Compton says the film is a surprise hit among high school teachers, who see in it a clear message for students: Work harder. After Sue Reynolds saw it in November, she ordered 210 copies. "The film's very compelling because you've got the data, you've got experts that are very compelling, and you also see with your own eyes what's happening in classrooms and homes in other countries," says Reynolds, executive director of the American Student Achievement Institute, a non-profit based in Columbus,
It gives us a chance to express what we might like to do or something we enjoy. But Gatto has the nerve to imply that public schools diminish creativity. I remember in 4th grade my English teacher gave us a paper on what we would like our future home to look like. She said, "be creative" while going about your paper. Now a freshman in college, teachers still praise me to use in (as well as students in my classes) in school projects, essays, and artwork to be as creative as possible.
During the end of the first day of sophomore year I remember walking into the room "eight-zero-one" at my high school and thinking "why would the counselors give me a chorus class?" I didn't think of myself as a singer. I mean, playing piano for twelve year has been a great experience and I have always strived to achieve excellence in all classes, activities and groups to which I belong; but singing? I can only remember singing in the shower and occasionally to my dogs. As I took a seat, the chorus direction, Ms. Morrow, introduced herself and began to teach us how to read music.
CWPA, NCTE, and NWP claim in “Framework for Success in Postsecondary Writing,” that “Habits of mind refers to ways of approaching learning that are both intellectual and practical and that will support students’ success in a variety of fields and disciplines” (122). At the Recreation Center, responsibility and persistence are habits of the mind that most students apply. Persistence, which the authors describes, is the “ability to sustain interest in and attention to short and long-term projects,” that pushes these students to come back throughout their education, regardless of how high their workload has piled up (122). When approaching college, students find it much more difficult to schedule exercising while balancing out their college life. There are exams to study for, deadlines to meet, and expectations to live up to.
It has been a huge struggle for me this term and I am hoping I pass the class as well as my psychology class. I have learned a great deal about effective writing. Although, I do wish I could catch onto APA formatting a lot better. I have tried youtube videos and looking at other pages about it and I am having a difficult time catching on. I did enjoy everything I learned on peer reviews and how effective those can be.

Academic Success Academic Success To be successful as a student, you will need to set academic goals, know and understand your learning style, and have academic integrity. Setting goals is easier said than done for a lot of people. Many times, we envision what we would like to happen in the future, but forget about applying steps to our everyday life to achieve them. Other times, you may start off strong but get distracted along the way and lose focus of the end goal. .
My Academic Philosophy I feel that education is in place to help students to fully achieve their goals in life. Students of today are our tomorrow. High school is here to help us set our GPA so that we can apply to a great college. When I entered ninth grade, I thought I knew what I was capable of, but I was wrong. As time went on I realized that I needed so much more.

So, In a way yeah I got what I wanted. I found my first high school love, I was hanging out every weekend. The first time in my life I thought I had the high school life that was right. However, at what cost was this new since of popularity?
