The Importance Of School Education In High School

Every fall, millions of students return to school to learn about math and science, English and history, every weekday until summer finally returns. Year after year, the same fundamental classes return and, time after time, seem to faintly impact the students. Schools have been designed so you learn the same information, slightly more in depth, from kindergarten to senior year. What about topics that would further the student in their future after graduation? Schools emphasize the same core subjects throughout the years, but not the real life obstacles millions of millions of people face. What if schools required classes on survival, job interviewing skills, studying, how to pass the SAT- all classes which would further students in their

School is a crucial part of a person’s life due to the amount of knowledge and successability a person might gain in their future. School can also be a place where students can interact with their fellow friends, but for others it can be a traumatizing place due to the amount of stress and also responsibility they might carry . This can be because of the stress teachers may put on the students. This can lead to students not giving their full effort on school, which will cause them to be mediocre students, and they wouldn’t be able to show their teacher the true potential they carry within themselves. These types of students are the one’s who are typically the students that aren’t successful in school. They just don’t

In order to be successful in life students should be taught in high school topics concerning health care, personal finance, learning from failure, credit cards, relationships, finding a job, self defense, and many more, but these should be some of the top ones. Students should at least have an idea of how to do each and one of these topics. Some students don’t have that family support to teach them how to do any of these things, when other students may have all the support. During this time students should be motivated to move on and prepare for adult hood, instead they are brought down with information that will not be useful. For instance, history, yes its nice to know about American history, but when are we really going to put it to use? One reason would be if we were planning on having a career in history. School should be fun and interesting, where students can learn

The things being taught in school are not always what need to be taught in order for the student to succeed in life. The long math problems and odd questions and classes taken do not always help us figure out the more important things people need to learn. Taxes and the classes that students would most likely use in the career they wish to pursue are not always the classes taken or things taught in school. Teachers should not always assign the most difficult or most outrageous problems in order to teach us problem solving skill but teach us things we will actually use in everyday life. Students should be taught the “basic” skills, that students still do not know how to do, that will be used throughout their entire life.

We all know that High School can be stressful, between regular classes, college classes, and whatever else the teachers like to throw on you can almost bring you to a breaking point. While trying to maintain good grades, life only gets worse when you get a table full of goobers. Accidently sitting with a table full of class clowns, honestly, do not help make any classes any better. Their constant chatting, horrible singing/rapping, or bad jokes will distract you, and a majority of the time, leave you with a headache or no work completed. This on top of finding time to study, or creating your perfect environment, are all things that can put a kink in your grades. In order to survive a whole school year like this you have to be prepared and have the nerves of steel.

School, the place where most kids spend their youths to learn. Schools today are not teaching the life skills necessary for students to use when they become an adult. Academic skills are important; however, life skills are absolutely necessary. Life skills can range from knowing how to correctly write a check to something as simple as communication. After graduating high school it is a big leap to join a environment without school. At this point whatever you learned in history about the presidents will have no significant value at all. Life skills are what really matters after high school; how to manage your time, what is interest on buying a car or house, is it worth taking out loans for education, and insurance policies are just a few key essential skills.. These life skills needs to be taught, and taught at school because it is the most efficient place to learn. This genre of a class can also pique the students interests on learning. High school needs to have a life skills class as a graduation requirement for students. This will solve all the addressed issues that will be coming their way in the future. By tweaking the school curriculum it can solve life problems that will drag the students down in the future.

There are many reasons why a high school diploma is important to me. My educations is an important part of my life. I have found that it is valuable to have a high diploma. Having a high school diploma can help you in so many ways such as getting a job, going to college, going to a trade school, etc…. Not many people accomplish their goal of graduating from high school, just like I did not. I came to Job Corps for a reason and that was to complete my high school diploma and complete my trade. Now I feel that education is so important, and it is something people can’t take away from you. Valuing your education is very important, and I feel that it would help you more in life. My parents always told us to do well and get your high school diploma.

Over the course of hundreds of years, students have been overworked and put to much pressure on at a relatively young age. School is necessary for learning and developing many important traits for the real world but determining a young man or woman's whole career based off what they do in school from the ages of 13-18 is outrageous and not right. The expectations of students has grown out of proportion enough that a high school student barely can focus on their personal life. Now the students have to mainly focus on studying and maintaining high grade averages which seems is the only thing that matters now in school systems rather than learning.

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

Throughout the four years that most of us attend high school, we are taught many skills and tricks based off the curriculum the state has provided our teachers with. The “skills” only pertain to the curriculum and not our lives. The high school graduates come out into the real world and are being fed to the sharks of society. Come on, really? These kids were asking to use the restroom no more than four months ago and now they are expected to make life-changing decisions. In high school you are treated like babies, you have to ask to go to the restroom, you get to turn in work late for most of the credit, and you can fail a test as many times as you want and still get the chance to re-take it. High schools do not provide their students with the right skills required once they break out of the little bubble they were once in.

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 that’s what it is! The system is letting us down! They are giving students easy grades. Is there a difference in handing out grades and teaching?

Martin Luther King helped desegregate the education system through peace and non aggression acts, yet some schools are mostly one race. Many schools in public areas such as New York have poor facilities and terrible teaching methods( methods used to get students ready for the working class and not their preferred career). Different places in society offer different educational experience than other places. Articles like “From Social Class And The Hidden Curriculum Of Work” from Jean Anyon and “ Still Separate, Still Unequal” by Jonathan Kozol help shine light on the problems; Different schools have different curriculums, many school are resegregated, and how poorly the segregated school are teaching.

It is apparent that today's youth is heading towards a downward spiral in many aspects of life. One reason for this is probably that schools are not preparing future adults adequately enough for life outside of school. While school may prepare our children in some areas of life such as teaching commitment by coming to school or doing homework every day, that would only apply to students who take school seriously. During my high school years it was obvious that the vast majority of students did not want to be there, as they either did not show up or ditched school as soon as the bell rang. While there are some students who strive to do well in their studies, I don’t believe it Is because “they” want to do well but rather because their parents force them too. In comparison there are only a small percentage of students who take charge of their education. Students should be taught why it is important that they should show up on time every day. On top of that I also believe that teaching students about the real world during high school is a little too late, because by then a lot of students will have lost interest in why it is important to learn these things. Learning about this should come at any early age like any other school subject. These subjects include assuming new responsibilities, taking care of yourself, dealing with money, and preparing for the future.
