Pros And Cons Of Northgate High School Curriculum

I investigated how cadets’ communication evolved while they were in JROTC and how they used word of mouth to achieve the program’s goals. Colonel Spry mentions that cadets’ discussions when they first start out in the program are not very serious in nature, but as they grow and move up in the program they begin to mature and have thoughtful discussions on how to solve a problem and what kind of plan it would take to resolve it.

For my Professional Engagement placement, I was assigned to a UNSW ASPIRE program school, Granville Boys High School (GBHS), an single-sex government school situated in South Western Sydney. Due to its geographical location in one of the most multicultural regions in Sydney, with 95 per cent of the school’s total of 488 enrolments classified as Language Background Other Than English (LBOTE) students. Most students attending the school live in the surrounding Holroyd/Auburn area, with a large majority of students from Arabic or Muslim backgrounds. Additionally, there are recently arrived students from Africa and students with South Pacific Islander backgrounds. As well as being classified as a

Teachers who cultivate the minds of the young and fuel their insatiable ideals become the primary objects of resentment for young soldiers in All Quiet on the Western Front. It is a resentment

“I think we reminded them of what peace was like, we boys of sixteen. We were registered with no draft board, we had taken no physical examinations. No one had ever tested us for hernia or color blindness. Trick knees and punctured eardrums were minor complaints and not yet disabilities which would separate a few from the fate of the rest. We were careless and wild, and I suppose we could be thought of as a sign of the life the war was being fought to preserve. Anyway, they were more indulgent toward us than at any other time; they snapped at the heels of seniors, driving and molding and arming them for the war. They noticed our games tolerantly. We reminded them of what peace was like, of lives which were not bound up with destruction (Knowls

In this letter, I hope to show you why I am interested in going to County Prep. County Prep has been my number one choice for high school. The County Prep mission statement says, “We are a dynamic, diverse and compassionate learning community…” From only this part of the statement, it shows me that this high school is not only an active learning community; it is also a distinct and caring community. This statement persuades me that every student that enters County Prep feels comfortable and that they are there because their future depends on this place. High school is the starting point to pick what you want to be when you grow up. I choose County Prep because it gives you a head start on college and I believe this is what my future depends

There are so many history stories in history books and on the internet, but the source from people who were actually there is so much better than reading the nonsense. It’s better to hear stories from people who have actually lived and witnessed it rather than just read stories about it. Most students listen better than they read. When you listen to stuff, it sticks in our mind way longer than looking at a book trying to figure out what’s going on. Veterans are an example of this. They tell us stories about the times they were in the training and when they battled, if they did or have already. They have always been an important part of our nation’s history, present, and future. Everyone who went into the military or is currently planning to join has or will have a story to tell. It will be a part of them that they will always remember, the good times and the bad times. So many veterans love telling all the experiences they have witnessed. Thinking of it, it’s not a bad thing; it’s a great thing to be able to say they were actually there. Many students ask what the training is like when they first join the military, although it’s really tough, many still consider going, some even make the commitment to join right after they graduate. Those who do make it, the commitment, are the reason our nation’s history and future is how it is and how

7a. This book made a favorable impression on me and it will change the way I approach: people who question whether or not the Marine Corps should still exist. I can now easily explain the manner in how the

Citizens in America are born with a various amount of rights. One of these rights include the freedom of speech and expression. However, school administrators have the ability to restrict a student’s expression. The Supreme Court Cases ‘Bethel School District v. Fraser’ and ‘Frederick V. Morse’ gave schools the right for the administrators to discipline children when they see fit. Students should be able to express themselves in any way without fearing that their school administrators will discipline

Beginning my love of reading an early age, I was never the type of child who was drawn to fictional stories. As an 8 year-old child in West Virginia, I was recognized by the local library for my love of biographies, autobiographies and recollections of world events. This love has continued throughout my adult life, desiring to read novels such as “We Were Soldiers Once…and Young” by Lt. Gen. Harold G. Moore rather than watch the major motion picture “We Were Soldiers” starring Mel Gibson. Even though the motion picture received multiple awards, when reading the recollection of Mr. Moore’s accounts, the feeling of loss, distress, anxiety and fear can be felt in each word that he has written while reliving this horrendous war.

These expectations include the listeners knowing a few things about veterans, and that his speech will influence the listener to act. First, Moore assumes the listeners understand what military school is, how it is run, and what effect military school education might have on an individual. Furthermore, it is assumed the listener has said the phrase “thank you for your service” to a veteran, that the listener wants to engage in a meaningful conversation with a veteran, and they are not a veteran themselves. To explain, Moore does not teach the listener what military school is, or its effect on an individual. Furthermore, he only mentions the phrase “thank you for your service” without mentioning that there may be other things a person can say to a veteran. Not to mention how Moore doesn’t attempt to convince the listener to engage in meaningful conversation with a veteran. Moore also assumes veterans would know how to talk to each other and therefore his audience does not contain veterans. Second, Moore wants his speech to influence his audience. Immediately, Moore wants his audience to reflect on what any veteran has gone through and what the phrase “thank you for your service” means to a veteran. When he tells the story about the two other veterans and explains how “thank you for your service” needs to be more than something a person says to a veteran. Overall, Moore wants his speech to give the listener the ability to

School Board: We shall not let this happened we are going to appeal to the U.S Supreme Court

I’m proud of ‘Black Hawk Down’ because I think it told a provocative story and it was honest. It could have had more opportunity to tell both sides of the story, but I’m still proud of it.” (Josh Hartnett). This quote overall proves that Black Hawk Down is a valuable book for teens since, it provides the truth of what happens during war and if you are not prepared and it provides advanced vocabulary terms. In the book Black Hawk Down there is a lot of advanced vocabulary, certain styles of language and a ton of military terms. During this essay I will be talking about how Black Hawk Down is valuable for the teens of Morongo unified School District. This story ties into academic, social and patriotic.

Northwood is a great school with wonderful teachers who truly care their students. The students are very involved and the school itself contributes greatly to the community; however, if I were change one thing about Northwood I would change the curriculum so that it would involve more specialized in the math and sciences. Northwood's curriculum is mainly focused on English and the fine arts. Our school, even with its limited resources we still offer extensive classes in the Arts ranging from tech theatre to Chorus IV, but in contrast they only offer one level of standard Biology and a class of AP Chemistry that you can only take every other year. With an interest in a science and engineering based career it would be great exposure for our school

As an educator, it is extremely important to know educational policies. On top of the knowledge, it is also imperative to respect the rights granted to students in the democratic society. Attached above is an article, published by the first amendment center, regarding how the first amendment is employed within public schools. The first topic in the article is titled speaking out in school. Here I learned that the school cannot limit the student’s freedom of speech, unless it is hindering the environment to learn, and even then, there is a lot of grey area. Here the school must be able to provide substantial evidence that the student’s writing, speech, or expression would cause great disruption. This also ties directly into school dress code and uniforms required by the school corporation. Students, in many
