Essay 1 It was the fourth grade where learning started becoming less enjoyable and more of a chore to do. I blame the teacher I had, and still blame her for such a horrible experience I had. She was completely biased when dealing with me. I still don’t know what I did to make her hate me that much. I was a pretty good kid; didn’t get in much trouble, had decent grades, and got along with everyone. Yet I would get detention slips at least once a week or she would make me stay inside her classroom during our snack and lunch periods so I would clean her room. Throughout that year I noticed that I was the only one who would get such harsh treatment from her. If the other kids did something wrong they were let off with a warning. My grades were horrendous that year compared to my previous ones. Now for a fourth grader that’s a big deal, especially with the pressure my parents would put me under at such a young age to do well in school.
The year ended and I had finally gotten rid of her. Fifth grade came and went so smoothly, without the numerous detention slips and principal office visits. I went back during my high school sophomore year to an open house because my brother went to that school and I saw her. She noticed me and very smugly …show more content…

I created many lasting friendships in that class, strengthened the ones I already had, and had a very incredible learning experience. The atmosphere in that class was just so different from any other class I had. It was so laid back and fun while still very serious and educational. The only class that has had this same feeling for me has been my senior year world history class. A class where you feel extremely comfortable with everyone is just so exhilarating and learning becomes so enjoyable. English class did have it ups and downs. My teacher was pregnant that year and we only had her for 2 weeks before she left for maternity

    ...out homework, which was a huge stress relief. The class also offered how to write the base foundation of any paper, which is significant to become a great writer as well as to write a flawless paper. Also, the group activities allowed us to get closer with our classmates. However, I feel like some of the activities we did were mediocre and ordinary. But it is hard to tell what experience each student received from their high school. Some knew more than others, and I was just more grateful with the education I obtained from high school. I was also not fond of buying the books for the class, when it was not a necessity for class. We did not put much use into the books, and they were relatively expensive. I do recommend the class, especially to incoming freshman. It is a great foundation for legitimate college writing classes. I enjoyed learning from you Mrs. Penwell.

    Bullying occurs everywhere from the smallest playgrounds, to private and public schools and even on college campuses. Before social media, it used to be a problem that went unreported and unseen, but now has extended “leaps and bounds” to include texting and cyber-bullying. My story of being bullied began during the third grade after I started wearing a back brace to school. I wore the brace 23-hours a day for three years until having my spine surgically fused while in the 6th grade. The bullying started with rumors and whispers followed by mockery from a few girls.

Also, in today’s modern world, bullies may not merely shake down classmates for lunch money; they have found ways to hound their victims long after they have left the school grounds by using the internet. Another form of bullying is sexual harassment, which is bullying based on the person’s gender or sexual preferences. Sexual harassment is a very damaging problem, especially to school age child who have yet to develop a strong sexual identity of their own.

I felt like I could have kept myself busy all day just by looking at the walls and seeing the pictures of presidents and famous historic quotes by famous people of our nations past. One thing I really enjoyed was the time the teachers allotted me at the end of each class to reflect to the class.
