416 Words2 Pages

Journal

School Started this week. I have been asking myself if I made the right decision coming back to VC. My first quarter attending VC, I felt like I had stepped back into high school. I witnessed the disrespect the students showed toward some of the teachers. I could not believe my eyes or my ears when I witnessed some of the the students arguing and being disrespectful with teachers during class. Some of the students were having their own conversation while the teacher was up lecturing during class time. A lot of the students had their cell phone phones out on their desk texting away and not paying attention to anything the teacher said. I noticed that a lot of the students came to class and you never saw them taking

    Honestly, I feel that our class culture is being dominated by a few loud people, who do not seem to be interested in being present in class. No, I am not talking about my classmates who are always involved in the class discussions – that’s actually a good thing. I am talking about the people who are always having side conversations and the others who quite frankly are just being rude. I feel bad for the people who are actually trying to get an education, but are being rushed with both vocal and body language cues from certain people.

  • Personal Narrative: Back To School

    Have you ever realized that as you get older you slowly have less and less time to do anything fun or spontaneous? For me, I may not be considered old, but lately it seems to be getting harder to do anything such as hanging out with friends, hanging out with my girlfriend, and even just watching television. As I get older it is becoming increasingly difficult to stay young. All of my time has been taken with the pressures of school, so that I can build a career, and working 2 jobs. I’ve been working at McDonalds for about 3 years and The Home Depot for almost a year now.

  • Essay On Failing Education System

    1563 Words  | 7 Pages

    Our educational system is failing us. The United States of America is supposed to be the “greatest” country in the world but statistics are showing that our government/educational system is failing us; children/young adults of the nation. Being a student of a middle ranked school in Arizona, I personally have had a first-hand feel for how good and/or bad teaching affects students. Just in high school I have had teachers that would just assign websites as our lesson and even teachers that sit at their desk for the whole hour; don’t even go over the mindset, homework, and maybe only show one problem so that we’ll know what the homework will be like. Until sophomore year I didn’t even know the differences between you’re, your, too, and to.

Not everyone at Chase high school is mean, and majority I would say are kind hearted people.
