The Principal's Office

No matter how alike people may be, segregation is a way of living. As humans we typically find ourselves separated into groups that we can identify with; from being athletic, to being artistic and even a person’s religion. Another path to separation taken by many is by a person’s race. One’s race can be described in a variety of ways; color of the skin, past ancestry, and place of origin. Discrimination is normally placed with race; this can either be a privilege or a disadvantage. A race can

pragmatic philosophies. Rules and punishments for the classroom will be established the first day of school and posted on the walls. I will deal with discipline problems in the classroom, using the idealist approach, sending the students to the principal’s office as a last resort. Punishment for breaking rules will be pulling a card or writing their name on the board, which lowers their deportment grade for the day and takes away part of their recess. Also instead of just punishing the students, I

“Maria even if you get a 60 I’ll still be proud of you.” Those words were verbalized by my fourth grade literature teacher. No words have ever impacted me so powerfully. No words have made me so ambitious to refute. Three years old my family immigrated to the United States. My mother had me clutch to her chest. Her thoughts were consumed of the future that would behold her kids. My mother hoped her children would have a finer life that she so deserved but wasn’t able to have. The first day

Mistakes are something everyone makes. It is a concept that everyone needs to grow and learn from it. When you’re younger you are more prone to making mistakes. For example teens choose the wrong groups to hang with. The groups can be verbally and physically abusive. In this instance, it is known as bullying. From watching someone I care about get bullied, it taught me that not everyone is your friend. Bullying is the most common mistake or problem among teens and young adults. I’ve learned from

where a transgender individual was sent home because what they had on was inappropriate for their sex. And not only does this happen in high school, it happens in middle school and elementary. There has been a case where a girl got sent to the principal's office for showing her collarbones!!! It was said that she failed to wear a shirt that covered her collarbones, she was wearing jeans, a tank top and a white cardigan, which was a violation of the dress code at Woodford County High School.

I was hoping my mom wanted to keep it, after all I was the owner. I found it, not my mother. Then she said, “Tomorrow we will go to school and give it back to whoever this money belongs to.” Tomorrow came and there we were, in the Principal’s office. I remember the reaction of the Principal. She was crying like a river, kissing my mother, and thanking her over and over for her honesty and the great example she was to me. At that the moment I understood why she wanted to give the money back

sent to school and had to take a test. Willow never really liked school. She thought it was pointless and she didn’t learn much from it. Being brilliant as she is, she not only passed the test but also aced it. The next day, she was sent to the principal's office not acknowledging why. Willow was sent there for suspicion of cheating on the test. Willow claimed that did not cheat, but the principal did not believe Willow. Willow was sent a counselor to help guide her in school and her behavior. The counselor's

Richard Wright’s novel, Black Boy In Richard Wright’s novel, Black Boy, Richard is struggling to survive in a racist environment in the South. In his youth, Richard is vaguely aware of the differences between blacks and whites. He scarcely notices if a person is black or white, and views all people equally.

our enrollment decreased from 750 students (2013-2014) to 475 students (2014-2015), which impacted the student based budget. Of the eight teachers we lost, 1 teacher (first year) did meet certification requirements, 4 were first year teachers, two were second year teachers, 2 were “retire rehires”, 1 was an experienced transfer (2013-2014) and the other three teachers had more than 10 years teaching experience. Of the 13 teachers, two were specialists that requested a voluntary transfer. I worked

When talking about the troubles that people face and the issues that society faces, it is important to understand that they both go hand in hand. The private troubles that one faces make contribute to the public issues that the society faces, and vice versa. Growing up there were a few significant events that would be considered my private troubles yet public issues contuted to making the troubles. Growing up I was a fine example of mills theory “Neither the life of an individual nor the history
