Compare and Contrast Essay
January 7 2012

Two schools I have attended are Seth G. Haley Elementary School and Harry M. Bailey Middle School. Both are located in West Haven, CT but have different addresses. Seth Haley is located at 148 South Street and Harry Bailey is at 106 Morgan Lane. Both have a Principal who is male. Ronald Stancil Jr. is at Haley and Dr. Anthony Cordone is at Bailey. Bailey has two Vice Principals to help out too.
Seth Haley is an Elementary School that starts with Preschool and then has Kindergarten through Fourth Grade. Their mascot is the Haley Comet. The kids who go there are the ones who live around there-mostly on the shoreline called West Shore. There are about 500 kids who go to Haley and their day starts at 8:55 in the morning and dismissal is at 3:25 in the afternoon. When kids get dismissed from Haley, someone has to be at the school to pick them up or the bus stop to meet them or the school will not let them go and the bus driver will not let them off at the stop.
Bailey is a Middle School that has all the kids who are in Public School in West Haven, CT for Seventh and Eighth Grade. Our mascot is the Bailey Eagle. There are about 1000 kids in Bailey and our day starts at 7:40 in the morning and dismissal is at 2:15 in the afternoon. When the bell rings at our dismissal kids can walk home alone and I don’t need anyone waiting at the bus stop for me for the bus driver to let me off.
Both schools serve Breakfast and Lunch to kids who want it. At Seth Haley the lights go off in the cafeteria when the kids are eating to prevent them from fooling around and maybe choking while they eat. Haley has older and more responsible kids who are allowed to eat with the lights on. Both have teachers as cafeteria monitors to keep kids from getting into trouble or wandering in the halls. At Haley the minute the kids walk in the lunch room they are allowed to get in the food line. At Bailey we have to sit at a table and wait until we

    The education system in Sebring is remarkable. We not only have dank memes, but we also learn stuff too! The existence of an IB school in our county is helpful to those who are less fortunate, and cannot go to a better school for higher level education. If I had to go to Seminole High School and back every day, it would cost $40. That’s an extra $200 per week that most people in Sebring can’t afford. Sebring was the nation’s poorest city in 2013, and 23.5% of the population was under the poverty line. Sebring High is providing an education that most of these kids wouldn’t be able to have normally, and that really matters to me.…

Shannon High School is for students that have fallen behind in their credits, have dropped out of school and have decided to return to school, or feel like they do not fit in at one of our main traditional campuses.

    Attending either a Private school with a religious background or a Public school can have advantages and disadvantages. Both Private and Public schools have their respective benefits; however, private school has countless amounts of benefits.

Prior to my freshman year, I decided to move to a private school for my highschool years. I found myself in a class A school with approximately one hundred students.

    “We’re back to the Beav!” My dad would mockingly say this to embarrass me when telling family about my decision to transfer back into Beaverton School District. I had attended BSD schools my entire life; Montclair Elementary, then the International School of Beaverton for Junior High, but in the summer of 8th grade, I decided to switch to Woodrow Wilson High School. I had found an interest in Computer Programming, and felt that I wanted to pursue my passion. Wilson High has a very well-known Technology program, so I applied for a transfer and was accepted. Coming into my first day of Freshman year, I didn’t know a single person in my grade, but I wasn’t concerned about that. I quickly made friends, and settled down into place. The year was…

    Emerson and Thoreau share similar views on life. They share similar views on life like thinking that it should be taken with simple steps and with ease, living life the way you want to, and appreciating the little values that come along with it. Thoreau states that life should be simple and that “being in the now” is taking over. Everyday advances in the world are starting to choose how we live for us, instead of living our lives ourselves. Emerson says that appreciating small things, appreciating yourself, and appreciating others around you is life. These are the points stated by Emerson and Thoreau on how life should be for everyone.…

    In the stories, “The Lie,” by Kurt Vonnegut and “Barn Burning,” by William Faulkner, the main characters mature from childhood into adulthood. This maturity either develops from support of one’s family and upbringing or it grows internally from one’s conscience. We see from both stories that the main characters use this maturity to courageously speak up.…
