Society has never been a perfect word; especially in modern day. More focused on the human beings themselves, meaning each person, there is a strong pressure.

I don’t know about you guys, but I don’t exactly have the best work ethic. Scratch that. I don’t know about you guys, but I don’t exactly have a work ethic. When it comes to tests and quizzes, I don’t know, I just kind of go with the flow. I don’t cram, I don’t organize, […]

I think that cell phones should be allowed in school with limitations. Students that have cell phones at school should be responsible enough to keep their phone in their pockets or in their back packs and only use them between class and at lunch time. Parents need to be responsible as well to find out […]

I have recently read a small passage on the subject of normality. Here is my opinion. Who is to say that something is normal? What makes someone normal when there is no such thing as normal? Normality is a delusion created by us. No one is normal. Because no one can decide what is normal. […]

Parents, school faculty members, and teachers do not condone praising students for unsatisfactory work because they believe that it will lead them to believe that they do not need to put their best effort into their work. However, self-esteem often stems from encouragement. If a student is commended for his/her best or worst schoolwork, then […]

The lugubrious lethargic sloth gluttonously engulfed my body with savory slurps. I then had a quotidian life of a man replaced by a phlegmatic arboreal mammal. My past life as an urbane aesthete was demolished. The sloth could not be exculpated! Our bodies were not concordant! My enmity for it brewed in his stomach; so […]

Imagine you live in a country where 500 out of every hundred thousand people are prisoners. A country that spends more money on its inmates than its students.

I believe that sex education should be offered to children at the right age of about 15-16 due to the fact that most students are not serious about this and start laughing when they’re taught. I really hate it when my classmates laugh and crack jokes on such a serious issue- truly immature of them! […]

Every year 1.2 million students drop out according to http://www.thehilltoponline.com/obama-aims-to-lower-u-s-school-dropout-rates-1. 2175867. People take the opportunity to learn for granted.

Yes, in my opinion it’s true, as explained in this excerpt, education has our minds stunted. It doesn’t make much sense that something meant to open our minds to the possibilities of the world around us has such a negative effect on the youth of this generation. Why then, is it the truth? Well, simple. […]

“A teacher that genuinely cares about their students and wants to help them succeed is what makes a great teacher,” Nicole Fortune, a senior at Arrowhead High School, says.

Everyone wants to be healthy. However, being healthy does not always come easy. Unhealthy foods are common, convenient, and inexpensive (Mooney). With alarming rates of obesity of above 35 percent of the population in America, unhealthy foods should be a major concern (Overweight). So why are they encouraged and served as an open option of […]

I feel that school uniforms gives us the sense of responsibility and pride for studying at such a great school- It seems like someone is screaming in our ears saying only that we’re all part of this school and we all deserve the best of education. It also gives students the sense of equality so […]

This is something that goes back to a personal conversation that I had with a custodian at my high school. This topic was brought up through our conversation about how some students had broken the faucets in the bathroom and flooded it.

One of our greatest leaders, John Fitzgerald Kennedy, said “Our progress as a nation can be no swifter than our progress in education. The human mind is our fundamental resource.” If our nation depends on a strong education base to push forward into the future, then why are some students being deprived of this right? […]

In reality, I guess I wish I knew what I am looking for, like everybody else. It’s not that I don’t have talents, or wants or needs but how do I get there? Kind of seems ridiculous that I know what’s ahead of me but am still unsure as to why I feel like am […]

Many people consider themselves a success in school and/or education in today’s time. But what does it actually mean to be successful in education?

In life, almost everything including us fades over time. You buy shoes, clothes, jewelries and before you know it, even you will fade, but one thing that will never fade is learning. No matter how old one gets, the seek for knowledge never ends. Instead, there is beyond knowledge one can get. One way to […]

Every day, we interact with hundreds of people from the people we pass in the hallway, to our friends, teammates, coaches, parents and family. But there is really no comparison to the interaction and relationship students experience with their teachers. A teacher teaches, but in reality there’s a lot more to it than just that. […]
