As a senior who is graduating in a very short amount of time, I have gathered up a strong four years of advice to get you through, or hopefully help you get through, the crazy world that is high school.

Right now schools across New York are taking the Common Core state tests. Our teachers are getting graded based on what our scores on these tests are.

School seems to follow you all over the world. Aside from school itself, it appears at home, pops up in conversations between friends, and even interferes with your vacation.

The world of high school, the prison where one is contained for hours, never seeing sunlight until the bell rings, signaling the end of the day. Inside the walls, one is never safe, the fear of being odd is close to the heart. The classes are like lectures, never ending, pushing themselves into the mind, […]
I am afraid of going to school. I am also afraid of being shot. These two fears of schools and guns should not correlate, but they do. Every morning I wake up and wonder if today will be the day our school will get shot up. Is this something we can change? Where have we […]

It’s hard to take the term overworking seriously, but when it comes to the developing mind of young adults, it should be.

I think that we should be able to have our cell phones in school. If we cannot use them during class we should at least be able to use them in between classes and at lunch. Sometimes our parents need to text us to tell us something or ask us something and don’t want to […]
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.

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 […]

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 […]

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.

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 […]
