The “big brother” of JROTC offers college scholarships to those who qualify. Membership in JROTC is a perfect start for this. As a member of JROTC one can expect to gain a great deal of self confidence that will become a building block for future accomplishments throughout their life. The programming is geared to build a team of students that work together to overcome difficult challenges and by doing so build their individual confidence as well as team confidence to face any challenge. Camaraderie is further enhanced throughout the program as students wear uniforms at least once a week to display their unit pride.
Then the student decides to drop to a part-time worker, register for less class hours to find more time to work on improving their grades. But what they soon fail to realize, is that now they will have to hold off on graduation a little longer. Also there are other students who just can’t afford the expenses of college, so they may end up dropping out before they even reach the second semester. These are all real examples of what many college students go through, across the
DALLAS, Ga. — Class president accused of vandalism loses appeal A senior class president accused of vandalizing his school will not be allowed to return. The Paulding County School Board decided Tuesday night to deny Jacob Zimmerman’s suspension appeal. He will not be allowed to attend East Paulding High School and will finish his high school education at an alternative school. The 17-year-old had wanted to be able to attend the school for at least part of his day to attend several AP classes, but the school board ruled against him. “It just really hurts.
He told Miguel that he was very sorry for his injury and talked to him about the game. He told him that he was very impressed with his play and said that he’d be a great addition to the Fighting Irish baseball squad. The scout soon left the room and left Miguel alone with his family. It was bitter sweet that he found out that he would be playing at his dream school next, yet his high school baseball career was now over and his team would most likely lost their next game without him. Miguel was proud of himself at the end of the day.
I attended a school board meeting for the KISD (Killeen Independent School District) in Killeen, Texas. It was held in the board room in Killeen, Texas, and the meeting was held on June 17, 2014. The meeting was about an hour long, from 4:30-5:30. The school board president is Terry Delano, and there are seven board members on the board of trustees. There were about 15 people in attendance, and the majority of the attendees were middle-aged parents.
First of all, many students have after school jobs that they have to maintain. Some families rely on their kids to provide either for themselves or for their families. An extra two hours of school might not allow kids the ability to juggle school and work at the same time. Also if the school day is two hours longer, students that work will not have enough time to maintain a social life or even be able to keep their jobs. Extending the school day may do more harm than good.
I know that with my high school requiring school uniforms I was able to wake up an hour later for school. Which was so much better for me since I stayed awake doing extra projects. With everyone wearing close to the same things, it is harder to guess socioeconomic background and discriminate because of it. Uniforms in schools have helped more children want to come to school since they know that they will not be picked on. One of my mentees told me that he would skip school because the other students would pick on him.
Every couple of months when tuning into the news, it’s often heard of debates about public schools bringing in school uniforms. It’s often thought that the uniforms will solve multiple problems such as violence, behavior, and safety of the attending students. It is also said that it will help parents with expenses because they won’t have to keep up with the demands of expensive clothing from teenagers today. If your opinion made a difference in the decision of wearing school uniforms at your school, would you choose to wear them or be against the idea? Do you believe school uniforms make a difference in the lives of students attending schools?
Also in most cases the students forget to turn off the volume to their cell phones which will then interrupt the class or test. The kids see it as fun chatting with their friends while they are in another class, but they don’t see all the important notes being missed. If the teacher is assigning homework or informing the class about an upcoming test the student will not hear, which will then lead to failure! Year after year more and more students get cell phones convincing their parents that it will come in handy in case of an emergency. But if anything urgent were to happen at school the student can go to the office and make a phone call there.
According to some parents, their children waste as much as an hour in front of the mirror getting ready for school. Sometimes, it is main reason why their children are late to school. In addition, it can cause conflict between parents and their children. Uniforms, thus, save students time in the morning by eliminating the time they use to choose what they should wear. They help students focus on what is more important than fashion and beauty trends.
