In example, if a student gets by in his English class not caring and not trying to learn, but his teacher likes the student so he passed him, when that student goes to college he will have trouble because he doesn’t know how to write a correct essay because he was given the grade. “Ten of thousands of 18 years-old will graduate this year and will be handed meaningless diplomas (Sherry 510). This shows most students have high school diplomas but
When you were a teenager, how often did you find yourself sleepy during school? How often did you fall asleep during class? Research probes that if schools had later start times kids would be more alert during the day, grades would improve, behavior would improve, and there will be less tardiness. Lets face it, most teenagers usually go to bed late, meaning they wake up late for school, and then result in tardiness. Constantly being for the same class, students begin to fail, and who wouldn't be upset from that?
It also sounds like they are running down the hall throughout the night and slamming the door leading to the stairs loudly. It is totally understandable that freshman are new to college and are excited to be on their own but they have to keep the noise to a minimum. The noise is very disturbing. When students have 8:00 a.m. classes every day. They are very tired and are preparing for class the next day and they should not have to deal with the noise all night and this causes them to

Journal Local 5/01/02 There are many things in that get me mad. Something’s get me more mad then others. I could honestly make a list of never stopping things that get me mad. Some examples are my brothers and sisters running around the house and making really annoying noise, When my phone freezes I also get really mad, When teachers tell me I didn’t do something I know I did and turned in also pisses me off. It is really annoying when I’m sitting there trying to do my homework and boom my brothers and sisters are chasing each other all around the house.
Back to High School Means Less Sleep for Students As bad as it is, the new school year is just starting up and students are already sleep deprived. The American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) has declared the frequent sleep-iness of our nation’s teenagers to be a chronic public health crisis of the nation. The series of cases involving busy students, forced to stay up late at night in order to finish their home-work, need to do so if they plan to be successful. These teens are involved in a variety of activities and have so much to do, from editing the school newspaper and playing second base on the softball team to working at the local deli to earn money to pay for a car, and don’t usually start working on their homework until late after when “normal” citizens retire to sleep. The AAP called on schools to start later so students could get additional sleep.
You try to make not a lot of noise somehow everyone still ends up staring as you walk out. The CAHSEE is worse because if you don't pass, you won't graduate. Congratulations LAUSD, you've managed to make our lives even more stressful than they already are. Some may see the CAHSEE as easy as ABCs but not everyone does. I think the CAHSEE is out of the question, there's already other tests in the end of year to make sure we're learning.

And, just as sleep deprivation affects an adults capacity to function properly and make sound decisions, lack of sleep causes adolescents to fall asleep in class, arrive late to school, and feel down and
I was that kid that was always chosen last, the one that was made fun of since he would run to the opposite side, not because I didn’t know how to play, but because my vision sucked. At the end of the day any “normal” kid would go home do his homework and play outside or video games. Me in the other hand, went home did my homework by force and went straight to my room without telling my mom what was going on and cried for hours. It was a feeling that made me lie in my bed and leave the pillows soaked in tears. Why I never told my mom, I still don’t know.
But no matter how well I performed at home with friends, during school recess the stigma of “short kid” stuck with me while choosing teams. Still concerned as senior year rolled along, I visited a growth specialist. Pacing the exam room in a shaky, elliptical orbit worried, “What if I’ve stopped growing? Will my social status forever be marked by my shortness?” In a grade school dream, I imagined Chris “ESPN” Berman’s voice as he analyzed the fantastic catch
