The problem I have with balancing school, work, and family is being an excellent student, an outstanding employee, and a caring mother all at the same day. The trouble I have with being an excellent student while juggling a job and a family is finding the time to study. I cannot ignore my family. It is my responsibility, as a parent; to see to my family’s needs first, for this leads to homework and studies last some times. Staying awake after hours may contribute to arriving to class late.
Graduating high school students continuing their education are affected by this economic situation. Very few students know what type of job they want when they graduate high school. However, a college education will better them to figure out what they want to do for a living. Attending college is valuable for students and it provides the students the ability to learn, gain knowledge and experience from the material taught in the classes they attend. A college education improves the student’s vocabulary, reading comprehension, grammar and writing skills.
I am pursuing a degree at ITT Tech because my girlfriend asked me what I was going to school for and I told her, I wanted to go to school for computer science or electrical engineering. I love computers, phone’s, updated gaming consoles, and new modern technology because that’s what I world is turning into. I told her I was going back to college this summer attending Longview Community College. The whole main reason for me even going to school is to better myself and for my kids. They need me to set an example for when they get older and it’s difficult to take care of kids when you’re working dead end jobs, living check to check.
The new vocationalism scheme was introduced around 1979. The students would attend college for one or two days a week to study for vocational qualifications that were not available at school. Most schools used this to re-engage disaffected young people. Although schemes have helped working class students it has also helped middle class and so it has not helped reduce social inequality but instead give students more choice over there education. Vocational education has helped some students and provided people with more qualifications so they have a better chance of getting a job but they have not reduced social inequality.
Some people deserve a second chance, but it shouldn’t be given to someone that doesn’t show effort towards school. If someone is failing a class you can’t always blame the student. You have to put in perspective that the teacher could be bad at teaching,or perhaps the student missed a lot of class due to being sick,or maybe the class is just too hard. So however, handing out extra credit could be tolerable to the students that show effort, and not to the students who mess around in class. One reason a student should receive extra credit to pass, is that they have trouble with that one specific subject.
Learning Against Grades In this society, students are encouraged to pursue a higher education after graduating from high school. Yet, each individual has a different reason for desiring to move on to college. Students attend college either because they want to increase their knowledge, get a decent paying job after college, or they just want to get the “college” experience instead of going on to the working force after high school. As a first-year college student, I pictured college to be a “… place for learning and growth…” (Jerry Faber, 387), but I was slightly wrong. Everyday I stress over earning a good grade in my classes, instead of being driven to learn the material of the course.
Katie Gathman Professor Star College Comp 16 October 2013 Pro Co-Mingling Legislation Apart of the typical every day college experience would involve the opposite sex. Usually having mingled classes with both male and female is a good part of the college experience since it gives the opportunity to expand a persons social circle and gives the chance to intermingle with the opposite sex. Some students have come from all boy and all girl high schools, which they may not of experienced the opportunity to socialize and talk with the opposite sex. Saying all of this, I am against the Anti Co-Mingling Legislation because I believe that socialization with the opposite sex will help later in life, having the opposite sex in a classroom does
This information supports the fact that students have trouble waking up early and functioning properly at school. Lack of sleep also interferes with problem solving, teens cannot do math, or make right choices under these circumstances. For this reason, school’s should start later to yield the best working states of teenagers. Study by Dr. Kyla Wahlstrom shows that later start times not only benefits academics but also mental health. There was less, tardiness, depression, and teeneagers even began making better desicions.
The students are still being exposed to the working world at a very young age which can have its very own benefits. The teens learn responsibly the meaning of hard work, but there are demerits at the same time. Each year the acceptance process for college has been getting harder and harder, and when a teenager is forced to work through high school their grades are bound to suffer. Many of the teens working are coming from lower class families who are working to support themselves and save for college, this to mean that the fact that their grades are suffering from the work they are expected to do contradicts the whole reason of them working. It is actually hard for teens to balance their schoolwork social lives and a demanding job.
And by graduating they would probably be more ambitious about education and be more likely to pursue a college education. Developing more alternative schools would also be beneficial because everybody’s life circumstances are different. Many students need to work while going to school to support their families, some need to stay home and watch their younger siblings while their parent work very demanding hours, many teenage girls end up pregnant. Alternative schools can offer flexible hours and weekend schedules for students to participate in what’s called credit recovery; also there is more one on one interaction that is sometime not always accessible in large
