If I could go back I would tell myself to do things differently this time, to actually take the time to learn, even if everyone thinks its too late. I would tell myself to try to fill in the gaps before I advanced into higher math. If you don’t understand all the basics then you will never be able to understand any of the more complex material. And trust me, even if you don’t think you’ll need it you actually do. You will have to take more math classes, you’ll have to figure out your taxes, and your mortgages rates, and your credit card payments and many more things that demand math.
Why High Schools Graduates are Unable to Read There are several reasons why some high school graduates are unable to read. One reason is the students themselves do not have support from family members to realize how important reading and writing can help them thrive in life. The students also play sports too much to focus on any type of education. They don’t make time to for school work and so they struggle when it is time to take tests of learn to read. If the student has learning disabilities, they will not tell anybody because they are too embarrassed to mention them and they struggle throughout school; they don’t ask for help.
Studies have shown that homework for elementary – high school should not have homework but work on some special project or reading at home after school for only a satin amount of time depending on what grade the student is in like forty minutes to two hours a day after school. Studies also show that homework can be more harmful then help full to students as they grow up. Studies show that students going to school all morning and afternoon doing work then coming home to do even more work will make them very over worked and make them lazy and they would not wont
You could also have time to finish your homework if you couldn’t the night before. This year on Wednesday, October 12 we took our PSAT’s and the seniors didn’t have to be at school until 11:30 in the morning because they didn’t have to take them. Instead they had to take the SAT’s but I don’t know the exact dates they would take them. I expected not to see any seniors in my classes that I have seniors in. But I was shocked to see all of them actually show up.
As well as time in between classes, students don't get a chance to have a snack, because we go to one class to another. So having snacks in class is good because not everyone can wait till lunch. On the other hand, snacks in class can be distracting and it can wait till lunch. If they have snacks during class they might concentrate on the food more the the work. Also students tend to leave messes behind after they eat in class, so teachers won't allow it.
Middle school has prepared me for high school and beyond in many ways. The teachers don’t take excuses as much as in elementary school or 6th and 7th grade. They will give you a zero if you don’t turn in your homework, which helps you in the future because no one is going to sit around and cater to you and allow you to take everything as a joke. School shouldn’t be any different. They also show you how you might use different things in the future.
The concept of spurious relationships is especially interesting to me in that I am faced on a daily basis with cause and effect items such as: a student did not complete his admissions application to college and therefore he cannot attend courses in a program of study he is seeking. This example can be thought of as having a true causal relationship. There are still others where the student says we are responsible for him not graduating in time to apply for another college. It is our fault for not informing them on time of steps they needed to take. What the student fails to see is that he needs to check his school e-mail in order to read and take the next steps in order to fulfill graduation requirements.
Would you rather have a time to do work because you have practice after school or have PE class? Well today there are many students’ grades suffering because they have no time after school to do their homework, which is a good reason for those students to replace their PE class with a study hall to do their homework. So student athletes should not have to do PE because they need time to do their homework, they can get injured in PE class and not be able to play and you already get enough exercise from sports. First of all, student athletes need extra time to do their homework because of having to leave early for games, getting home late from games and having at least two or more hours of homework. So giving them extra time to do their homework in school would increase the advantages of having their homework done.
I would go try to take the test and never finish because I felt I couldn’t do it. Until December 2011 I keep telling myself that if I didn’t go get it my kids would never have anything and I would be forced to live off the state or my mom. So December came along and I forced myself to go take that test. I was surprised to say I passed everything except my essay part. It took me two weeks to study for the next essay test and I passed with flying colors.
When I eventually transferred to public schools, the issues that everyone overlooked because they were not an obvious problem for me really came back to haunt me when I was assigned any sort of extensive writing assignment. I continued to take reading classes in public school. Fortunately, I managed to get through my English classes and graduate high school never expecting to have to write any sort of paper again. While I thought that to be true for the first two years out of high school, that proved to be a poor mindset to have. June
