Successful American Students

Twenty-five percent of American Teenagers drop out of high school each year. What does this say about America’s education system? Are students not interested or are they tired of memorizing a subject and then having a letter grade represent how much they can remember. Some articles suggest that America should decrease the number of years that teenagers spend in high school because many teenagers already know what they want to study and do not want to be stuck studying something they are not good at or interested in. America needs to redesign the school system so it can help students prepare for their future and have more classes that students are interested in.

Another part of the problem with high schools is the amount of homework is given to students. Let’s say that a student has five classes a day and receives five hours of homework each night. That leaves the student little to no time to spend time with family and friends, go to work, play a sport, and even

People expect so much out of teenagers, especially the students who are involved in sports and maintain a job throughout the school year. They are expected to attend classes and their extracurricular activities; they have to make it to work on time, finish their homework, do their studies, and on top of that, get enough sleep at night. This is the kind of busy schedule students uphold in their week and it’s overwhelming for them. It causes stress and exhaustion, and people still expect them to do well and keep up with everything. Is this how we want students to feel all the time? Sure we want them to accomplish goals and be the best they can be, but one way to relieve some stress is less homework. When they come home from work or sports

“School lacks personal growth training, financial management, communication training, emotional intelligence, and healthy training.” Students entering the real world as a newborn baby was just born. They’ll have to learn how to boost their credit score, conversate with other employers, and build a healthy routine. Every little thing, should’ve been taught in school because not all students have the same ambition to go to college to further their education. “It doesn’t indicate whether or not you’ll be successful in your marriage, raising your kids, managing your money, or giving back to your community” stated by Shelly Wright. Because they are the future generation, school is supposed to set students up for success, not failure. One day they’ll be the one taking care of the elderly, but if they can’t take care of themselves; then how can they manage to take of the

All around me are people who would like nothing better to not be in an educational setting. The moans and groans I hear around me, due to stress, causes me to stress. The amount of times I've heard students say they wish they could just drop out, is a daily recurrence. Where has the want to be something bigger gone? Has it simply just disappeared? Yes, school is stressful. Yes, homework is the reason for failing grades. All of these aspects of school can build each student into what they want. A person just can't go into an interview for a CEO position with the words "some high school" on the education area on an application or resume. As a child, you have always wanted to be something big and as the years go on it gets more and more real.

Many college students have struggle with school, work, and their personal life responsibilities. Once you become a college student there is a lot of struggles. College students tend to demonstrate that no matter what they tried to manage their life. Also, you tried to do all things possible to accomplish school ,and have have at least free days or times in their life.There is severals ways that successful students manage work,school, and their their personal life.

Do your kids, or young teenagers, ever come home and complain about all the loaded school work that they have received? Do they ever say that they do not have time for other activities? Do they look tired and stressed out? There has been many on debates about whether the academic school year should get stretched on longer or not. A key point to keep in mind is that every students’ capabilities are different on many different levels. Young teens are not prepared for the time and sudden dedicated work that is needed for school. Thus, many reasons can lead to the conclusion of why the year should not be extended such as; it can place negative impact on students’ mind, can result in lack of time to do extra circular, and increase the burden of financial costs.

Do you like to be stressed? When are you most stressed, probably during a busy time of the year? Maybe work for adult and then for the younger adult child most of them would answer school. Like most people no one enjoys to be stressed. Unfortunately there are many things in life that cause a person to feel stress. One of these things for some people would be there education. With America having many different law on education all American are given a free education till they are out of high school. With school being mandatory and being a major part of a person’s life it can also be a very stressful process for many people. The debate whether or not students are being pushed too hard in school had been discussed in great deal over the past

When parents send their first graders off to school, they are more likely than not hoping their children learn something useful. While others go to school excited to show off their new toy car or power ranger, some children go excited to learn something new. Throughout the years this pattern stays the same. In middle school, some students are excited finally to have the option to take advanced courses, while others are more excited to show their peers the new make up their mom allowed them to wear for the first time. Once the students enter high school, they are constantly battling social, emotional and physical issues. The focus on education declines due to the pressure of excelling at extracurricular activities.

Petitioning for a change in school does not hope to lighten a high school load, rather, the school system should differ to allow more people a significant chance to greater impact the world. Many argue teenagers do not possess maturity to decide a lifetime occupation to pursue, but most teenagers will generally know what subjects they feel passionate about and want to invest time into. Often times, as well, bright minded students fail to perform under the pressure of timed tests. If the testing finds a way to reveal how a person will perform in a more specific work environment, a greater understanding of how a student will impact the world will result. Simple altercations to high school provide monumental impacts as teenagers will value

Students stress about school most of their life time. They overwork themselves to the point that the

When I first entered high school, I was excited because I thought I was finally going to be able to take classes that fit my interests. I thought that I was going to be able to explore my strengths and weaknesses to determine what careers I should consider to go into. When I graduated high school in the summer of 2016, I felt that I came out of high school dumber than when I came in. I was unsure that I was going into the right field of work because my needs were not met by my high school. That is the problem with modern day high schools in America. If I hear someone say that high school was the best four years of their life, I can defiantly assume that they graduated at least thirty to forty years ago. I have heard my peers say that they felt like they were in prison rather than in high school because they feel their interests are not met by the school. Students in American high schools feel this way more often than parents and other adults would think. There are problems that parents and other adults don’t recognize with modern day high schools because they are not there to observe what exactly happens in a classroom. Modern day high schools are creating one-note students from killing their individuality. If student’s individuality was taken into consideration, it would benefit the whole school system by creating happier students and teachers.

High school is a time of stress and anxiety. This not only includes school work and social life, but the school system plays as tremendous of a part in it as the student himself. People complain, “the school system does nothing to prepare students for tests, school work etc.” or “school is being forced upon us, why even go?”. These issues not only change the way students act, but the way they affect society.

During my observation time in a kindergarten classroom, I have noticed that the students have a wide variety of abilities, attention spans, interests, and love for learning. When it comes to the teacher’s instructional strategies, she intentionally takes into consideration all of the above characteristics to make sure each student gets what they need to be most successful. During lessons students are engaged because of the teacher’s ability to implement interests of the student’s into things and giving them options. If an error occurs during a lesson, the teacher normally, allows for the student who got something wrong to try again, or to call on a friend to help them out. This way the students are still giving the answers and not the teacher just telling them the information. The teacher chooses a lot of small group instruction and centers where she can work with a small group, but then, easily monitor all the other groups to make sure they are on task and doing their work.

Smaller class sizes should be implemented throughout the United States to help our children better learn. Research has shown that smaller class sizes have a positive effect in the learning environment by encouraging students to participation more. According to Blatchford’s observations, he came to the conclusion that students in classes of 19 and less had more students start interactions with the teacher, in comparison to students in classes of 33 and more who instead had teachers starting more interactions (Folmer-Annevelink 31). With more teacher to student interaction, the individual needs of each student can be better met. Teaching environments that do not involve as much teacher to student interaction can negatively affect the educational success of the students. “…because larger classes are frequently associated with traditional methods of
