Many Americans assume that school teachers are to blame for their children’s poor education. Most parents fail to realize that in order to have teachers who are willing to put time and effort into their jobs, they will need to be compensated. Especially in today’s world, where the cost of living is higher than ever. […]

Why is it we need homework we already do five hours of work each day in school! homework is just working on more and more paper and just keeps takeing away from our precious lives and giving us more and more stress. i understand if you are getting something that you missed in late i […]

Students should not be separated by their abilities and performance because this allows us to be open to new and different ideas. By doing this we have the opportunity to learn from each other.

Imagine being sixteen years old. You drag yourself out of bed at 6 A. M. in order to arrive at school on time. Once at school, you are required to remain in the building for all eight hours unless you have permission to do otherwise, as well as be in your assigned room at specified […]

Imagine the world where no students take art as a course and have any of you thought about how important art is part of our life?

To the Administration and School Board,Sirs and Madams, permit me to ask you a question: of these two groups, to which would you provide greater funding?”Group A” encompasses eleven programs and includes 380 students for an entire year.

All over the world, in high schools just like mine, yours, those of your sons and daughters—there are teen-aged students who live double lives. Students are the CSIS, the CIA of tomorrow. With all of the pressure to fit in to the meticulously-monitored normality of high school, it’s no wonder young adults feel they need […]

School districts across the country have been changing dress policies to include dress codes or uniforms in public schools. It is the belief that uniformity in attire will cause students to feel more secure about themselves in the environment thus increasing the capacity and effectiveness of learning. However, do those two concepts really have anything […]

People always say that kids need less homework. I have been in three different schools. They have given more homework as we get older, but here is what’s real. Any sports or extracurricular activity is not necessary. You don’t have to do it. People get into college because of sports scholarships. We need people to […]

Materialism in school could quite possibly be the number one cause for teen suicide in America. Think about it. Why are thousands of people, some as young as seven, bullied in school? Easy; materialism. Materialism is, according to the Merriam- Webster dictionary, a theory that physical matter is the only or fundamental reality and that […]

State testing is now being changed to “the new and improved” Partnership for Assessment of Readiness for College and Careers, PARCC, or is it? Much controversy has rose over this new testing method and the signs are showing it might not stick around long. With 23 states agreeing to take the test in 2010 the […]

These days, authorities are so focused on how students dress, and the effect it has on their academics, that they create these difficult dress codes. However instead of having the burden of managing these dress codes, why don’t they just make school uniforms mandatory? School uniforms should be required because they help students focus more […]

Everyone goes to school, and we complain about going to school. “When is it going to be Friday?” Uncomfortable desks, waiting for graduation, and not giving your best effort in anything school related are our lives. Oh but sports is another story. Everyone loves sports! You give 110% in sports. Wait we have a math […]

The 2016 election cycle is slowly eroding from the bombardment of promises and entitlements. As a first-time voter, it is my responsibility to sift through the clutter of information to find the truth. One of the issues in this election cycle that directly affects me is tuition costs at state universities. Some politicians promise that, […]

How did a nonstory based on an iffy study end up in a New York Times blog? When reminiscing back to those grade school days out on the playground, I remember a kid who constantly picked on my classmates. I never understood why he bullied. He would push kids around and find enjoyment out of […]

High School. It really isn’t what people or the movies say it is. In the movies, they show it as if it’s a bad place, like how in almost all the high school movies, they have a loner, prep, popular, lame, jock, or emo person. Now I’m not saying that this is a bad thing, […]

At the age of fifteen, I was unable to attain a position at any of the numerous high end clothing companies that I one day aspire to work. The only option available to me was the mundane job of babysitting—a single mom with two young children, ages 4 and 7, was looking for a babysitter, […]

Dear Teachers, Although I have thoroughly enjoyed my high school experience thus far, but there is one constantly prying issue that I feel I must discuss: homework. Yes, I know it is a constant battle between students and teachers every year. However, I firmly believe my complaint is justified. I actually think that it is […]

This I believe: education should be viewed qualitatively, based on the principle that human actions cannot be graded on a number scale. I am an individual; I am unique; and I deny the constraints that hinder my creativity. In school, my teachers are pleased. I am doing well, they say. But according to what rationale? […]

Do you know why we have rules and regulations for Business day? The rules and regulations are made for Business day to make sure everything runs smoothly. These rules and regulations are made by the government. The government will be in charge to enforce the rules to every booth in the event. The government will […]

In Delaware there is no such thing as a “free lunch” for students. I know every student cant afford to have lunch everyday out the year, but every student deserved to have the option to have a lunch if wanted. No student should go a whole school day without food.Some parents cant afford to pay […]

Expectations. The expectations within educations are unruly. Everyone expects us to be the best. But in all truth, that’s pretty hard if you’re competing with robots. No, seriously I really think some people replaced there kids with robots. Everything those kids do is planned for an advantage not an interest. For example, I play Guitar […]

With a new generation should come new changes. In politics, we’ve accomplished that, electing Donald J Trump for our new president. In religious views, as we as a planet grow richer, we grow more secular. But what should change the most is society: education particularly. I advise schools to start the school day later. Even […]

Homework, we’ve all done it, whether you’re forty-two or eight you have touched that infamous work sheet that just crushes your spirits at first sight. Six plus hours spent at school then another two plus hours spent on homework, when is enough enough? Does homework truly help students or does it just beat them down […]

Teenagers love being able to express themselves through their outfits every day and dress codes limit these expressions. High school rules on dress code don’t allow students to wear what they want. Strict school rules on what students can and cannot wear negatively impacts schools because students don’t have the freedom to express themselves, girl’s […]

Knowledge is the greatest gift one can give. It is thus unjust that the youth of America are deprived the tools of understanding. Those individuals entrusted with their education simply do not teach students to appreciate the wonders of the world that are revealed through intellectual pursuits. The result is a deplorable situation in which […]

When I moved to Mason, OH, I learned that high school start time here is earlier than high school start time in the place that I moved from. It was mind blowing. I really love to sleep and I don’t want to wake up early. It will be also hard for me to adjust to […]
