The Importance Of Education In High School

A quote from Ralph Waldo Emerson; "Unless you try to do something beyond what you have already mastered, you will never grow." I would have to agree with him because you cannot do the same thing over and over again. You can experience new things in life that can make things exciting. Eventually, you are going to take risks in which would lead to either goof or bad, it's all about learning and experiencing new things in life. Doing something new can not only benefit you but help you grow as a person. Mastering subjects in school is not relatively easy to do. Although, I am really good at math. Considering the fact that I take two math class, Algebra 2 and Geometry in which I have a B in Geometry and a B+ in Algebra 2. However, I was always

Have you ever wondered, who am I or who do I want to be. For most people going through highschool helps them find out. You might think your someone your not in middle school or you might be trying to be what people want you to be. There are so many activities or clubs you can be in that will help you find out.

When I got to high school, my grades started to climb. I was trying. In middle school, learning was hard for me, so instead of trying, I chose to give up. When faced with failure in class, I caved and quit without a second thought. When I encountered failure yet again with my grades, this time being worse, it made me feel like nothing, so I decided to conquer it and become something. Feeling ashamed of myself for being a poor student has brought me to improve myself. At first I wanted to improve my grades so I didn’t look dumb, but now I was doing it for me and my future. If my friends didn’t make an effort to receive good grades in school, I wouldn’t be the same student I am today. They helped change me for the better, and they don’t even

High school taught me how to properly dissect a cat, how to find the missing angle of triangle, and to raise my hand and ask for permission when i need to use the bathroom. What high school never taught me was to learn how to find a job, pay taxes, buy a house, nor how to establish a good credit. High school has given me a good education but it didn't shape me as a person, i was shaped by people, experiences, failure, and loss. Through experience my parents and family members taught me that when one door closes another one opens, how to be independent, and the difference from right and wrong. Experience is one of the main keys to success, experience has taught me to make good decisions. My parents took me traveling to show me when a person

A climax of my life was moving from New Jersey to California over the summer between 6th and 7th grade. Luckily I had already made the transition from elementary to middle school, but I still had considerable adjustments to make. For instance, I came from a grade of 250 students to a section of just 80, and was introduced to the concept of honors classes. Nevertheless, I found that the academic adjustments were minor, and the bigger issue was cultural. My New Jersey hometown is tiny and has a library with limited resources. On the other hand, Beverly Hills’ beautiful library boasts a newly renovated children’s section. While many of my friends’ parents rode the train to commute to New York City, Beverly parents all seem to drive. My family

It is important to have a high school education, because the higher education you have the better job you get. Also getting a high school education sets you on the path if what you might want to do in the future.

Going to college as a sixteen year old would definitely be a change any student would have to become accustomed to. My mom, dad, friends and pets are all within the city limits of Corbin, Kentucky. I am extremely close to my parents and don’t know what I would do without them. Going a full week not seeing them face to face will be a challenge. I am the proud owner of three furry pets whom I am very attached to and love so dearly. I would miss my cats curling up next to me for an afternoon nap, or my dog deciding to lick my face so he can get a treat. My classmates and I have bonded for over eleven years, sharing the time facing disappointments and overcoming obstacles. To not finish out high school with my friends by my side would be bizarre,

I will be sharing my personal experience on why high school plays such an important role in our lives, and how it has impacted my life. Earning a high school diploma is extremely important, many people don’t have that in mind, but education is very essential to students. To have basic knowledge of all the subjects in school and identifying skills and how earning a high school diploma will take you further in life than you expect.

High school most certainly changes many people without even realizing it. Certain things are not the same as they were back in middle school. This new transition to high school was an absolute shock to me, I never believed such events would occur or things would end up changing. Based on that, I wished things would go back to being the same, but there was no point in trying, because nothing was going to go back to normal. Do not ever think that in high school, you will end up graduating with the same group of friends as you did when you were in middle school. In high school, so many things will transform and whether you like it or not, you cannot do anything about it to fix this situation.

1.) The most important social institution is Education because it teaches norms and it it could be argued that it preserves order and gives a sense of purpose as well. The reason being because, over summer break many kids don’t know what to do with themselves and they often lay around all day, sometimes to the point of not even knowing what day it is anymore. That can effects the physical and mental health of the kid causing possible weight gain and maybe a depressed state. Without being on that daily schedule, many kids feel kind of lost and purposeless. Also some kids may struggle to find substantial amounts of food over the summer due to financial circumstances, school provides more than just an education for a lot of people. I chose education over the others because education creates opportunities for people to better their situations. For people who have low income, they often can afford to put themselves through school which can help pull themselves out of poverty. Education also, for someone who is not from the states, it can give them a sense of what is acceptable and what is not. School also gives people the opportunity to make social connections with their peers and teachers. It also can teach you how to work in a group, how to meet deadlines, how to follow a dress code, problem solving, how to handle stress, how to overcome adversity, it gives ou a chance to be physically active, how to deal with difficult people or situations, it gives kids and teens

Children do not seem to have a sense of future and they often live in the present which is valuable because they are still young. Schooling puts pressure on their future because they are candidates of the future and their adult life is on hold. Though children are young to yet decide their future, they should have the options and experiences to have references for their ideal adult life. Dewey puts pressure on teachers have a duty to facilitate the students to help discover what they are interested in. By finding students’ interest, teachers should teach their students in the idea play so that students do not seem to be forced to learn something but rather it is because they want to learn. To add on, he believes that children should be making the choices through experiences and emphasizes “hand-on” learning which further indicates teaching in play and having experiences. Dewar uses the phrase “think for oneself” to the ideal education system, a person doing an action based on their own decisions without the help or influences of others which means that the proper way of teaching is, teachers aren't supposed to feed children the answers but rather children are suppose to come up with an answer but the teacher is there to guide you. every individual within themselves have untrained skills but are waiting for it be released or be stimulated.This relates back to Kliebard idea of having children in programs set for a specific job but if they have specific jobs that do not need

Reminiscing the anecdote of my high school life had shaped me to be a responsible person. Missing a place for further education after completing grade 10 was a complete failure. I had to go back to the village and live as a villager with norm subsistence lifestyle. My family’s perception towards me is for me to pass grade 6 exam to the high school (8 – 10), and then to national high school and eventually to college or university. When I do this, I will promote my family’s name as well as my clan’s name.

Gabriela Diaz, a former professor at New Mexico State University for eight years, she is not your average high school teacher. Student’s work line the walls of her classroom, curious handmade dolls from the story of The Crucible adorned next to the board . Diaz, who holds advanced degrees in both Spanish and English literature, impresses students with her elevated vocabulary. This is the quality and commonplace of a college professor with a PhD. Diaz is just one of a growing number of PhDs working in Texas high schools.

Across the U.S., there are 15 million students attending 26,407 public high schools. These high schools vary to an astonishing degree- student population can range from a couple dozen to over 13,000. The high school a student attends will have a large impact on their life, and when high schools are so diverse, it’s unsettling to think about the range of quality of education being given to students.

All families have been touched by divorce either within the nuclear family or extended family. Unfortunately, within the nuclear family separation and divorce have become an all too common experience for many American children. When divorce happens in a family the ones affected most are the parents and their children. Teachers are also affected by the divorce of their student’s parents as they themselves have a front-seat to the crisis in the family and how it affects their students.
