Ramapo High School Analysis

No matter what I tried, I did not seem to fit in. I was constantly dealing with many bullies. It didn’t help that I’m shy, that my brother was ‘different’, or that I was good at school; These kids did not seem interested in school at all, and were only interested in being popular. I hated going to public school, so when I was in 7th grade I transferred to private school. For 7th and 8th grade I went to a ‘prep school’. I t was very difficult. We would have several hours of homework each day, and I had to write a lot of essays. For high school, I went to a Catholic school, the same as my father.

I really appreciated watching the documentary about Little Rock Central High School in class this week. “Little Rock Central High School is an accredited comprehensive public high school in Little Rock, Arkansas.” I had never hear about the school before or knew the history behind what happened many years ago. I cannot imagine what it must have felt like for African American kids to go school for the very first time with a bunch of white Americans who did not accept them at the time. Nine simple ordinary African American kids worked so hard to allow a chance for them to receive an education in a school that was not segregated. To think about how much bullying they went through and how much verbal and physical abuse they must have endured

At Fond du Lac High School, in Fond du Lac, Wisconsin, there are classes that each grade is required to take. For example, every student is required to take four English classes, one per year. In addition to that, every student is required to take three science, math, and social studies classes. This hinders a student’s ability to further themselves along a potential career path by forcing them into taking classes that aren't needed. In order to fix this policy, three things need to happen. There needs to be more trade high schools, fewer required classes, and differently formatted school days.

Each student has their own history, characteristics and behaviors. Honestly, these stereotypes are real, principally during high school, where people start to create their own thoughts, to participate of determined groups and to stablish their own life styles. John, the “easygoing”, has a past full of delicate situations: he suffered by abuse and he does not have a good relationship with his father, who is a drug user. Because of his history, he seems to be disinterested and selfish, the legitimate bad guy. Brian, the “nerd”, has his life based on achieve success in studies. His parents make a huge pressure in his life, so he is always worried about his scholar activities, trying to get the higher grade possible. Because of that, he is treated as unsociable, and he is far from being popular in the school. Allison is “the weird” of the students, she uses strange clothes and has a peculiar style. Her parents do not really care about her, causing this weird behavior. She is quiet, does not talk too much and feels lonely, so she goes to detention by her own desire. Claire, is the “preppy” girl. With a good looking, she is also kind of selfish. Her parents are in a constant fight, which makes her acts like she does. Andrew is “the athlete” of the group. He receives a huge pressure from his parents in all the fields of his life, and he grew up with the thought that “you have to win”, which makes him do things that he does not really want.

Is there ever an instance when a M.Ed. cohort student does not have to take EDUC 635? I have had 2 students, 1 reading and 1 C&I, call to ask if they need to take 635. The C&I student said his professor talked about 630 being different for those taking 635 and those not. The reading student said 635 did not show on her advising sheet, which it does on all the advising sheets I have. The first time I was asked the question, I assumed there was some confusion with the professor, but when I got the same question twice in 2 days it made me wonder if I had missed something.

Hi Sheehan, being a student it is always hard to do as we think for all our classes. My major is computer science as well and I remember when I took programming class it was too much for me. We often get frustrated and stressed out about our homework, test and exam, but eventually we have to do them and we do it too. I kind of feel its happen due to not having enough time because almost all the college students work at the same time. It happens to me all the time, I don’t want to procrastinate things but I end up doing the same thing over and over. I like the way you believe in yourself as an optimistic person which is equally important to deal with stressful situation. I also agree and believe that having growth mindset is not only learning

The of the new semester I did not know what to expect because building or constructing stuff was never my expertise. Towards the end of fall semester I did contribute to the the play layout more than ever by designing the Corny Collins sign that is currently used in the play Hairspray. I did not know because last semester I was never involved with the construction of anything and I did not know about this new semester. I started off the semester not good because Dr. Sannah caught me not doing work sometimes, but he did not know that I was already done with my work. He wanted students to be more involved in this year play than las semesters and I wanted to contribute more in this play than last semester.

For the grade level that Arletha is in I do not think that the requirements for this program should be so high. If Arletha was in middle school or highschool then that would be more appropriate. For example, I remember when I was in highschool there was an AP art class I wanted to take, but you needed to have your art portfolio approved to get into that high level class. This made sence because of the grade level. Students in that grade were old enough to have a well developed art portfolio. This also showed students that this class was strictly for people intersted in art and not just a required class. In Arletha's grade, fifth grade, I don't think students should be put in such a strict class with a hard entry test because it is not age appropriate.

Hi Scott, I really liked your comparison of the snow outside and the atmosphere inside. As the snow becomes darker so does the emotions inside. Although they were both fighting for the baby's well being (I assume), they were unintentionally putting him or her in jeopardy. They really were not acting like adults at that moment.

I am really proud that I have improved in maths, socratic, comprehension strategies, running the track and cybersafety. The areas of maths that I’ve improved most in is data, division, percentages and problem solving. I’ve improved Socratic as I find it easier to come up with topics and I have been speaking more in Socratic discussions as in two sessions I've talked 5 times. Literacy Circles has helped me get better at some of the comprehension strategies such as summarising, connections and main idea, I have also improved on cause and effect. Running nearly every day has not only helped me to keep fit but improve my running skills as now I can run the track without stopping easily. Gmail and budd-e has helped me become more cyberwise on technology.

During my school year in BYU-Hawaii, I had 3 semesters every year. Each year, 3 semesters would arrange differently that helped me with different situations. It was tiring at my first year at BYU-Hawaii, but I think the short gap created better knowledge and memory of the knowledge from past semester. For example, I studied Education 312 which is a class introduce and teach us how to write lesson plan in one semester, and I took two other education major for my next semester. Those two education classes required the knowledge of making lesson plan. Because the gap between first and second semester is very close, I can easily recall what I have learned in EDU 312 class in order to make lesson plan for my other two education classes.

Undefinable, they are the faces you see in the hallway during the course of four years that you will never be able to learn to specifically recognize. The names you don't know and the people you will one day never remember. Labeled as underachievers, their potential is, for the most part, limited by their situation. Their lack of motivation and difficult personalities cast them into slow-moving classes where they form connections with those individuals on their level. They all have their reasons for being there. Reasons why their hair is uncombed and their clothes go unwashed. Reasons why they are so easily angered angered with paranoia and so simply satisfied with promises of friendship. Reasons why any thought of a future for themselves seems so impossibly out of reach. If only there was a proper term to identify this abstract grouping of teens, that there was some gathering place for the subculture we are trying to describe. They take whatever name we see fit to give them. Every high school has them, yet they are rarely analyzed. The remaining questions we hope to answer, Who exactly are these kids? How did they come to be this way?

I Makayla Elaine Bunbasi, have been academically suspended from Allegany College of Maryland. I have been suspended due to my academic status falling below the required minimum. I understand that it is important to do well in school and I am willing to put all my focus into my schooling to make sure I do whatever it takes to pass my classes. I know there shouldn’t be any reason for a student to fall behind in school but the past two and a half years of my life have been a struggle. When I was seventeen I made the choice to move to West Virginia to take care of my grandmother since my Pap worked out of town Monday-Friday. Over the past two years I have had to care for my grandmother on my own. Taking her to her appointments, surgeries, and the emergency room at times,

The sun rise fills the sky with a beautiful orange and dark purple. I walk past a pool shack, a bank, a 7-11, a Hardees, a Vet Office, and soon enough crossing guards are letting me move across the busy road to walk the long sidewalk to Deep Creek High School. A school filled with endearing, beautiful, smart teenagers... Sike. This school is terrible and what's even worse is the people. They're all shallow rednecks and stupid, unsophisticated, trashy, teen girls. No one here is worth

Freshman year I remember walking into the school mortified, thinking that everything and anything that could go wrong would. I had never attended a Liberty-Benton School and knew about five people that would be in my grade. I was shy and quiet because I didn’t know any of the new faces. I was insecure about myself and thought that it would be almost impossible to make friends. Before high school, I went to a small, private,
