Survey results have consistently indicated that middle level and high school students who start school at 7:15 a.m. or earlier obtain less total sleep on school nights due to earlier rise times in comparison to students at later-starting schools. () This is just the beginning of the negative impacts that early start times have on students. By starting school at a later time, students’ brains will function better, their grades and learning increases, and will be more mentally stable.

In the New York Times “Do Kids Need Recess” Michael Gonchar quotes professional opinions in his educational article to prove the importance of recess.

Before the children come to school, I will give myself thirty minutes for planning. During my planning time, I will review my day’s plans and ensure I have all necessary materials are available to the children. When the children arrival to school, I will greet them and assist them if need with storing their belonging. Breakfast will be prepared for the children with serving bowls to sever themselves. When the children are finish eating breakfast, the quite centers, such as math and manipulatives and literacy centers, will be available for the children to enter. At nine o’clock I will signal for the children to store their materials away and we will transition to having our group meeting. During our group meeting, we have an open discussion

At 9:45 AM, everyone will meet in an opening exercise in the auditorium, including singing, announcements, etc. At that point the kids will be dismissed and they will go to the kid’s area and after a brief character talk (on aspects of character such as courage,

Recently, as kids get older, kids have less time to enjoy and get to play outside. It’s because of the ideas of parents or education administers who want their children to learn more and experience more at school. For instance, some parents want their child to learn high school math, even-though, their children may not in high school. However, interestingly, many researches have showed that having recess gives a lot of benefit to the student.

Many may believe that the United States school system is flawless; that no other countries school system or organization is as advanced as ours, “just like our government.” Those people need to come into the realization that our school system is broken, we need to be realists and not dreamers when it comes to something as serious as our education. Our school system has not been putting in the needed or required effort to reach the goals of true education or a good education that we, as students, deserve. Schools have been cheating us of what we deserve. Although some may believe our school system is perfect, it is not; our school system is broken and it needs to be fixed.

When I was a boy, I told my parents that I wanted to be a manager at Burger King, much to their distress. Although, despite the stigma against such professions, they never attempted to steer me away from that path, nor the twenty-something other ones that I strived to simultaneously accomplish. As I grew older however, I learned that I did not like everything, nor was I good at everything. As it stands, I would make a rather lousy mechanic, store manager, or farm hand. As such, secondary education at a four-year university appears to be the best option for me to become a productive member of society.

No Child Left Behind has created a multitude of emotions and high stress situations throughout schools nationwide. Getting students to perform well on standardized tests seems to be the goal at whatever cost it takes to get there. Administrators have turned to slashing teacher prep time and much needed breaks as well as taking away physical activity from those that need it most, our young students. This writing will look at why recess is being taken away and the many benefits children get from recess. Information will be presented about the different benefits children get from recess and connections will be made as to how that may benefit them in future years.

The group, Rethinking Schools, opposes the Common Core. Rethinking Schools believe that the standards are going to fail like they have in the past. Many times the Common Core is compared to NCLB when saying there are too many standardized tests implemented that are unnecessary. Also mentioned are factors such as the cost of tests, teachers, and technology. Rethinking Schools defines the purpose of education in a democracy through the democratic equality approach. A quote from David Labaree says, “From the democratic equality approach to schooling, one argues that a democratic society cannot persist unless it prepares all of its young with equal care to take on the full responsibilities of citizenship in a competent manner” (Labaree, 1997).

I am a firm believer that the education system in America does not prepare students for the real world, because of the fact that many schools are teaching students skills to "pass" their classes rather than succeed in life. I have been in school for eleven years now and still do not know anything about paying bills, taxes, buying a home, caring for a child, etc. although what I have learned is how to find the slope of a line, what the purpose of a nucleus is, how to solve for x, and more; yet I have never once used one of these things taught to me in everyday life. What should be taught in schools is a class that teaches students how to save as much money as possible while in college, or at least a basic understanding of psychology because

School is a big part of a student's life, taking up almost a quarter of a his/her lifespan. Throughout this time, students come to class to learn about subjects, to prepare them for life beyond school. They are taught subjects in order to improve their brain capacity and allow them to think for themselves. However currently, schools are training students rather than educating them. When students are trained, they go through the same process every year, and some schools drill that process into their brains until they can do it over and over again with the purpose of only trying to get them to learn it. For instance, in math, many times you will have to learn an equation, and most of the time, without even needing to know how the equation works,

There are many arguments as to why children should stay in school. I think education is important to any child’s life. Education is what builds a person up and help them make something of their self , and from a nobody to a somebody. Education is the key to any door you are trying to open. I wouldn’t consider anybody to drop out of school. I know school can be hard at times, but its only hard because the teachers are trying to make you stronger. Education to me is basically what you need to better yourself in life. Think about this, how many people know a person that has an education has a good career ? There are a lot of people with an education that has a career.
