Altering Sequoyah High School
High school is a time for students to develop new interests, talents, and hobbies. As well as, prepare them with material they need for college or the workforce. Most schools, Sequoyah High School being amongst one of these schools, are lacking the resources that students need in order to pursue these academic interests. Although Sequoyah High School is a great high school for students in Monroe County, there are several issues that still need to change in order to help better the school system as a whole.
Most importantly, I would replace some of the staff at Sequoyah High School because some teachers fail to provide the necessary information that the students need to gain appropriate knowledge for the future.

  • Detroit Public Schools Case Study

    854 Words  | 2 Pages

    Detroit, once known as a bustling city of fast cars and bling, is now known for its poor education system. Detroit, minus its Red Wings, has failed at every turn economically and educationally. With its population cut in half and poverty rates soaring, there is no telling what can stop this disaster of a city. The only hope, it seems, is to better educate the region that Detroit inhabits. Detroit Public Schools has been one of the worst performing school districts in recent years. In 2013, the city of Detroit filed chapter 9 bankruptcy, the largest account of bankruptcy to-date. Good teachers avoid Detroit Public Schools because of the poverty, job quality, and low pay, leaving children with the unqualified teachers they have today in this poverty-plagued city that they call home.

  • Pros And Cons Of A Class President

    191 Words  | 1 Pages

    My school, Community School of Davidson has some things that would surpass my standards if I were class president. I would choose to change our homecoming, a time to celebrate our school. I believe that we should have a more traditional homecoming. This would consist of having the Homecoming football game on a Friday night. Then on that saturday we would have someone to go to the formal with, our date. This is what most schools do and I just think that it would be a lot of fun to get dressed up and go with your date to homecoming. Another thing that I would choose to change if I was running for class president is that I would choose to remove jumpstart, a time to be active during the day. I do like having the extra ten minutes to goof around

  • John Dewey Beliefs

    798 Words  | 2 Pages

    The limited experience that a high schooler receives does not give them the opportunities that they deserve. Also, the general information that is taught to students does not apply to their needs; this information does not allow them to find their path in which they want to live their lives. In addition, a democratic education system is not portrayed throughout high school. Relationships between students and teachers are nonexistent, and students are dropping out of high school as a result. Our society is full of unsuccessful human beings that have no idea of how to live their life. This is what our education system has created. Now, we must make the change and stick to Dewey’s educational

  • Raise Awareness About Sexual Assault

    390 Words  | 1 Pages

    My program would be more interactive with students to raise awareness about sexual assault. I would persuade the President to have a mandatory in-person class that all students must take. An in-person class would be beneficial because it will force students to attend it. The class will be a one-unit class that meets up once a week. By it being once a week, it will have the student thinking about the class for the semester. On top of that, I would post more flyers raising awareness about sexual assault. The flyers would be put out the week before “Take Back the Night” that Fresno State has so that more students can be encouraged to go to it. The event sometimes has victims talk about their sexual assault and everything they have been through
