Students At Indiana Senior High School

With the workforce becoming more competitive in today’s economy, the educational requirements have increased. By the year 2020, approximately 65% of all jobs in the United States will require a postsecondary education and/or further training proceeding high school education (“Recovery”). One thing that is not increasing is the rate of college enrollment of students from the Detroit Public Schools or college enrollment in general. There are many factors that contribute to this problem, just as there are also many solutions that may help assuage it. The main reason why students from Detroit Public Schools are not enrolling in postsecondary education institutions has to do with their financial situation.

For confidentiality, I will use pseudonyms for the students I chose to profile. The first student I chose was Emma. When I began my field experience in February, Emma had just started third grade at Washington Elementary. She was from a well-educated family and was said to have been homeschooled. Emma was intriguing to me, because academically she was very behind and barely knew how to spell, use conventions and struggled to read and write. She was very sweet, but it was evident she was timid, which was probably due to being new as well as behind academically. The second student I chose is Connor. Connor was a very sweet student, but at times struggled in school. One of the main reasons why I chose Connor was because he reminded me of how my

Consistency and dedication. Two qualities that saved me from a significant drop in my academics in my sophomore year. I was doing just fine at Cajon High School, my grades were not as good as I wanted them to be, but they were still acceptable. Overall I was very delighted to be there. However, this all changed when my parents told me that we were moving from San Bernardino to Hesperia, California and I would be transferring high schools.

A majority of the students in Middle Tennessee Public Schools come from a low- income family household. The school in which I work, Clearview Middle School is not only low- income, but is also a “priority” school. Priority schools are in the bottom five percent in being in the category of lowest- performing in the school district. The population of students at Clearview Middle School are majority African- American, but the cultures among the school are rich and diverse. Many students at Clearview Middle School have high potential of achieving great academic success, but fall short due consistent classroom disruptions throughout the day.

predicted to conclude that most students will not rate Ocean County College highly and will have busy life schedules, including being a full-time student, working, recreating frequently. This may result in a lack of socialization and involvement, leaving campus quickly after their classes (Fink 7, The Survey Handbook).

The number of students attending the University of Alabama has reached a new high of 37,100. That number is a 2.4% increase from 2014 (uanews.ua.edu). As the number of students is predicted only to increase in the years to come, the University must reflect on the housing options for these 37,100 students. Freshman students required to live on campus face a difficult situation--lack of housing. With that being said, the best and most efficient way to cope with the ever growing population is to allow freshmen to live off campus, and build more apartments around campus to allow thousands of more students to have places to live in the future.

be at an educational disadvantage compared to the students attending the predominantly white suburban schools. (Batts, 2012).

Economically oppressed, secondary school aged, African Americans, residing in urban areas are the majorities that are in dire need of immediate Cognitive Behavior interventions within Baton Rouge (E. Stephens, personal communication, August 28, 2015). They are at risk of dropping out of school, experimenting with alcohol and substance abuse, smoking, and institutionalization due to disruptive behaviors and chronic absenteeism. My current internship, Communities In Schools (CIS) located within Capital Middle School, Baton Rouge, Louisiana, is an agency that implements interventions to decrease abnormally high rates of disruptive behaviors and absenteeism within participating nationwide secondary/high schools. CIS caters to the

The school I am observing at is St. Charles West High School in St. Charles, Missouri. My host teacher is Mr. Steve Smith. Mr. Smith has been at St. Charles West for almost 10 years and is very passionate about his job. He teaches 3 different courses: Civics, Contemporary Issues, and an AP course. I will be teaching a lesson to his Civics class. His students range in age from 14 years old to 18 years old. Mr. Smith also attends Lindenwood and is working to get an administration position at St. Charles West.

Eighty percent’s of transfer students coming to LIM College have to go to admissions for credit re-evaluation at least three times before graduation. Due to the fact that admissions don’t pay close attention to course descriptions and transfer credit with other colleges that LIM College are partners with. Many transfer students have problems to graduate on time as they were planning. However, if admission would follow the transfer credit policy, all full time transfer students should be able to graduate after two years from transferring. Study has shown that many students quit school after transferring to a different college because of the credit requirement. However, many colleges, including LIM College, have a maximum amount of transfer credit allowed (Admissions, 2014). Students should find out course transferability before enrolling and also check that the courses will total toward general and upper level courses. Although, LIM College has a maximum transfer credit requirement, transferring the right credit with help students be on the right track and graduate faster.

The transition from life in high school can be problematic for the majority of students.

Though this problem not only affects the students but also their families and the community, it is significant to address the issue as a whole. Male students at the middle school are labeled as troublesome and often regarded as incompetent when unable to perform academically well. Unfortunately, these boys come disadvantaged homes and lack emotional and academic support because many live in one parent household or both parents may be away from home trying to earn a living to provide for their families. Some of these families have few resources, speak little or no English, and possess limited time to supervise their children after school is released. Many of the students encountered at RMMS mentioned that their parents leave their home as early

My first reason is that every one I mean everyone is different and they all have different artistic abilities. Not everyone wants to get out on a stage and sing or play an instrument in front of a couple hundred people. They could have the fear of going to stage and forgetting a word or forgetting a note and then every one laugh at them. They you have people who really plain and simple can't draw or paint worth a lick and the same people could have tried playing a instrument or tried singing but that wasn't for them either. So why make someone do something that they don't want to do in the first place.

The experience of being an exchange student can be everlasting on most students. Exchannge student are students in high school or post-secondary systems of education who leave their home countries to spend anywhere between a few weeks and an entire year within a foreign country. Starkville High School has three foreign exchange students this school year: Paul Enseling, Eduardo Aguero, and Benedetta Trentarossi.
