Extending Education System

Botstein starts his argument by stating the various parts of the high school experience that are harmful and pointless to students. The first is the “untouchable” category which consists of coaches and high school athletes whose exclusive ranking is based off of the team’s success rather than their own educational achievements. Secondly, Botstein addresses teachers and curriculum that “hold so little sway” over the minds and attitudes of students, since the average student is constantly worried about growing up, popularity, and their friend groups. Next, Botstein claims that the “primary reason” high schools are flawed and broken is that the teens in the twentieth century era are maturing “substantially earlier” than in the past decades. Lastly, Botstein develops a new method for teenager’s education experience by eliminating the 10th through 12th grades, permanently making high school obsolete. If Botstein’s plan is achieved, teenagers will have many different options to choose after their secondary schooling. Students would be able

Finally, the day is almost here. Excitement builds as a senior gets closer and closer to graduation. For many, high school is torture. It is a jail. It is boring and horrific. Students long for a taste of freedom during their high school experience. However, what one desires is not what is best. High school is a place where students get ready for college, and sadly, many are not ready. An extra year for students in high school will give them an opportunity to become prepared for college. For many students, four years of high school is not enough for college. Extending high school to five years would allow students to have a looser schedule, and allow them to be economically and mentally ready.

That is not true. School, starting at grade 6, is brainwashing children to think that they need to this special system to teach them how to prepare for college. Which is not the best for them. Schools used to have a curriculum that was based on how to succeed on life without using college (The good, the bad, and the ugly, 2011). Now schools and teachers must follow this strict guideline that tells them what and how to teach to the children.

I would like to advocate for the education reform and the CCSS because I do not believe that these tests can prepare children for the outside world. Moreover, educations approach towards student should change. I would like to help families understand the test do not define the ability of their children and their student, so they do not need to be disappointed with them. I want to advocate on this issue because I believe in each child and understand teach a child is unique and different, and their potential differs from many others. Schools must become a place for children to feel safe and wanted and although, High school students are at risk many students in elementary years are at risk as well. If this education system does not change fewer

It is a prime example of narrowing student’s education while they are still in the comforts of home. There are four main sections of the UK’s educational system: primary education, secondary education, further education, and higher education. Primary school and secondary school are mandatory for all students. It is also broken up into four “key stages.” At the end of each stage, students take assessments to show their academic progress. (Between ages five and eleven, students attend primary school, completing key stages one and two. Between ages eleven and sixteen, students attend secondary school, completing stages three and four. The typical path for a student in secondary school is to study broad topics between ages eleven and fourteen, before studying topics more in depth between ages fifteen and sixteen. After secondary school, they are finished with their mandatory education. If a student elects to continue into further education, they may choose to either earn more academic qualifications through more focused studies, or to pursue vocational qualifications through apprenticeships and other programs. Further education is still free to students, yet it allows them more say in what they will be studying, much like college here in the US. A student may then elect to pursue higher education by pursuing a degree in college (“Higher Education

In the article, Education and Schooling: You Can Have One Without the Other, Mwalimu J. Shujaa of the State University of New York discusses the importance of learning that there is a difference between schooling and education. Can education exist without schooling or vice versa? Shujaa’s article gives an insight into the conjunction of schooling and education and how they impact the culture of African Americans.

In the Hechinger Report the students as well as the educators were split half and half, the ones who opposed abandoning senior year believed that the year is very necessary and provides a “transition” into college. A very crucial part of their argument is that senior year should not be skipped but instead reinforced. If a student wisely chooses their classes, taking dual credit and advance placement classes, they will be more prepared and get more out of their last year of high school. Along with these courses they will have time to do many various task such as raising g.p.a (grade point average) and being involved with afterschool activities to boost their resume. Rylee King provides another interesting point, and that is to take the G. E. D , General Education Development, which states that the person has American high school-level academic skills. Statistically almost hundred percent of U.S Employers and Universities accept a G.E.D as an equal to a high school diploma. This would be a great alternative way to “skip” the senior year as the G.E.D would provide proof that the student is college ready academically. Though this is a great alternative I view the chance that student won’t be employed or gain entrance to college due to this option as a big fault. Also as a student in my senior year, I find myself doubting often that I am even a senior, this feeling is shared among my classmates and shows that senior year may not be transitional for most

High school is an important phase in the lives of students. For a long time, high schools in Canada have gone through a lot of changes and variations. These changes have affected students who go to high schools tremendously. One particular change made to Ontario high schools was the removal of grade thirteen. The elimination of the fifth year was a wrong decision and put students at a disadvantage. Grade thirteen should be brought back and be mandatory for all students. It provides more freedom and self-care to the students.

“The future belongs to those who believe in the beauty of their dreams,” recited Eleanor Roosevelt. Why is it that some high schoolers want to graduate early? Are there any benefits to the advancement position at which some high schoolers would like to achieve by graduating early? The answer to that question is yes! There are so many great opportunities for those students who want to progress with life quicker and hopefully more accomplished. Early graduation can offer high school students and families a more stable and helpful financial environment. By applying such help and guidance to one 's life, it can enable a student to secure a well put together future for oneself and have a higher chance of success. Another benefit of early

Another point Kirn seems to overlook is the premise that many high schools, especially in Canada, offer introductory courses to university level material; such as courses in law, psychology, calculus, and even some higher level sciences. For many students taking these courses can give them insight as to what exactly they are in for in the coming years of their post-secondary life. For example a student could leave grade 11 physics thinking that they love the material and have enough of a grip on the math that they might be able to pursue a career down that path. However, upon taking calculus and a higher level physics course coupled they suddenly realize that they in fact hate math and

For one thing, high school education should be mandatory due to furthering one’s education. Students who maintain to stay in high school receive the

Most students are not over the pressures of being a senior in high school. That’s why the gap year should be taken to release all the stresses of high school. Most students cannot take being stressed out so decide to wait. These students are not capable of attending college due to their mental stability. Being a college student directly from high school could take a great toll on a person physical and mental state.

Over the years, different things evolve and change from what society is used to. For example, devices were introduced to have a conversation with people miles away; however, as time continued, individuals were able to talk without a wire restricting them from walking out of the kitchen. Over the decades, the style in males and females changed drastically as well. Although people say change is good, some change might have virtuous intentions but they end up being severely detrimental. Colleges should not interfere with the constant flow of education by incorporating a distraction from learning; however, college officials should merely strive for their students to be comfortable not pampered.

“Education is the most powerful weapon which you can use to change the world.” - Nelson Mandela. Without education, there is simply no telling of what this world would be like. There wouldn’t be doctors, lawyers, businesses etc. Life and everything around us would be fatuous. Schools and education give us a plan in life and help guide us. Throughout the years education has changed tremendously. It had its improvements throughout the decades, and it also has had its falters as well. Education in America is an issue in this country and it definitely needs to be tweaked and improved. Education is what makes us people who we are and what we will be. Nelson Mandela had it right, there is no weapon more powerful than education.

Throughout the history of civilization, education has been an important tool in shaping an individual as well as the society that the individual is a part of. In the older civilizations, only the elite upper class had access to education. This kept these people at the top of the social ladder, and suppressed the common people who did not have access to the same education as the nobles. We have come a long way since then, with every child having access to a free high school degree. However, there is still some inequality in this modern education system that has similarities to the old injustices. In this day and age, a college degree is a great start for a young adult starting to enter the work force. According to a study conducted by Pew
