    Throughout the course of my high school career, I have learned that great success can come with failure. As stated by Denis Waitley, “Failure should be our teacher, not our undertaker. Failure is delay, not defeat. It is a temporary detour, not a dead end. Failure is something we can avoid only by saying nothing, doing nothing, and being nothing.” Waitley’s quote has inspired me to not only learn from my mistakes, but to use them to my advantage by learning more about myself and what I can accomplish

    The small changes I have made, have had very low amount of difference from my grades. I believe I did really good studying these last couple of weeks, and my grades have shown because I have a 4.0 in the 2nd quarter. I still think though that my note taking method is a lot more efficient than the ones I tried. I tried using all of these weird methods like taking different kinds of notes such as longer and more detailed ones rather than my bulleted points. In class I still contributed the same amount

    to allow students to” look forward with their grades create a more accurate display of progress. This is so wrong for a multitude of reasons. Switching to this flawed system would create far more problems than it would solve because SBG is inferior to traditional grades, SBG is much more disorganized than the current “traditional” grading system, and SBG is unnoticed by colleges. The first fatal flaw of SBG is that it is inferior to traditional grades in certain areas. As the name suggests, standards-based

    Cameron M Leads You Nowhere I continued to blush in fear. Where could my calculator be? I received bad grades, averaging a B in every class, except math. In my class, my math grade was the lowest of anyone else, a 72.77%. My dad told me that I needed to get good grades in order to get the things I want. I had promised him that I would do well. I’m all about promising good things. I do it when I feel it is necessary. As my teacher passed out

    encouragement, and I lived for the stuff. Later, anyone’s, admittedly less potent, praise could hook me, and so I grew, inebriated and arrogant. After all, only a great person could do the great things I was told I did, or so I thought. All A’s in third grade earned me praise, a trip to get ice cream, and a high strong enough that a dropped cone would not waver the smile that bridged the gap between my ears. It overwhelmed me then but forever underwhelmed me since. Every subsequent rush, every fleeting

    Education has always been about the encouragement of improving and learning more.  Each year, it is expected that students will achieve greater things and get higher grades.  At least that was always the expectation Champion High School. Unfortunately,  Ms. Heather Fetterman did not get the memo.  As a ninth grade English teacher,  she taught absolutely nothing and many would feel less intelligent after enduring her class.  Leaving her class every day meant another issue that could not be easily

    I have always tried my hardest in school, trying my best to make my parents proud of me. Have there been time when I could have tried harder? Absolutely. There have been many times where I have found myself slipping in my schoolwork, and I have always caught myself. There is one time in particular of my junior year that I won't soon forget. It was the beginning of what was looking to be a long week. It was supposed to be outrageously cold, I had a full weekend of work to look forward too, and I

    gathered us here today to explain the cause of this boycott; likewise, we would like to voice out our fellow students’ concerns during this conversation. Mr. Rogers treated us unfairly and showed a clear dislike towards females. “C? This is the lowest grade I’ve ever got! How is this possible?” Exclaimed female student Annie, as she pointed to her report card.One would likely infer at first that this is due to her lack of studying, but that is only part of the story. In reality, Annie is the valedictorian

    mention of the word “grade.” Some students, on the other hand, can’t hide their excitement at the thought of finally getting their tests back after a whole torturous weekend. Not to mention, when finally receiving the test scores, students immediately ask each other the infamous question, “what’d you get?” For almost every assignment in school, a grade gets entered into a grade book. Students will often rush to their computers (even during class time) when they get word that their grades have been entered

    TEES New Tee Construction I was impressed with the new tee boxes on the 8th hole. The tee boxes are establishing well with no major concerns outside of the soil interface or layer that is associated with the sod used to establish the tees. They tee surfaces should be core aerated with 1/2 inch hollow tine in the coming weeks when weather conditions are not too stressful. Try to complete the core aeration again in mid-summer when weather conditions permit and repeat the process again in late summer
