A way to decrease this tendency is through relating and creating lessons that interest students. Sadly, in schools, children with severe academic, behavioral, and social problems are disregarded, often seen as the problem child. These children are passed along each grade to teachers who do not address their problems. As a student in the special education program, I saw my, peers who endured constant failure begin to resent school. They viewed school as a waste and dropped out once they turned 16.

The Philadelphia Eagles just won Super Bowl 52. Many die-hard fans flock the streets of Philly and celebrate the city 's first ever Super Bowl win. Patriots fans in Philadelphia have to walk through the celebration being screamed at and being called out. An intoxicated man comes up to a Patriots fan and they get into a heated argument after the game and respected teams. The intoxicated Eagles fans attack the Patriots fan and a huge crowd surrounds them, all cheering for the Eagles fan.

I had detention all the time at the end of the year I had D’s and C’s in all of my core classes. Because of my poor grades my teachers decided to add more accommodations and wanted to be stricter on me the next

“Student athlete,” we all have heard the phrase and for some it might apply, but truly how hard is it to be a student athlete. For years students have complained about homework, due dates, and test because they all claim to not have the time and that is because they go to practice six out of the seven days of the week. According to the University of Penn State, and Travis Vogan, a professor at the University of Iowa, “Recognized that “an athlete’s education options are limited.” Due to daily practices, meetings, workouts, and

I have an older cousin who was finishing grade 8 and she was telling me how she was scared to go to high school. I told her to just relax and keep calm. She came back after her first day and told me it went

How many times has a student complained to you about stress? If you are one or a teacher at a highschool then you probably hear that every day multiple times a day. Are they just being dramatic, lazy, or just saying it to get a reaction? I think not, there are many studies being done about how highschool students are actually stressed and how it leads to other health problems and highschool student actually are pretty busy. Many parents, teachers, and other adults say that us student are being lazy, or dramatic that we really don’t have that much to do, they could be wrong in some cases, there’s alot more to us students than a teacher or parent can see.

Since GC is about to start finals, I wanted to focus on the topic of education in the United States. At this point, a lot of students are suffering from the stress involved with finals, and this stress really impacts each student in specific ways. Some people cry while studying, while others become angry trying to relearn all of the material from the semester. These intense feelings tend to make students hate the education involved with college, and they only stay at college for the hope of obtaining a better job in the future. This viewpoint on education can actually be witnessed in “Raisin in the Sun.”

In middle school I was not always the best student, I would always get myself into trouble or allow others to get me into trouble. I did not know how to control myself in a new environment because I was still used to elementary school expectations. I was sent to In School Suspension (ISS) many of days because I wouldn’t listen to the teacher, talk back, or not do my work. In middle school we had a discipline form where each time you get in trouble you receive a step, when you reach your 3rd step they will call home to your mom and when you reach your 5th step they decide on ISS or OSS. I would receive 2 steps a day because my behavior was so bad so I would be sent straight to ISS instead of being in the classroom with my classmates.

My grades began to dropping, all the hard work I had put in, over my high school career, for the sake of my GPA didn 't matter to me anymore. This mindset I had effected me in more ways than just my school work, it also took its toll on my spirit as a person over all.

While I do not consider it a failure now at the time I was definitely frustrated with myself and considered it a failure. When I had to repeat my junior year I was mad at myself for not be able to complete the school year. As time went on I was able to focus on the positives in the situation and I was able to finally accept that I was not prepared for my senior year both emotionally and academically considering I missed so much school. If I did continue on to senior year I would not have been close to prepared as I am now for college. I ended up repeating my junior year due to the fact that I missed close to two-thirds of school due to a medical condition.

In 2001, a thirteen-year-old orthodox Sikh named Gurbaj Singh, living in Quebec, accidentally dropped his kirpan (a metal sword) while playing outside in the schoolyard. A letter was then sent to his parents describing the conditions by which he could wear his symbolic kirpan, which represented spiritual wisdom. “To Sikhs the Kirpan is religiously symbolic of their spirituality and the constant struggle of good and morality over the forces of evil and injustice, both on an individual as well as social level.” So long as it was concealed inside his clothing he was free to bring it to school. His parents agreed to the conditions, as it was a vital cultural and religious right of passage for their son to wear his kirpan.

The Brown v. Board of Education was a monumental decision as it expressed that “separate but unequal” from Plessy v. Ferguson was inherently unequal, meaning it was unconstitutional. The decision overturned Plessy v. Ferguson as it stated that racial segregation of public education violated the Fourteenth Amendment. Oliver Brown was a parent of a child that was rejected from Topeka’s white schools and Brown took this injustice to court. With the leadership of Chief Justice Earl Warren, a unanimous decision was ruled to desegregate the public education system. The ruling led to mixed reactions in the nation, as the South was appalled by the decision and attempted to stop the decision from being carried out.

Since the beginning of time, African-Americans have been seen as inferior, incapable, and inhumane. After the Civil Rights Movement, the issue of racism was broadcasted internationally, and people globally saw how African-Americans were treated due to the color of their skin. Once the movement was over; African-Americans would have another issue to tackle; societal advancement. History books suggest that racism was finally over after the Civil Rights Movement, but racial bias is still embedded in white society. Racism may not be as harsh, or publically displayed, but African-Americans are not advancing at the same rates as whites.

From a deep sleep I awoke feeling inspired, anxious, and optimistic, I had an epiphany that I should run for Junior Class Treasurer. Consequently, I just returned home from our school’s annual elite leadership retreat my sophomore year. While at the retreat, it became apparent that I wanted to partake in additional leadership opportunities and explore my potential. After all, serving on student senate for two years convinced me to step up and encounter a new challenge.
