When going back to their is always that thought "how am I going to pay for school?" Money is always the issue for people when deciding to go back to school. It was my biggest issue for the longest time. I did not qualify for financial aid because I was still a dependent student. This meaning my parents income affected how I would pay for school.
These families do not work a typical 9-5, this does not mean that they are not involved with their children’s school. They do what they can, when they can. Or they may only have one vehicle between two parents, and job schedules conflict. Just because they aren’t at every event, don’t rule them out based on negative assumptions. These assumptions lead to lower academic expectations of these students and an overlook of what these families bring to the classroom and the
Who gained from this was our K-12 reform programs (Department. of Education, 2012). If this was so, then why are most of our programs being shut down? It seems like we do not get the full story of what is going on with the program budget and were is all of the money going. They are always raising college tuition to help pay for different programs but, it seems that they are not focusing on the programs for the diverse students that are here in the United States.
I do not agree with adding more hours to school because it’s too tiring for the kids, it takes away time from family and nobody is sure if this will result in better grades. One of the reasons I do not agree is because it’s too tiring for us kids. Another reason why I don’t agree is because it takes away time from family. Therefore, nobody is still sure if this will result in better grades. These are the reasons why I do not agree with adding more hours in school.
I felt school was not for me because I have dyslexic and, I feel people just don’t want to help me. I had to get off the self-pity and do something about my life. Returning to school should not mean you should give up your life it means you are giving your life a new outlook. Improving the things in life to make your future more brighter is priceless. I always wonder why I seem to leak learning things.
I would pay a copious amount of money to go back to days where I didn't have to worry about making money, getting good grades and figure out complex mental and social problems. Unfortunately, nobody has figured out how to make a time machine, so I'm stuck with what I have now. This makes me realize that I haven't even reached the hard part yet. When I'm an adult, I am going to have a whole new set of worries. Debt, a job, and taxes to figure out, for example.
Obama has made promises of making college more affordable, but has taken no real action in doing so. The citizens that fall under the low-income category are either not admitted into certain institutions because of their status or because they are not able to afford their education, therefore not being able to take advantage of this education. Institutions are also not able to provide students the best experience due to the several students in each class and providing faculty with a salary they deserve in order to provide their students with the best and most affordable experience
Now that I am doing a vocational course, I feel as if school didn’t prepare me for this new journey, I didn’t have the skills to do thorough research which is needed in BTEC Health and Social care, everything is coursework based as opposed to the previously examination based courses I was studying; this suddenly made me feel as though I wasn’t taking in information very well. I was stuck in revision mode and having to remember things to implement them in exams, only this time there were no exams so I quickly adopted a lazy attitude in the first year of this course and reduced my work quality by thinking that I had to read the text books and write them up as scripts in my own words which was far from correct. This also caused my attendance to drop because I thought everything was so ‘easy’ which had its own consequences; I missed a lot of valuable information given in classes that would mean I would actually learn new things. I started panicking and started to attend again; being patient with myself so as to learn new skills and it did pay off in the end because I actually started to understand how to execute my assignments properly. This was purely because of my own commitment and drives to stick to something and learn contrary to implementing my previous experiences of
Education: The process in which an individual gains pointless knowledge for the opportunity to get wealthy. America's education system is awful at properly educating their students. The type of education that is taught in high school is only to prepare you for what you're actually going to learn in college. A lot of the courses being offered at high schools are impractical in our daily lives, such as trigonometry, Hawaiian history and British literature. These courses are useless unless you're going to major in one of those subjects, but most of us aren't.
This type of encouragement has become a tradition that started over forty years ago. In 1972, Robert Worthington explained in his paper The Need for Career Education how the school system back then left students with little preparation for college and no preparation for work, making it very difficult for them to find an occupation (4). Certainly the school system of today is very improved over the one in 1972 but, the different technical and vocational programs of today are not available in all schools neither to all students. This leaves the majority of students with no opportunity to get trained for a career early in school. So students set out on the college careers paths in hopes to reach their goals.
