School

It is no secret that modern day high school students do not feel engaged during class, and are often bored. The classes that students are required to take rarely pique the interests of pupils, therefore making it difficult to pay attention or enjoy the lessons. A 2007 study conducted by Indiana University, the High School Survey of Student Engagement (HSSSE), showed that two out of three high school students say they are bored in class every day, and 75% of students report that the material being

The question that most students possess coming out of high schools usually refers to “what’s next” or “what do I want to do with my life?” I think that it is important that people have these questions at their disposal because it forces students to not only evaluate their strengths but also discover what really makes them happy. The reason for this correlates towards people striving to work in an area that makes them happy but also provides them with the money they desired in order for life to be

the better option, teaching high school or elementary school? This proposes an interesting question that can only be answered by the individual willing to teach. By comparing high school and elementary school, and delving into three different areas, such as: training, classroom environment, and student behavior, a wise career choice can be made. One of the first things to consider is the training it takes to become a teacher. Both High school and elementary school teachers both have a multiple amount

Being a teenager there are many things I blame school for, but there is one thing that has been proven to be caused by school. Did you know that according to Stanford Medicine more than 87 percent of high school students in the United States get far less than the recommended eight to 10 hours? To many teens they must choose between playing a school sport, doing homework, or getting a good night’s sleep when coming home from school. “A National Sleep Foundation poll reported that 28 percent of teenagers

All of the sweets and treats you remember from school lunches are now gone. The government now controls school lunches through The National School Lunch Act. This legislation provides school lunches, attributes to healthy lifestyles, puts strict boundaries on what is served, but ends up costing more money in the end. School lunches have been around for awhile now, but the government hasn't always controlled what kids consume at school. The government first started controlling the lunches in 1946

Music is an amazing thing. Many people can make music in many different ways and it is truly amazing. I think every school should have a music program because it helps so many students with many different issues. For example, it helps kids of all ages who are not athletic. Several students who attend high school do not do sports or any kind of athletic activities. All of these non-athletes turn to band and/or choir. Not only does it help them be involved in an extracurricular, it also helps

Starting school at a later time would improve the lives of teens not only their education but it would also help improve their health. The first reason to have later starting times is it would help students be more alert in class. I personally tend to be more attentive and alert towards the end half of first block so around 9 or 9:30. Teens who don’t get enough sleep are more likely to have lower performance in academics and athletics (Backgrounder). They are also likely to have impaired cognitive

IV. Staffing Staffing within schools is one of the most important aspects of an educational system. Without reliable, hardworking workers, the students’ education could be greatly affected. One of the biggest issues world-wide is that schools are teaching to the “typical” student. Therefore, students who are struggling or excelling compared to the “average” student are being left behind. Students who are struggling are not receiving the help they need; they are rather being failed, or ignored. On

Since the Columbine High School shooting in 1999, there have been roughly 208 school shootings on school grounds. This series of shootings, especially after the attack in Parkland Florida, has created an outcry for stricter gun laws, higher purchasing ages and more background checks to try and make schools safer. One of the ideas on the table to reach this is to arm teachers and staff with firearms to ‘stop the threat before it happens’. But, this has received nothing but opposition from a majority

Online school has some differences from a brick and mortar school, however, it also has a few similarities. Online students, like brick and mortar students, must go to classes, communicate with teachers, and turn things in before their due date. Similarly, both school systems have a full staff, reasonable breaks between classes, and textbooks. Schooling online provides students with school dances, field trips, and a student government, in the same way a brick and mortar school would. Online school
