Enjoy high school! Most of you will see it as a stepping stone to a brighter, shinier future ahead. But this school that you are at four years is what you’ll think about when you’re older. You will wish for these days back. College is important; school work is important, grades matter. But don’t forget […]

I don’t hate school because I’m “a teenager”. I hate school because everyday I have to go through seven hours of schooling where the teachers only make you feel worthless? And who wants to be bullied and harassed by the people you have to spend your teenage years with, especially when the school system does […]

Teachers should not be allowed to let their students fail. If students get F’s on tests, they obviously do not know the material that a teacher has “taught” them. If students do not know the material a teacher just “taught”, a teacher’s job is incomplete. Teaching is pointless if the students aren’t learning. What is […]

In some people’s opinion, St. X is a better high school than Trinity, but you may ask, why? Why is Saint Xavier a better high school than Trinity? Some people prefer Trinity, because of the housing system, maybe because of the block scheduling, or because nearly 99% of the students that go to Trinity go […]

Why is it that when senior year rolls around that everyone in my grade decides to blow it off? I mean, I get it in a way where it is our last year of high school and that you want it to be summer where all you do is sleep in , do nothing, talk […]

So it’s like this. I’ve thought about how everyone is trying so hard to achieve their goals in education but not all of them do it the right way. We mostly try to take the hard path instead of the easiest but there are ways to make studying very easy. For example:A student wants to […]

Every time I come home from there is one thing I dread every day.. Homework. A specially when every teacher gives homework. I don’t Like Homework. i have to work about like 3 hours maybe even more than that… that’s why I don’t like homework. Why Do Kids Hate Homework? We Got a Ton Of […]

Dear Teachers, Ever so often you see them with arms folded on their desks, head down, tired eyed, or yawning: students who have not had eight hours of sleep. You may shrug it off or ignore it, but you know that method will just add to the list of reasons why they’re failing the class, […]

The whole point of school is learning, right? We stay up late to make sure our homework is done or to put finishing touches on various projects we may have, but students also have to remember to take care of our social needs so we don’t always get to bed at reasonable hours of the […]

School has become as simple as walking a dog. Ever since the Common Core standards have been placed in schools across the country, school curriculums have become way too simplistic. Students have not been becoming smarter because of these new standards, but instead are becoming much less intelligent. When the time comes for these students […]

Someone once said “Never bend your head. Alwayshold it high. Look the world straight in the eye. You never know what you can do when you are young or old. One obstacle that i have overcome was getting a job at a young age. Everyone no matter how old or young has to overcome something […]

About 90% of teenagers in high school either have had a breakdown or will have a breakdown over stress. The amount of stress and pressure placed upon high school students now a day is down right ludicrous. Students have more than just homework to worry about. An average student has to find a way to […]

An old saying goes that knowledge is power, and It is very true. This is because gaining new knowledge allows one to do many things, because you now know many things. Because when you don’t know something it limits you, you can learn it though, which in turn allows you to effect the world more […]

In my opinion, people who want a better financial situation and a vocation, should join the U. S. army immediately after graduating high school. The army life gives you many benefits for your present and future such as responsibility, working in a group, money, safety, education, and overall mental strength. These types of benefits are […]

We run from our past, hide it, try to change it. There’s nothing we can do about it. Some embrace it. Me? I hide from it. Hide from the sorrows, the happiness, the thrills, the terror, and the fear. Fear of being called into that room again. Fear of being taunted. The joy of my […]

“The common question that gets asked in business is, ‘why?’ That’s a good question, but an equally valid question is, ‘why not?’” – Jeff Bezos, CEO of Amazon. Why not have unlimited potential and freedom while doing something you love? Why settle for anything less than your dreams? Well one of my personal dreams is […]

IS a college degree the way to go in this generation? Is the debt and hardships that are experienced by college graduates even worth it? This is something I ask myself everyday as I check my bank account and see that sometimes I don’t even have $5 to my name, or enough spare change to […]

Imagine, going to a new school and being expected to know what you want to be when you get older. You’re only in 10th grade with little knowledge of what you want to do. Being accepted made me feel accomplished and determined. I was capable of having decent grades and a positive attitude. When I […]

“Go clean your room. ” Do you enjoy being told what to do? I can’t remember the last time I was motivated or excited that someone was telling me what to do. So if people don’t want to be told to clean their room, why would they want to be told they have to write […]

Do you think that the schooling is the only route leading to success? I will tell you, NO! How ignorant if you think “YES”! Being educated in school is great, but it’s definitely not the only choice. It’s ridiculous that when I researched about the kids who don’t want to be in school, all the […]

I heard on a local government broadcast a quote, “… kids seem to stop being interested in school at about sixth grade…” That being all that I heard before the channel flipped and the program was gone. I being in eleventh grade took this question to heart, why is it that I don’t find school […]

One thing that struck me about the role of women in islam is how they are obligated to wear a hijab. A hijab is a piece of cloth used to cover a woman’s head. This head piece is a way for men to control women. It can also be seen as a way of submitting […]

Teachers seem to think that if they keep on telling students that they are wonderful over and over again, that their students “will perform to the highest possible standards in school.” (Curtler) This idea is known as the self-esteem movement amongst educators, and the roots of this movement are traced back to 1960’s America. Educators […]

“In kids, the prefrontal cortex is still developing,” said Jordan Grafman, chief of the cognitive neuroscience section at the National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke, part of the National Institutes of Health.
