it is possible to gain education. Some may find these opportunities through books, movies, friends, or even just from daily activity. Although I have learned a great deal of information from these themes, I have noticed that I have surprisingly gained a lot of education from my band class provided at my high school. Not only have I learned the importance of music, but I have gained many educational values. Throughout my life, one place I have surprisingly gained education from, including time management
they instilled their beliefs of the importance of education in me. In the third grade, I was accepted into the Center Based Gifted (CBG) program, and was surrounded with other educationally driven people from that time until I graduated from middle school. From there on, I applied for several specialty centers in my county, which closely resemble colleges in their application processes and the emphasis on certain fields of academia. The Math and Science High School at Clover Hill was the most fitting
Over the years, the education system has changed. The development of society has led to many of its aspects facing alterations in order for it to properly adapt. Regardless, society has not resolved all the problems that exist within the school system. A myriad of issues remain, particularly in high school. High school students typically lack interest in school, yet find interest in school sports, television, current events, or any other similar items and ideas, placing their focus there rather than
I understand that high school students can just as easily graduate and attend an ivy league institution, or drop out and live a life of drugs and crime. Growing up in low income communities in Lynn, Massachusetts and Burlington, North Carolina allowed me to see what can happen to students that had support in their academic endeavours, and students that did not. I used to play pickup football with my friends in the neighborhood, friends that never had the emotional or academic support to be successful
I envision IntelliSchool as a place of high school students who have enrolled to finish their high school education that might have been hindered by someone or something. I personally admire these people, who regardless of the struggles they have faced, they still have the audacity to keep growing as a human being. As a public charter school, IntelliSchool is a diverse environment that includes all kinds of socioeconomic groups and ethnicities. Some of my biggest fears are not being able to adapt
Through out school, starting all the way back from kindergarten and up through high school, students are taught a various amount of skills. In kindergarten students learn basic shapes, the ABC’s, and colors. In first grade it is numbers all the way up to one hundred. Then kids begin to learn addition, subtraction, multiplication, division, history, science, algebra, English, and then BOOM. Nowhere in that long list are students taught any sort of actual communication skills. Nor are they taught any
ideal high-paying job has been saturated with the fact that going to a four-year school is required. Now, when this concept may be false, it still is important to understand that your chances of landing that particular job or career will be increased. Something that should also be taken into consideration is that college isn’t for everyone and it's ultimately the student's decision whether or not to go. This relates to Ken Robinson’s TED TALK when he stated that the misconception of education within
Every student's comprehension in high school education varies greatly. While there are students who “breeze through” without the need to study, or require help. There are those, like myself, that have not been so lucky. Every student will also have differing educational work ethics experiences, attitudes and beliefs, and the purpose of education and school. My experiences of school are similar to several other students, we struggle and have to work hard for everything we achieve. I would never
High schools need to focus on all subjects equally. No subject should be more important than another. The way to accomplish teaching all subjects equally is to hire more personnel and teach in smaller groups. The high schools today need new rules to fit society today. Students need to be treated as adults to mature and prosper in the outside world. Teachers who gave more responsibility to their students have seen improvement. The high schools today have many problems which need to change to become
Easy A They didn’t teach me anything! I learned more in pre-k and kindergarten then I ever learned in high school! I have always loved learning new things, but oh! How sad it is to know my best learning years where in my lowest level grade. Why do teachers force you to cram and now at such a young age but when you get to your teen years it seems all teachers get amnesia and forget how to teach students, and just hand you the easy grade. Just go ahead and call it an easy A in that class because
