The Changes of School for Floyd County High School
Is your school perfect? Because we know ours isn’t. It’s time to stand up for changes and change your school! Floyd County High School has many changes that need to be made but three main changes. We need to switch to a year round schedule because when we are in school we focus more more when we go half a day. Now we notice that less hours will make us go more days but we’ll learn more. We also need to make our classrooms bigger for more interaction. Tieing into that we should create a middle school so we’ll have more space to interact. These are just a few changes we need to make to our school. Many schools have gradually switching to a year round schedule and we are still using the

First of all, the teachers will have more room to interact, when we get up and move we both get more out of the lessons. Second, many students cheat on standardized tests. If the room is bigger teachers, will be able to spread out students so they will not be able to cheat off of each other to try to get a higher grade. Third, many kids will want to come to school if they won’t have to sit behind a desk all day. We also believe we should build a middle school for Floyd County, for three main reasons. First of all it would be less crowded, and more drama wouldn’t happen. We’re not saying all of the drama would be solved but it would help with a majority of it. Tying in with the last paragraph more teachers would have more room to interact with their students. A middle school would solve several of high school problems. Finally, students will not have to adjust from elementary schools to a high school. As you can tell the world needs changes, so why don’t we just start with our school? Build rooms bigger, add a middle school, and a year-round school schedule all are proven to have positive effects, so let’s make our school positive. Let’s make the rooms bigger for more interaction. Build a middle school for more space. Finally, let’s change F.C.H.S. to a year-round schedule. All these topics have been proven to have positive effects. We’re going to be the next positive
The memorable place of Lynnfield High School was the place that helped me discover where I wanted to be in life. After the hard work I demonstrated paid off, I was ready to leave my comfort zone for a new place. Growing up, I lived in a unique town called Lynnfield, located about a half-hour north of Boston. My hometown has countless special qualities that I will remember for a lifetime. The school system has a close knit community because the town only has two elementary schools, one middle school, and one high school. My graduating class consisted of less than two hundred people, which is extremely small compare to surrounding towns. Overall my junior and senior years had the most memorable impact on me and my life.
Medomak Valley High School, located in Waldoboro, ME, is the only high school in Maine School Administrative District #40 and serves students from Friendship, Waldoboro, Warren, Washington, and Union in midcoast Maine. For decades, the school district had two middle schools - A.D. Gray Middle School, which served students from Friendship and Waldoboro, and D.R. Gaul Middle School, which served students from Warren, Washington, and Union. In the fall of 2008, the year I started at Medomak Valley High School, the district opened Medomak Middle School to serve all seventh and eighth grade students in the district and closed A.D. Gray Middle School and D.R. Gaul Middle School. The new middle school was built at the Medomak Valley High
Its mid June and students are anxious and have been long waiting for summer break. After about 10 months of hard work students should have the next 2 months to themselves. Over 3,000 schools in the country have made the switch to this new schedule. But is it really the right change? No, Schools should not change to this new schedule. With this change comes a rise in cost, difficult situations, stress and many other complications that would not be present with the traditional schedule.
Along the borders of Mercer, Beaver, and Butler county you will find a county that contains many unique characteristics. This county is known as Lawrence County. The county as a whole houses 88,000 people. The counties seat, New Castle, alone houses 22,000 of those people.
The issue that causes the most tension at Westside Consolidated School District No. 5 is the school shooting. Many families moved out of the school district as a result and the district has not recovered fully from the departure of those business leaders and students. The projected growth is another community issue that is causing tension. The state of the district buildings and amenities is not on the level of our former rival Valley View nor our current rival Brookland and the district has few options to build new buildings, retain teachers, and offer new class curriculums for the student
The road to the historic desegregation of Little Rock Central High school began in the 1930’s when the NAACP tasked future Supreme Court Justice Thurgood Marshall with fighting segregation in schools. By 1950 he had helped to strike down segregation in universities in several states. In 1951, the NAACP aided parents of black children attending public schools in Topeka, Kansas in attempting to overturn the state’s segregation laws. After a three year court battle, the 1954 Supreme Court case Brown v. Board of Education Topeka culminated in the abolishment of school segregation laws in 21 states. (Seeds 1)
U.S. schools shouldn't switch to year-round school schedules for many reasons. Year round school can be unhealthy for kids for many reasons.
On March 16, 2017 in Rockville, Maryland, a 14-year-old ninth grade girl was raped in her high school bathroom by two illegal immigrants aged 17 and 18 also attending the high school. This has shaken the Maryland community and is raising a lot of questions about student’s safety at school and the state’s immigration policies. This is not an incident that should ever have happened and should never happen again in the future.
Little Rock Central High School was one of many segregated schools in America, where only whites were able to attend. In 1957, nine African-American students enrolled for Little Rock Central High, and were expected to integrate the all-white school. Their enrolment was followed by an outburst and the “Little Rock Crisis”. The nine students, known as the “Little Rock Nine”, were refused from entering the school ground by Orval Faubus. This was undeterred from the rule put in place three years earlier, where the U.S Supreme Court stated that “school segregation was unconstitutional.” Arkansas Governor refused to allow the pupils to desegregate Central High, even dispatching the Arkansas National Guard to keep the students from entering the school.
Year round school calendars aren’t the best idea we’ve had to improve our educational systems. This is just one of many ideas we’ve had. Year round schooling has affected families, students, and required maintenance in many negative ways.
Segregation is the separation of different groups of people based on their ethnicity, or religion, by society. In 1957, nine African Americans students attended Little Rock High School, which was an all-white high school. These African American students wanted to have equal opportunities just as white people did, and decided to do something about it. Desegregation encouraged other people to fight for their rights, and stand up for what they believed in. This event led to the integration of the Little Rock High School. The integration of the schools improved the quality of the education that African Americans were getting. Desegregation of Little Rock High School also had gotten rights enforced by the law, which is the “separate but equal”
Mt. Vickson High School contains a little over 1,000 students total. It's a small high school in Connecticut that doesn't have much recognition. My last 3 years working here have been interesting. Fresh out of college, I applied for a job teaching science or math. I applied at many other schools, but the Mt. Vicks school board got back to me very quickly and offered me a choice: either honors and scholars biology or essentials and scholars algebra 1. Although both were strong suits of mine, I had been an honors student all my life and my biology teacher had inspired me to become a teacher in the first place. I knew I needed the job so I came for an interview and signed the papers. It felt right to take the job teaching junior biology. That
Sometimes, school is competitive. It can become so competitive that students will lie or go so far as to cheat. Some will even kill. Honor Students at Driftwood City High School partake in an Honors English Literature class that ends the year with an exam. The three students who score highest on this test receive a Distinguished Writers Foundation scholarship. This is both a great honor as well as a way to get into the nation's most prestigious colleges and universities. As this is such a serious event, cheating consequences are severe. The first offence results in a failing grade regarding that assignment. Also, the student in question receives a one day suspension from school. If the student decides to cheat a second time, the consequence
overcrowded school. As uncomfortable as change can be, it will all be made in the name of
