Students in Need (of a Change) Ever since high school, all students are told about the many different financial options available to them to help pay for their college education. However, there are also students who are told that they are available for additional aid because they are considered to be underprivileged. For students like me, the term “underprivileged” is placed on them early on in schools and will continue to follow them for most of their undergraduate career. I am able to relate to
Student Loans By Arry Rendel 5th period Knowledge is key to becoming successful in life. But sometimes further education can become costly. And no one wants to be in debt just because of student loans. I think that they should provide more grants and scholarships because some students can’t afford to attend colleges. That’s why scholarships can help them pay for those colleges and decrease the chances of them taking out student loans. They help you pay for one year because you must
Student-athletes are some of the most cherished figures in their communities. These players compete in collegiate sports programs all across the country in their respective academic institutions. What is the process that takes these young individuals from high-school athletes to college competitors? At first glance, the recruitment procedure may seem like a simple, straightforward operation, but it is quite the contrary.

“Teachers, please release your students to their Advisory class,” the speaker announces to all of the eighth hour classes. As I open the wooden door and leave the physics room, other classroom doors slam open and students rush out into the hall. Some of them, including me, plan to attend the pep rally that day, while others plan on the sudden flood of “doctor’s appointments,” releasing them from this school activity. Upon entering my Advisory classroom and then continuing on to the assembly, I can
The term student-athlete was first crafted by Walter Byers in 1951, the first President of the NCAA. Student-athlete refers to a student enrolled full-time at an accredited four-year academic institution who also participates full time in collegiate athletics. The NCAA has stated time and time again that these students are not employees of the university they attend or of the NCAA and refuse to compensate them for their talent. My position on this matter is that student athletes should be given a
Student athletes of colleges across America practice every day to be able to perform for large crowds year round. These athletes train in the weight and study in the film rooms for hours to perfect their craft in hopes to play well enough to make it to the professional leagues. These athletes, however, are not compensated for their efforts, and this has raised a big question about whether or not these students should receive some monetary stipended for their efforts.

Whether or not teachers should give students homework has evolved into a significant controversy that has been up for debate for decades.

thirteen colonies. Every student understands what it means when a teacher assigns homework; it usually means hours of the student’s free time spent on school work and not enough time to spend with their friends or even with their families. Many teachers have the mind set that homework allows students to practice the subject they learned in class. Recently, researchers have found evidence to show that homework has caused more trouble than help to students. Homework should be substantially reduced
of you that sounds ridiculous. That’s because it is. Students have to go through this painful process from September to May and usually don’t have anything to show for it. They dedicate their whole lives to getting all A’s on their report card and when they finally do all they usually get is a pat on the back. Thus, students should get paid for having good grades because it takes lots of hard work to get those grades, it would cause more students to strive for good grades, and it would eliminate the

The students might not take as them getting in trouble but, they might take saying they have a few days to sleep in like a vacation.

learning. Students should not have to homework over top of their already busy day. The first reason students should not have homework is it could effect their sleeping schedule. Students already spend over half of the day at school learning. Students are tired when they come home. If a student has to do homework after an already busy day, they could be up past midnight trying to complete it. If a student doesn't do their homework, they almost always get some sort of zero and students wouldn't
Students should be suspended, unless the act of encouraging others to do the same. Students who get suspended are most likely staying at home by themselves, the “bad” students might be putting off their work, not doing, or not exacltly foucing on what they had done or their work. Although, suspension used to be a positive practice for children, students are not taking their time to think about what they did wrong, and doing the same thing when they get back to school grounds. Suspension should be
retention is requiring a student to return to a grade for further education, because he or she did not demonstrate a knowledge of the skills. Retention has many benefits that can be seen in students, but it also has its negative effects as well. Many educators have views about when students should be retained.

School has instituted a new policy that limits the number of Advanced Placement classes students can enroll in during junior year. Previously students after being granted a waiver could take a maximum of four AP classes. However under the new guidelines all juniors are restricted to three. This is unfair to students who seek to reach their full academic potential. Counselors have cited that, “many students taking 4 APs felt it was too much to handle and would transfer from the AP class in the middle
Let Us Plug In A student was sitting in class and a teacher said Everyone get your chromebooks out. The student opened their chromebook and it wouldn’t turn on. The student raised their hand and said My chromebook is uncharged. The teacher told the student oh well you have to work and watch from another student's chromebook. Having students do this can be a problem because students then can’t work at their own pace and usually don’t work as well because their not hands on and in front of them to

learned, and they help us to see where we need more practice. If a student does poorly, should they be allowed a retest? Do retests allow kids to push the test off, and not prepare adequately? Do retest offer any benefits? Does allowing retests put students behind in college readiness? Teachers must be able to prepare each and every student well enough so that they can take the test and remember what has been taught with ease. Students also must be willing to put in the required work, and must be responsible
