The students at that school had no home training; they cursed teachers out and fought them, and even though it was my first and second year of high school I’ve never seen that happen in my grammar school before. Another event that happened was one time a underclassman ditched school one morning and went to a corner store by our school and someone shot up the store, and ever since then before I graduated I was scared to walk to school. The school work was way easier than the first school I was in which lead me to get better grades that I was proud
Pet Peeve Speech In school the idea that we all learn differently and in our own ways is stressed to us from kindergarten right up to your senior year. I don't disagree with that at all, in fact I feel deeply that we all do in fact learn in ways unique to us. The teachers and staff here at Iron Mountain High School do a fantastic job of catering to the needs of individuals who have troubles grasping concepts or just can't seem to understand something the first time it's explained to them. Once again I'm fine with that, but not everyone needs that much help. Not everyone wants that much help!
Everyone has had a teacher that they loved when they were younger, they would wake up for school and be excited to go and learn. As a result of liking your teacher you also did better in that class. On the other hand everyone has had a teacher that they absolutely hated. It makes you wonder how did they ever got that job as being a teacher in the first place? Almost anyone could become a teacher.
He voices his opinion on how high school was, how high school is now, and how it could make or break your next four years from all the upsets, hardships and bullying. Fifty years ago, things were way different than how they are today. Kids had to go to school and were respectful to their peers or they would get in a huge amount of trouble, kids were expected to help their parents around the house or does some yard work outside. Nowadays kids do nothing and expect so much in return. If they do not get what they want when they want it, usually they will pitch a fit or they will not speak to their parents and the end result of that situation is the kid ends up getting it.
I knew that wouldn’t be the case anymore because I now lived in Dayton. The first school that I attended in Dayton Ohio was Trotwood-Maddison High School. It looked like a big college from the outside witch was intimidating to me. On my first day of school, I was very nervous, because I didn’t know anyone. Walking the halls, not knowing where to go was very frustrating.
No words could possibly describe the feelings that were going through me Freshmon Year. Leaving the Cleveland Heights/ University Heights School District for a year in Eighth Grade, I wasen't sure what to expect coming back. Apart of me was full of excitement, realizing I finally will be able to see my friends that I left behind. Knowing, I wouldn't be alone with the comment “ new kid in school”. However, fear was seeping through me as the hours of walking to the building came nearer.
Imagine attending a school full of many intelligent students who just don’t care. At the beginning of the year students start breaking small rules like texting in class and dress code. As the year progresses students start breaking bigger rules like fighting. Recently the students just broke an enormous rule; the food fight. I’ve noticed that Heath has a negative climate, and the 8th graders are going to change it.
This really bugged me because I never experienced anything like this, in elementary everyone wanted to be in band. Also, this was when kids started to date, so many kids including myself felt obligated to try and talk to girls. In the process cliques were being created, so this was when kids found their style. I could not stand any of my teachers in middle school. I felt like they all tried to intimidate us about junior high school.
Dear Indian boy, When I first read about you in “Indian Education” by Sherman Alexie I was very impressed. The problems you had are still evident, and people from all over the world have to struggle with them every day. I enjoyed following your life throughout your school experiences, while you were moving from grade to grade up until high school graduation. What made reading intriguing was the use of irony and humor. It indicates an excellence of form.
Maybe some of the times were my fault for falling behind due to procrastination but a lot of times I blew it off because I didn’t know how to begin or how to do it at all. When I finally had enough I started to stay after school to receive tutoring and to make up assignments and it made me wish I had done that a long time before. Being able to actually do the work that was given to me was having so much weight taken off my shoulders. When it was time to start deciding what I wanted to study in college, I drowned myself in stress all over again. I saw everyone else around me getting their acceptance letters and I knew that they were set.
