Sublette School: Student Analysis

Some people believe education enslaves us and other people believe education liberates us. The education that students receive is both boring and incorrect; in the Oxford dictionary it defined education, “a process of receiving or giving systematic instruction, especially at a school or university”. I strongly believe education enslaves us. Schools don’t educate, they only teach people to follow orders. Sherman Alexie tackles his own process of education, one that includes a voracious hunger for the written word. His experience with education was one of autonomy, and his relationship to learning led him to future success. On the other hand, John Taylor Gatto also suggests for a more unrestricted learning experience, a complete opposite from the regimented factory-like settings of compulsory mass education. Arguing against the harm that public school creates, Gatto suggests promoting learning instead of “schooling”.

Point Loma Nazarene University (PLNU) has an established community living agreement, which directs all its members on how to carry themselves within the institution’s environment, as well as in the community. The institution’s mission is to offer higher education within a Christian community where character is modeled and transformed to express Christian faith. Students who join the institution are expected to maintain good conducts, which are guided by the Holy Spirit.

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.

All of these wounds are produced in school environments that are intolerant of cognitive, emotional, or identity differences. They produce alienation for the learner, and reduce pleasure in learning.

In my time here at Sublette Middle School, I have never perceived more about myself or my peers. I have gained massive amounts of intelligence, and stress, through my experience. But, I believe that all of the stress and anxiety was worth it, because it has contributed to my perspective

The last twelve years of my life, I have spent the last four or five years of my life focusing on improving my academics and learning how to become a better person. The one consistent drive that pushed me to succeed academically is my dream of attending Kennesaw State University (KSU). Unfortunately, in today’s economic climate I have to be realistic and factor in out-of-state fees and the impact these fees would have on my family’s financial health. That was until I discovered this amazing waiver that gives out of state students an opportunity to pay tuition as a Resident rather than a Nonresident. The KSU OutKSU Out-Of-State Waiver will make my dream of attending KSU a reality. However, I’m sure many other students have come across this waiver and learned it is not handed out to every applicant; it is limited and should be awarded to the most

As a Richland Collegiate High School student, I am always attacked by stressors in my academic life. The stress provoked by school-related objects often bled into my home and social life. It created an unhealthy environment where I felt weighed down by the stress. Due to the stress, I often lost my appetite and started sleeping less. My mother worried that I was depressed or that I was developing an eating disorder, but I just did not know how to pick myself up and just get things done. I lacked motivation, self-control, and a healthy balance of work and relaxation. Throughout the course, I have been picking up on some of the strategies I can use to help alleviate my stress and subsequently improve other aspects of my life.

This school made it appear that the student in East St. Louis were trapped in the Matrix. The students at this school had access to all the basic resources and numerous other immentities, that would enhance their academic experience. These students have feasible dreams and they will most likely achieve the goals that they have established. Unlike most of the student in East St. Louis whose valuable instruction time is constantly disrupted due to the conditions of the building. Where do we draw the line? When do we level the playing field for all American youth regardless of race and socio economic

We spend about seven hours at school every day for five days every week for nine months out of the year. It becomes our second home, and it is supposed to teach us they ways of the world and how to survive in it. However, just like everything valuable, it comes at a price, which often is in the form of a student’s health, sanity, and originality. Given that Thoreau, Emerson, and other transcendentalists value individualism and freedom of thought as essential aspects of a human being’s life, they would despise the education system of today, as it forces students to conform and restrain their minds in order to be successful.

The average person spends 18,720 hours in “prison”- I mean school and that's not including the 9,360 hours spent doing homework. Therefore, that means a person spends almost 28,080 hours of their life dedicated to kindergarten through senior year. That gives a student a lot of time to learn and develop as a person, but do the students really learn? In the essay, “School is a prison-and damaging our kids”, author Peter Gray poorly argues that the school in our society has not helped, but hurt its students. In doing so Gray weakens his piece by using invalid premises, a lack of credibility, and informal writing structure .

When children dread going to school, do you ever question why the child has already lost their eagerness for learning? In Chicago, Illinois, and numerous other places in the US, you can come across kids walking with their heads down and hands behind their backs in a single file line

With all those students in there you would think there would be at least one teacher per class. This is the reason many kids are doing dangerous activities such as stealing and joining gangs because there's no teacher to keep them occupied otherwise. they find any reason they can do to keep themselves busy. Is this the direction our nation is going towards, a nation full of ignorance and violence? The sad truth is that in many parts yes, it has been taken over by savagery.’There are not enough teachers who are both qualified and willing to teach.”(Heather Voke)

As a leader of a charter school I see myself as strong leader that knows how to make decisions that are positive for my school in every way shape or form. My main strength is knowing how to hold staff and parents accountable for their actions. Monitoring and Evaluating Programs

If you compare today to the early 19th and 20th century, you’ll see how people feel about learning is different from now. In the book, “The American School, A Global Context, From the Puritans to the Obama Administration” you read about how back then people had it hard to go to school due to many types of segregation. Where people suffer just to get the same education as a white person. And if you walk in the halls in some schools today, you can see much has change. Every day when I’m in class you see how they some doesn’t really care. You see them on there phone and coming late to class when it’s almost time to go, expecting that at the end of the say they deserve an A or B in that class.

Deciding what to eat for lunch, debating which extracurricular activities to join and making friends are typically common things you think of when thinking about school. In most cases when one thinks of school they think of making friends, having fun, learning and gaining independency,
