If you would rather work in the morning and take classes in the evening, it is possible. The last difference are the attendance polices. In High School the teachers are always on you about attendance; that is, if you miss to many days, you can fail, so if you are not in class, they want to know why; in addition, they probably call your parents and let them know that you were not in class. On the contrary, in College the teachers do not care whether or not you are in class; it means that if you are not there, you are going to get a failing grade, so you have to be responsible to succeed. It is up to you.
Saving Francesca Response Saving Francesca is a novel about love, family, friends, and finding identity. It is a story about change and how when you know yourself act on your beliefs and simply don’t give in to peer pressure. That is when life starts to make sense Francesca Spinelli attends St. Sebastian's which has been a boys-only school but now pretends to be coed by adding a girl's bathroom and thirty girl students - as opposed to about seven hundred and fifty boys. The girls in this school are none of Francesca's friends from her previous school; only super-opinionated Tara Finke, slutty Siobhan Sullivan, and geeky Justine Kalinsky from St. Stella's went to St. Sebastian's. Francesca would much rather be with all of her friends at Pius, but when she sees them now, they don't even seem to miss her.
Patricia Sullins 2/18/13 Comp I Only For the Grade In this excerpt of Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance the author Robert M Pirsig presents a story of a professor, Phaedrus, who wanted to experiment with the removal of grades in his classroom. The main point of this excerpt is to expose many students go to school for the grade and not the knowledge itself. With this being said I agree with Phaedrus’s point of many, but not all students going to school just for the grade, even many students need to be pushed to do any class work and the biggest argument he exposes is grades are a cover up for bad teaching. The excerpt Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance by Pirsig is about a college professor named Phaedrus who is trying to present an idea of a gradeless college to his class and has a hypothetical student to defend his idea. His hypothetical student flunks himself out of this college and in the end he comes back to it with the need for knowledge, not a grade.
Emma Willard opened a seminary for girls, in Troy, New York, in 1821. Her teaching methods were similar to ones used in the boys' schools, which horrified the parents. Yet clearly parents' disapproval did not stop the girls from wanting an education since from 1821-1872, 12,000 girls attended Willard’s school (Women in America). Once given the chance of an education, many of her students even went on to start their own schools. Yet after that, their was right to a higher education, such as a college.
I understand his idea, but the fact is that uniforms did not help the students. One of the critical reasons parents believe that students to wear school uniforms is that uniforms provide safety for students. What they mean is that it will eliminate bullying and violence in schools since students will not judge each other on what they wear. Parents also mention that since all the students wear the same uniform, it is easier to identify people that are not from the school, creating a better safety for the students. Another important reason parents explain is that in a uniform-worn high school, students seem to act more discipline.
Students want to be wearing the most expensive jeans, shoes, and shirts. At my high school, students were always dressed their best, only to be at school for a mere six hours. This fact is baffling because students go to school simply to learn. Students should not be worried about what they look like, and especially should not be concerned with how their peers look. More public schools should begin to enforce uniform policies to solve this problem.
They want a change in the education system so that children can prosper and be able to boost our declining economy. Children have always dreaded going to school because of boring classes and monotone teachers, but children are not only noticing this but so are influential adults. Robinson describes the school system as a factory forming students into what we want and banishing out the ones that do not reform into the model student. Moore agrees that the school system is suppressive when he says, “As soon as I entered high school-the public school system…I was walking the halls of a two-thousand-plus –inmate holding pen” (134). Moore felt trapped and earlier revealed that he dropped out of school sophomore year because he disliked school from first grade.
Early in the essay the writer explains how she could not be involved socially at school because of her chores. Once she was finally allowed to join the basketball team, she learned time management skills because she was still responsible for doing her chores. She was rewarded for her hard work, but also given a chance to prove she is capable of more. She found it difficult but not impossible to do what she enjoys and complete her chores. The author writes about her times in high school as she became even more involved and was eventually elected class president.
