BRIT School

-- and he's quite the hunk, according to a new report. So, who is Malia Obama's new "squeeze," as Daily Mail describes the fellow Harvard student? Meet Rory Farquharson, a 19-year-old Brit who attended the esteemed Rugby School. Not only is that a big deal in England, but also Malia's beau was named Head of School during his time there. Rory left the United Kingdom behind after deciding to pursue higher education in the United States. As a sophomore, he's further along at the university than Malia

Good afternoon attendees, thank you and welcome to the Reality Bites Writer’s Fest. Also a big thankyou to the organisers of this event, without you I wouldn’t be here to promote myself. By the way, I’m Chas Newkey-Burden, hello. I wrote the book Amy Winehouse, and as the title states it is a biography about the one and only Amy Winehouse. As a character, unlike any other artist, it would be a crime for me not to document and frame such a life. May she rest in peace. When I wrote this book, Amy was

During my entire life, I have been active in my Jewish community, always being connected to the Jewish school (Colégio Israelita Brasileiro), the synagogue (SIBRA) and other Jewish institutions in my city. Actually, I first entered Jewish school at age two and I studied there until my graduation in high school what made the “morim” and the school staff

just straiten up things before you leave for school. I would help but I’m late for work.” “I don’t want to go to school today,” Laurianna declared. She paused to see if her mother would start up a speech or insist that she go. Laurianna was a freshman at Versas High. Even though it was mid January, she was pretty nervous about starting in the middle of the semester and being behind. “Well that’s no way to start off your second semester in a new school” her mother exclaimed. She could hear her mother

With the first home football game of the season taking place on Labor Day weekend, we thought it would give us a great opportunity to create a video that gives viewers a glimpse of what it’s like to be a Brit. We chose this as our video idea for a number of reasons. The school was hosting a great tailgate for families, friends, alumni and students including entertainment and food and beverages; we knew that we could expect a decent turn out.

Honestly I love college rather than my high school. My high school can rot in hell for all I care. They always left us loads of homework, six packets plus reading a day, for six classes. As if we did not have a life, and we went home to be couch potatoes. Some of us had a job, others like myself were in a sport or club, so when we got home either it was 10 PM or 11 PM.

I'm a junior here at Canby High School and my previous class experience in English has improved quite a bit since freshman year. English has always been the type of class that I was afraid of because I was not that good at writing essays.

Are Teachers Responsible? In his article “Kenneth Cole Gets Schooled” David Sirota writes, “Taking an honest look at America’s education system brings up queries about why other less economically stratified nations have unionized teachers and far better academic results than here in America (761)” Students in other countries such as Korea, Finland, Japan, the Netherlands, and Canada have far better academic results than those in America, yet the teachers are not the one who need to be accepting

A seminal study recently commissioned by a government Committee of Teacher Education Policy (COTEP), the so-called National Teacher Education Audit (henceforth referred to as the Audit), reported that there is an over-supply of teachers in some school subjects (e.g. Biblical Studies) and an under-supply in other subjects (e.g. Science and Mathematics). These findings seem to corroborate widespread news reports that new teachers are not finding employment. The apparent contradiction between supply
