    I wasn’t the type of person to spend my time at a library checking out many new cool books that I’d like to read during the summer, nor was I given a summer class to learn about the new courses that I’d be taking for my next grade level.

From then on, I got better at reading fluently, writing clearly and descriptively in many ways, and getting the opportunity the regain my knowledge from what I’m learning in

    But that confidence soon began to subside. In elementary school, we would have an annual test that determined whether a student can be placed in an advance or tutorial reading class, and every year I would be placed into the advance reading courses, so when it came time to take the test, I knew there wasn’t anything for me to worry about. And even though my score was one of the highest in the class, I still ended up in a reading tutorial class. I was a little taken aback by it, but it didn’t stop me from my love of reading and writing and plus I could switch out of those classes is I showed improvement. So I did my best to try and show that I didn’t need the extra help like some others did, but all my hard work went in vain

    A school named New Dorp High School had many kids that were low-performing students. They didn’t know how to write very well so, they had all of the teachers make writing a priority in their classes, even in physical education you had to write. The administrators really believed that this method would work and help the students tremendously. Luckily for them, it did, “the school’s success suggests that perhaps certain instructional fundamentals that schools have devalued or forgotten need to be rediscovered, updated, and reintroduced. And if that can be done correctly, traditional instruction delivered by the teachers already in classrooms may turn out to be the most powerful lever we have for improving school performance after all” (Tyre).

  • Personal Narrative: Changing My School

    454 Words  | 2 Pages

    iF I had the authority to change my school in a positive way,I would change the time that school starts, the lunch,the online work, how small the lunchroom and gym is. The reason why I would change the time that school starts is because waking up everyday at 6 in the a.m is a lot. Waking up at 6 in the a.m is so stressful when u didn't get enough rest the night before.so I would change the time to 10 in the morning that will give everyone enough time to get rest and people wouldn't be so sleepy at school. You wouldn't see any students sleeping in class like some do now.in my opinion I don't like waking up at 6 in the morning I still be tired and I love to get some rest before school. The second thing I would change about my school in a positive way is, the stuff we get fed in the lunch room.
