  • Stratford Caldecott Analysis

    766 Words  | 2 Pages

    Stratford Caldecott’s “Remembering: Grammar-Mythos-Imagining the Real” is from his book Beauty in the Word, published in 2012. In this chapter, he argues that naming, as the beginning of grammar, is an integral part of our humanity. He goes on to connect grammar to the arts of remembering, tradition, and storytelling, as well as commenting on the danger of becoming too reliant on technology. Caldecott believes that grammar, and thereby Remembering, brings us into a greater community of human thought which transcends time; as a result, ‘Grammar’ is “the remembrance of Being” (Caldecott 59). This, he argues, is why it is so important to teach grammar; losing the art of grammar would mean losing our very humanity.

  • Year 11 Prom Committee

    698 Words  | 2 Pages

    Prom Committee Personally, I would absolutely adore the oppurtunity to be a member of the prom committee for the 2016 year 11 prom for a variety of reasons. Firstly, I have an extremely creative streak and would relish in the chance to plan and think of new and unique ideas whilst working with and building off of the ideas of others to create a phenomenal finalised piece. Additionally, I don’t enjoy being a bystander and I dislike the idea of spectating when I could be participating and in general I strive to ivolve myself in as many opportunities that present themselves as possible and for this reason I am interested in doing more than simply attending the event but instead hope to play a major role in planning the event. From this I know that the sense of achievement and satisfaction for planning such a wonderful event would be immensly fulfilling and it would be a fond memory

    Growing up I never gave a thought as to why I was homeschooled. Having never experienced a single day of public school, I wasn’t familiar with the morning routine of catching the school bus. The familiar scene for me was waking up much later than my peers and going to my “school” where every day was pajama day. While my friends would often let me know how

In addition, I have taken three years of Spanish as a third language and an advanced placement class for U.S. history.

  • College Admission Essay Focusing on Academics, Spirituality and Service

    1073 Words  | 3 Pages

    Academics has always been an important part of my life. Ever since I was a young child my parents have pushed me to lead good life academically. All throughout grade school I have had decent grades (generally speaking in the nineties or above), and I owe this, at least partly, to my parent's determination to give me the best possible education. I also owe this to my will to be at the top of my academic game. This was naturally quite easy for me up until my senior year of high school. When my senior year came around, there was a lot of pressure on me to make a lot of life changing decisions. When all of this was put on me, the last thing that i wanted to do was change the way i was living. I loved the way my life was, and going away from home to college wasn't something that i felt i was ready to do. Because of this i decided to enroll in Genesee Community College, which is about five minutes away from my house.

  • Negative Essay: Homeschool Or Public School?

    1552 Words  | 4 Pages

    While the majority choose to do so for academics, the reasoning goes beyond simply that. Homeschool families are often stereotyped as extremely religious and attempting to hide their children from the corruption and sin of the world. Families that do keep children out for these reasons are still prevalent within the homeschooling community; my mother contemplated homeschooling me and my brothers for this reason, and one of my best friends is homeschooled in a religious home. As homeschooling grows more mainstream, more families believe that public school squashes a child’s creativity and attempts to conform all children into the same person. Lynn Schnaiberg, a writer for Education Weekly, gives the reasons for four homeschooling families in her article “Staying Home from School.” In this article, the first family, the Scandora’s, believe “learning is not a product of teaching” and that their children should be free to learn at whatever pace they want. Another family featured in Schnaiberg’s article, the Collins family, is dissatisfied with the Baltimore city schools, which had some of the lowest test scores in the state. The Hoyt family has two children who are considered “gifted.” Because public schools do not give proper attention

  • The Advantages of Homeschooling

    ...e was able to do volunteer work during the day for ministries that our church runs. Which I felt was an enriching experience that he was able to have by being homeschooled . He also was much better for our family unit as we were better able to bond and keep the bad behaviors of other children away from our son. Homeschooling is not for everyone but is a rewarding and viable option to educate children. My son graduated Ocean County College with honors and is now attending Monmouth University on scholarships and grants..He was also hired this past September by Apple as a family room specialist. I do not believe had he attended a public school he would have achieved as much as he has to date. I believe that because he was able to learn and grow at his own pace and within his learning style he was able to do much better that if he were confined to a class room everyday.
