Most people do not understand how much stress a typical high school student carries with them on a daily basis. There are innumerable stereotypes that are aimed at teenagers all the time such as, being lazy, bad drivers, always on the internet, or "we have got it easy". Newsflash people!

Random Drug Testing in High schools Many high schools across the country have brought much attention to the idea of giving random drug tests to students in high school. The newfound interest in student drug testing may be as a result of recent polls, which have shown an increase in drug use among high school students.

Schools should not require social media use in classes. First of all, schools should keep students focused during classes. By giving students

is right to get judgmental when I first approach a person. I feel so bad when I find out who they really are isn 't who I thought they were. It just seems to happen so naturally. I guess it is just human nature. I can relate this to my senior high school days. Most of the judgments I made about people never helped me because it got me into bad company. In a short story ‘Strangers’, a stranger hurt and lied to Toni Morrison about who she was. She was really hurt by the stranger because she had misjudged
Laptops vs. Tablets As you are transitioning from high school to college you are faced with many arduous decisions. One of these dilemmas would be choosing what kind of technology you want to use at school: a laptop or a tablet.

Imagine yourself in a college classroom writing an essay or making a power-point on your tablet. Suddenly, you attempt to

age is not a barrier preventing us from making friends. People can have close friend who share many things in common even if they are not the same age. My parents made me going to school a little bit earlier than other people. The friends I have and the people I met every day are usually older than me. In high school, there are even times when I took the same class with people who is about six years older than me. Thus, when I always interact with people older than me, I will become more mature

Prayer in School: Good or Bad? As secular humanists and groups like the Christian Coalition are at war with each other regarding prayer in high schools behind closed doors in Washington DC, the average high school kid is the one that gets caught in the middle. For years now there has been a heated debate about whether or not prayer should be allowed in school,. Everytime the argument is rekindled, it ends in a stalemate, and is a topic that campaigning politicians tend to stay away from
Politics, there were fifty five school shootings between November 1,991 and July 16, 2013 (Gupta). However, since 2013, there have been 142 school shootings (Mosendz). If the ratio would have stayed the same between 1991to 2013 and 2013 to 2016, eight school shootings would be expected to have taken place during 2013 and 2016, not 142. School shootings are becoming more of a problem throughout the years. More and more innocent students and teachers are dying due to school shootings. This is not fair
and happiness. That lasted a good couple of years until both of my brothers were born. Then I watched as I was shoved to the back and they took the limelight.

pieces of education-related legislation goes back as far as 1870, when Free State education was introduced. Although school attendance wasn’t compulsory, it did offer children from less privileged backgrounds the opportunity to attend school for free. This is clearly an education policy reducing social class inequality, as it is allowing those having no money being allowed to attend school without having to pay. A second piece of education policy that could be said to have a main aim of reducing social
more than being a high school student. In the time that I have been in college, I have seen that more freedom is allowed to students in college than in high school. Such choices as the note taking, the environment, or class selection are a few examples of how college is less restrictive than high school. Because of the educational freedom and having more control over my education, I find being a college student more enjoyable than being a high school student. In high school, the classes that students

There is ample evidence that secondary schools today can 't afford to be the norm. In any case, the procedure of restructuring secondary schools, especially low-performing urban secondary schools, is more troublesome, complex, and controversial than the literature on school change has acknowledged.

However, there is growing confirmation that these "change guidelines" are not

Before I begin rambling, I want to thank the principal and his supporting staff for this school, the teachers and their dedication, the parents for their fruitful and exhausting efforts and most of all my peers that used this opportunity in education and stuck
Music, art, dance and drama is a huge hobby people may have. It been a class in school for many years. It’s a fun class that you can learn about your strengths and weaknesses. Many people don’t like the same hobby as others. I think that we should keep theses classes so we can learn about the background of it all.
