Vandalism has been at Kapolei Middle School for a while and I bet people are sick and tired of it. When I first saw this school I thought it was great, but when I got to see it a bit more I saw tons of vandalized places. I saw swear words behind beams, on the walls and even reproductive parts drawn on doors and walls. I think many students do this they keep vandalizing things even art work on a classroom wall when my journalism teacher told me that I could do this story he said that someone drew inappropriate male parts on the artwork he put outside of his classroom. I also bet that many classroom desk have scribbles words and drawings. My main guess why people do this is that they think it is funny, but it is not. People who vandalize things
Ela-Vernon East was the first name of today’s Adlai E. Stevenson High School. Ela-Vernon East was the second school in the Ela-Vernon Township High School District with district offices in Lake Zurich. Because of the growing disagreement between Ela-Vernon West and Ela-Vernon East, current Stevenson, about the direction the school should take, Adlai E. Stevenson High School was born in November 1965. The school was to open as a school for freshman and sophomores living in the area. Juniors and seniors were to continue to attend Ela-Vernon West in Lake Zurich (http://www.d125.org).

Recently, the Junior Civitan Club held a charter ceremony to officially recognize the club as part of Junior Civitan. This was a very momentous occasion for not only members and sponsors of the club, but for the school as well.
Seventeen year old, Edward Pierce Jr. and best friends, Bobbi Brown and James Farley are nearly done with their last year of school at Pioneer Lake High School. One week before graduation and their descent into the real world, tragedy strikes. James has committed suicide, leaving Edward and Bobbi to pick up the pieces. Could they have prevented their best friend’s death? Are they to blame? Can they handle the loss of a loved one without breaking in half?
This social issue has been in the spotlight for quite some time now and is the leading cause for students to miss school, become less social, cause self harm and even in some cases death. Bullying and harassment are commonly seen for the most part amongst teenagers who face issues at school, not only does this happen here in the United States, but in schools universally. ¨17% of American students report being bullied 2 to 3 times a month or more within a school semester¨ (Valerie). Although this is mostly seen among teens it can also happen between children and even adults. Bullying can occur everyday throughout Madera High School and no one would be able to acknowledge or stand up for the victim. Vice Principals at MHS have said that more
Tormented by the dry Texas sun, and the poor soil, the plant life in Eagle Pass High school has no chance. Everywhere you look there is dead grass and dead trees. However, in the middle of a field filled with the dead behemoths of trees, there stood a small struggling sapling.
In the early months of 2002, Juneau-Douglas High School in Juneau Alaska, held a school-sponsored and faculty supervised event, held off of school property, to observe the Olympic Torch pass through their area. When television cameras began to turn in the direction of a group of students, they unfurled a banner with the phrase “BONG HiTS [sic] 4 JESUS”. The school principle, Deborah Morse, told the students to remove the banner and one of them named Joseph Frederick refused, compelling Morse to confiscated the banner claiming it promoted illegal drug use and suspended Frederick [1]. The school district superintendent supported Morse and permitted the suspension, stating the banner was in violation of school policy by endorsing the use of
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
Students at Wilson High School, Governor Mifflin, Twin Valley, and Reading High School on Tuesday the 4th of October were horrified to learn that their schools had been threatened online. The Instagram account “gigglez_is.real” warned students at these schools that three clowns would show up at 12:30 on October the 5th in each school to murder or seriously injure students and teachers.
At Noble Street College Prep, they have students pay for various infractions. “Noble collected almost $190,000 in discipline “fees” from detentions and behavior classes.” A discipline policy is used to make students behave and follow rules. There is a rewarding and punishing policy where students are supposed to be improving. While it is true that the rewarding policy may work, I believe that Konawaena Middle School should have the punishing policy, because when students are being punished, they are behaving during school, focused on their classes while getting superior grades and even with the policy students still have responsibilities for their work.
There is a quote that I have embraced during my professional journey I like that state, “The influence of a good teacher can never be erased”. As a product of the Muscogee County School district, my life mirrors that statement. If it were not for my awesome teachers I would not be the person and teacher I am today. Growing up poor, I lived in Wilson Apartments and attended Fox Elementary School. It was my kindergarten teacher Mrs. Vignery that ignited my passion to become a teacher. She would always hold my hand and made me feel loved despite my many issues. As a result, I wanted to pass this love to my students. I cannot remember not one single thing that she taught me, but I will never forget how she made me feel. I find myself holding
At Bayshore Middle School the Principal, Mr.Scarano, Vice Principal, Mr.Cullen, and many of the school’s teachers have become more strict about the backpack rule. The backpack rule is that your backpack is not to be carried around the school until period 10-11. Many students ignored the rule and brought their backpack to some of their classes, but it has gone out of control. On January 30, 2017, Mr.Scrano sent out an email to all of the teachers asking to send all of the students back to their lockers if they bring their backpack to class before period 10-11.
Being a student of Greenbrier High School I have lots of opinions that the school could change for better or worse. Now I know that my opinion doesn’t matter to the school and to the faculty. Many times there are searches of student lockers and backpacks along with the student being there in person. Most of the time the people that get searched are the ones that look suspicious. Also are the people that are known for doing drugs. So attracting attention is one main way to get searched. I believe that it does keep people safe. It helps know we are
At Santaluces Community High School there are many things that require change. The scheduling, cats, and recess are things that need to be changed in order to please the students. Having these changes may change student’s life for the better
Have you ever had to go all the way to your locker just to get one thing for one class? If we could just take our backpacks or something to carry things with, we wouldn’t have that problem. At Romig Middle School, we aren’t allowed to bring such things. Instead of carrying our backpacks we have to keep them in our lockers at all times. If we do take backpacks with us to class, we get in trouble by our teachers or security guards. Going back and forth through the hallways wastes needed energy that we already don’t have because of the long and early school hours. Not only does it waste energy, but it’s also time consuming and causes us to become late for class. Students should have the option of carrying some of our things through the hallways
