What I learned from Laura Bobnaks essay was the way we think in high school is extremely different from what we think when we are adults. In high school, it’s all about doing everything we can to get out of there whether its cheating or studying. It doesn’t matter because in high school no one like a tattle tale or a rat.
Dawne Lori Jezik shared her incredible story. Dawne is part of the Adult Children.org. Dawne is 50-year-old woman. Dawne stated that she has three kids. Dawne comes from a dysfunctional family. She grew up in a violent home setting. Dawne was an A student, honor roll and very smart. Dawne got pregnant with her first kid at the age of 16 years old. Her story really impacted and shocked me. It was really sad when she stated that her family from her mother side is literally “crazy”.
Jennifer Dailey already had her heartbroken in April 2015, on the day she gave birth to her daughter Jerrica Sky, Dailey explained “I had a stillborn baby.”
This paragraph is basically a summary of what mostly every school has to deal with so I completely agree with students getting out of hand and doing whatever they feel like. When I first read this I laugh to myself cause I didn’t think high school would be like this but I guess some stuff don’t change.
Some say that high school is the best four years of life but, this is not the case for everyone. Leon Botstein certainly would not agree with that statement. In his article “Let Teenagers Try Adulthood,” Botstein talks about all that needs changed with high schools and schooling in general. However, his argument is not powerful. Botstein’s use of syntax, diction, and structure is ineffective.
High school students spend more than eight-hours at school and are influenced by those around them, their peers and teachers. The way we aren’t thought to interpret information, we are educated to take information and shove it in our
In ‘Abolish high school’ by Rebecca solnit, she writes “High school is often considered a definitive American experience, in two senses: an experience that nearly everyone shares, and one that can define who you are, for better or worse, for the rest of your life.” which means high school isn’t wonderful for many people, it has a lot of challenges for teens, maybe some of them ‘kill’ by pressure and challenges, it would affect their rest of life. The high school is not a wonderful place for everyone. People should skip it and escaped it that you would don’t be suffered by it. However I disagree with her, because I believe high school is a indispensable place for students. It is a place for students, they can find a great relationship and an unexceptionable place to learn. On the other hand, I believe the high school is the key to definitive teens who they are in an great way. For example, Teachers would shape everyone’s identity, make you strong to face challenges, and open child’s heart. For example, in my childhood, when I lived with my parents, I was happy to learn, because my parents always encourage me to learn. Also, they want me learn from mistake, because It is a way to learn. They want me to be someone. However my parents left me at 12 age, they have to work more hard to support this home. I can’t focus on learning, I was playing video games every day, because I think I was ‘release’ from my parents. I have no ideas about my future. There is no one like my parents to guide me , I feel alone and confuses. Until I was be a part of high school.The high school make me stronger and hopeful. Teachers guide me walk on the right way again, they talk to me about future and how wonderful thing would happen in high school. I
High school. The dreaded time and place that every young American has to suffer through. The institution where conformity is expected but individuality is preached from every impassioned liberal arts teacher. It is in high school that American teenagers are expected to make choices that will determine the outcome of their entire lives. They are expected to make good grades, fill their schedules with extracurriculars and still find time for family, a social life and a job. In the essay “Let Teenagers Try Adulthood”, Leon Botstein convicts the American education system of caging the independent nature of teenagers by placing them in hormonal crazed, clique obsessed institutions that are deemed to be places of educational standard past the point
As soon as high school begins, most students are swimming in opposition, plagued with the options life has to offer, and judged on how trials are navigated. They live lives of scholarly action; explaining, memorizing, solving and arguing are the basics on which their success is determined

I’m sure many have shared stories of their high school experiences and can relate when I say those four years have taught me many lessons. During this time, I’d come face to face with the fraudulent friendships, temporary romances, and other high school dramas that my parents once warned me about—those of which I simply brushed off as myths. It wasn’t the 90’s anymore— times have changed and people are different—or at least, that’s what I thought.
“If you take away the Jewish contribution to Christianity, there would be no Christianity. Judaism does not need Christianity to explain its existence; Christianity, however, cannot explain its existence without Judaism.” – John Hagee

“ When Students cheat on exams it’s because our school system values grades more than students value learning - Neil Degrasse Tyson.” Cheating in school happens everyday around the world. This can be prevented by getting rid of tests, making class lectures more understable and fun, and also shortening the amount of homework students get.
Yet, the education does not stop at middle school, for high school really puts all the basic skills from elementary and middle school to work as the assignments and the exams become more challenging. We do not only learn about reading, writing, history, and math, we learn about the people around us as we associate with different personalities, and as we see what we have grown up to be and what we want to be later in life. Accordingly, the high school years are a time when teachers emphasize the importance of graduating and attending college in order to have a “succesful future.”
“Contemporary American society pulls teenagers away from school toward social and recreational pursuits. There is widespread peer pressure not to succeed academically. One of five students say that their friends make fun of people who try to do well in school. More than one-half of all students say they never discuss their schoolwork with friends.”
