Support A Teaching Paradigm Change By Working Collaboratively With Colleagues

Some say that high school is the best four years of life but, this is not the case for everyone. Leon Botstein certainly would not agree with that statement. In his article “Let Teenagers Try Adulthood,” Botstein talks about all that needs changed with high schools and schooling in general. However, his argument is not powerful. Botstein’s use of syntax, diction, and structure is ineffective.

High school is one of the most important things to a student's life. It is the foundation

As an educator, it is my job to find new ways for my students to learn that coincides with their particular learning style and takes advantage of their strengths. In all practical terms, this will mean finding new ways for each of my students to learn in their own particular way. As a whole, my students will need more reason to learn with authentic experiences, hands-on

High school…last steps we take before we ready the adult world, but are they really preparing us for it? What we need is more freedom and changing some school rules can help. During our lunch periods, we should be given more freedom like being able to leave school grounds and buying our own lunch.

I think I speak for many people when I say high school is a critical point in one’s life. Coming into high school, things seemed to be tightly-knitted between my peers and I; those of us who had just

Entering high school is the beginning of a whole new learning experience. Transitioning from middle school, high school presents more classes, students, and a bigger campus. It brings new expectations and responsibilities to each of us. High school also offers fresh chances to make new friends, try new sports and activities, and really explore who we are as individuals. The goal is to maintain good grades, score high on the SAT test, and keep a positive attitude so colleges and universities will accept you. Of course it's not as easy at sounds, but it's achievable. It requires a lot of work and dedication to every subject. Some students breeze their way through while others live in misery trying to pass their

Do you remember all those days as a little kid you envied all those highschool teenagers?As a little kid I’m pretty sure we all dreamed of the day we would begin highschool,but we knew highschool was all peaches and cream.So we all sorta dreaded the day would come,yet we knew there was some perks to it too.I always looked forward to numerous of things,but two of the perks I yearned the most were the diversity of classes there were and the fredom and spirit most highshoolers seemed to have.Of course thougt there is a downfall to highschool too,the loads of homework and the strict teachers behind them.

High school is full of amazing opportunities, but you are responsible for taking those opportunities and transforming them into meaningful

High School; the most rigorous and aggravating part of my life. “People say high school is about obtaining an education and pursuing acceptance into an exceptional college to succeed in life. To me high school is about building memories and marvelous times that will last forever.” High school has always seemed like something facile due to all the movies that we have watched throughout our childhood, although in reality it is a challenging and momentous part of our life. High school is about obtaining my education, yet obtaining an education can also be enjoyable. Throughout high school, I’ve been completing all my high school requirements and a little extra.

High school is only what you make of it. It is a time for new experiences, meeting new people, and intellectually growing. Making the most of life while you’re young is something you won’t ever regret because in the near future, the good and the

Some of us look forward to high school, while some of us dread it. High school has been a enjoyable but stressful three years for me. Things would have been much different if I knew what I know today. Yes, it’s true what your parents say - you live and you learn- but high school only comes around one time and each year carries on to the next.

It’s stressful but graduating early has helped me mature way faster than others around me.

High school often times has a drastic effect on many students. From freshman to seniors, everyone looks at high school with a different perspective. Some love it, some hate it, and some just go because they have to, or the exact opposite; they don’t show up because “high school is not important.”

High school can be one of the hardest parts of some people’s lives, but it gets better. With our combined determination and concentration we can reach a new aspect of life. We can change our lives for the better. We can endure all the long night studying and hardships like being late once for class or sleep deprived, but we can rest assured that our futures will

Yet, the education does not stop at middle school, for high school really puts all the basic skills from elementary and middle school to work as the assignments and the exams become more challenging. We do not only learn about reading, writing, history, and math, we learn about the people around us as we associate with different personalities, and as we see what we have grown up to be and what we want to be later in life.
