School started and I sat in the front with a group of people I didn’t know. I looked around, seeing a lot of students already talking to their friends. None of my friends were there. I looked down as the teacher introduced herself. The class started and I just sat there exploring the room. I added all of my things into my desk. Once the bell rang, I went to my next class. We had to stay together as a class in the hallways, “single file line” as the teacher would say. The day went on the same way
It started as just a normal day. “Ring, Ring, Ring!...Ring, Ring, Ring”! That was my alarm telling me to get up and get ready to go to school. I woke up, brushed my teeth, took a shower, then put on my clothes. I walked out the door to my mom’s car, got in and we went to pick up my friend to take him to school like every single day. When we arrived at school I got out of my mom’s and told her goodbye. I went into the lobby and waited for about five minutes to go to my first class which was homeroom
award they quickly realize that coming to school is not simply a requirement, rather it is a privilege. This privilege includes new opportunities to better oneself, as well as, to take advantage of the phenomenal educational system of South Carolina. I have not always understood the significance of making it a priority to come to school, but, as I have grown, the importance of attendance has taken on a new light. In a child’s mind, school is not a priority, rather, in most cases, it
From research and observation, school is a privilege, and school is also something that we, as a nation, often take for granted. School has not always been mandatory or free and not everyone was able to become educated. In the story “The First Day,” a young five-year-old child tells the story of her first day of kindergarten, accompanied by her mother. Her mother seemed proud and confident, dressing her daughter in the best clothes, with the best hairstyle, even though they did not have much, ensuring
School. The word, school, is one in which I remember reciting during a spelling bee in third grade. Although nerve wrecking, I remember feeling relieved that my hard work and memorization skills had finally paid off. That same feeling of excitement is equate to graduating twelve years of school with consecutive perfect attendance. Accomplished. I could not have graduated any happier knowing that my twelve years of hard work, dedication, and respect was being recognized. What perfect attendance means
Why school? Throughout life, we always tend to wonder whether or not having an education is beneficial and can end up leading to a life of success. As students, we always search for the deliverance that will help us to answer this question. When we are young, we view school as a place to meet new people and a place that we go to have fun. But once we grow out of this stage, we wonder what the true reasoning behind education actually is. We as students tend to outgrow the day to day lifestyle of forcing
up, I loved going to school and dreamed of one day attending college. Attending school every day and receiving good grades had become my top priority from K-12. I excelled from K-8th grade, but entering into high school was completely different than primary school. The atmosphere and environment was new to me, I was free to roam the halls or walk back out the door without any repercussions. This began my downward spiral in high school. My freshman year was by far the best school year for me because
The importance of learning how to read and write is called, literacy. “Oh my gosh! I want to rip my hairs out!” I told myself this as I was writing a research paper in the eighth grade. Reading and writing used to feel like a chore, until one day when my English teacher saw me struggling and was determined to help me enjoy it if not even love it. I could feel the sweat trickling down my face and I could hear the frustration inside me. I was counting down the seconds till this class was over. I
My classroom management philosophy has developed through many years of teaching experience, but through it all I believe all students can learn and grow, even students with special needs. I teach in a classroom designated for slow learners, many of which have cognitive impairments. My students may not learn in the same way as others or as much as other students, but they can learn and should be given that opportunity. I believe in focusing on my students’ gifts and talents, not their disabilities
Homework in Schools When it comes to homework there are many practices that are in play in the world of education in the United States of America. Most likely each school district has their own homework policy that they follow and some might be similar to others but there is no one uniform homework policy in the U.S and to be honest there should not be one. Each school district is unique when it comes to their student population. In this paper I will discuss my opinion on homework through the grade
