Sam “Marshall” Davis What’s the problem with high school students these days? The problem is students today are losing interest to stay in school as study shows 35% kids drop out each day. The problem is happening right now in front of our doors! This problem is very serious, especially for young black males because the majority of them were born and lived in the projects, which was full of negative influence. The problem is still happening because every kid wants to be cool or to fit in, and the only way to do it, is to do drugs or commit crimes with their friends.
One day his teacher gives him a letter and tells him not to read it until he got home, John was worried because his teacher never told him to read a letter at home before because he does not like John because most of the fights that John gets in are in school. He went home and went straight up to his room, he opened the letter and it said that John has been expelled from his school and that he gets to finish out the week; he went downstairs to tell his mom but when he was downstairs he saw his father lying on the couch and vomiting profusely, right next to him was his
Since he was born, they had decided he wasn’t going to stay at home, that he would just be at home. Even while he was living with his grandparents. When he had went St. Anthony’s he wasn’t old enough for him to go to school so he had stayed there with the other kids while his brother Meiyo had went. When he was living at the detention center they had registered him into high school but he didn’t know how to read or write. He was ashamed, embarrassed, and didn’t tell anyone and just failed all his classes.
Brian Johnson, is as normal as every students are, is dropped off by his mother and his little sister. They pressure him that he has to take his detention time to study and doing homework, yet he argues that student cannot do their homework during detention session. These students come to their school by different ways, and each way shows what kind of stereotype they begin. From what Brian’s mom did to him in the car, viewers can easily recognize that he is some kind of nerdy. Brian is forced to take advantage of his studying whenever he is able to do it.
vividly remember the time I first heard the poem “The Dash.” I was still a boy, 8th grade, and I was in an elementary school gym having basketball practice with my traveling team. Practice was almost over so, as you can imagine, my teammates and I were a little anxious to leave. We lost focus. My Coach, Dave Thomas, huddled us up at center court, and told us to take a seat. Being 8th graders, we moaned and complained under our breath about having to stay an extra couple minutes.
Part 1 At one point in high school my grades were below par which didn’t really make my parents happy. They decided to enroll me into a tuition center where may other kids take tuitions during the school holiday. One week in, I didn’t have a single friend, probably because I’ve always been a really shy person. I sat outside reading before my morning class. I looked up and noticed this girl was moving towards me, she engaged into conversation with me and then told me she thought I was real good looking and that definitely was an ego booster, she then suddenly left and I never saw her again because that was my last summer school class.
2). Instead of searching for a better educational environment, students look for better tests numbers. Lang Wood goes on by stating “Students can easily become discouraged and negative about education in general, which affects their learning ability” (par. 2). In addition to what Lang Wood believes, Stephens claims, students who are taking the test suffer from stress in result of worrying about passing it.
I had this experience when I was in high school. I studied high school in Kansas for one and half years, and it was a small town where not many international students were in there. Some white Americans never talked to the international students, sometimes they ignored international students, and they always treated international students badly. For example, in the PE class, teacher would tell us to play ball. You can see one side is Americans the other side is international students.
Rite of Passage BSHS 342 September 19, 2011 Babara Kennedy Rite of Passage A high school boy, 16 years old passed his math exam. Math was not Robert’s favorite subject so he had to study really hard for it. His parents said how well he was studying and promised to teach him how to drive if he gets a B and would give him a car if he gets an A in his finals and if he passes the driving test. Robert literally spent time in the library daily receiving extra tutoring from a friend John, he meets at the library. Robert forgot about his x-box and had less time for his friends Mike and Sean, who didn't think he needed to study as hard as he was doing.
Between all the physical and mental abuse from both parents and the poor school results, NAME managed to push through and successfully complete year 10. Year 11 brought an increase in school work and class work, as well as a zero tolerance for not handing in class and homework. A few months in, NAME gave up and stopped attempting, he stopped going to class and spent days isolated in his bedroom. NAME’s family made an attempt to enrol him in a media course at TAFE but he later dropped out of that as well, and begun to enter a deep depression from all the abuse and issues that he was
