached this teacher he was hesitant, much like

Anyon’s essay “From Social Class And The Hidden Curriculum Of Work”, she explains and talks about the four levels of education. According to Jean Anyon, the four levels of education are the Working-Class School, Middle-Class School, Affluent Professional School, and Executive Elite School. From my experience, I attended a working-class school named Santa Ana High School located in a low income and high crime neighborhood of the city of Santa Ana, CA. In the author’s words, a working-class school is,
In four years, high school students gain information from various subject areas that help them towards preparing them for college. An important method used to check the learning levels of students is in-class tests. These timed tests are given periodically to show how well students are learning from each academic subject. However, there is a question of whether in-class tests actually help high school students prepare for advanced college work. As research, I conducted a survey on a sample of college
Sitting scrunched up in my chair, nearly hiding behind my laptop, I lowered my head at the sight of my teacher walking into class. I was thinking of two things that I despised: writing and my teacher. In high school my view of writing was drastically influenced by my freshman year English teacher, Mr. Kelly.

remember from my high school career, the essays that were assigned in my English class were based on the narratives, poetries and passages that were read in class. We would be assigned books and passages that our teacher would give us and write about what the author was trying to explain throughout his story. We would also have to compared and contrast different poems. The different kinds of writing assignments that I had to do in my high school English class were based on narrative essays, descriptive
experience. At my school, Central High School, they had the 9th graders separated from the rest of the high schoolers. But that wasn’t my problem I had to go to a completely different school system, Russell County School system, they had all the grades combined. Russell County also wasn’t very known for a good curriculum. Central’s curriculum was more advanced than them.

Coming out of high school from one of the most prestigious, well-known schools in the nation, gave me an ambiguous amount of certainty to receiving an A in her class. Before beginning my journey in college, Jesuit, which was a college preparatory high school, gave mandatory four-year English courses to every student.
