His main evidence is in his statistical data that breaks down the percentages of traditional student versus nontraditional. There are as much as seventy-five percent of undergraduate students are nontraditional. The percentage of the nontraditional student is high because of family matter, by saying that because of the high pay of tuition for college or university that make those student cannot go…

In the first article “Youngest Kid, Smartest Kid” by Maria Konnikova, she discusses how many parents tend to redshirt their children because they feel holding off an extra year will give them a boost relative to their peers. While most parents think that this will benefit their children, it actually does just the opposite overtime. Earlier studies argued that redshirted children do better both socially and…
During this quarter, I got an opportunity to become a math tutor for 7th grade students at KIPP Adelante Preparatory Academy. This middle school is located at downtown San Diego, it is opposite to a superior court where always have few polices walk around this area and enclosed few apartments which is a pretty safe and quiet area. I found that it is rarely to see a white people in KIPP; Although most of the students in KIPP are from low income family, I felt like I was always energetic when I entered KIPP since most of the students are always happy, active and brisk. The classrooms in KIPP are conducive to learning because there have lots of test paper with 90 scores or up pasted around the wall, and also lots of posters about math too. Each…

Schools should be year-round because of many factors like the fact that year-round schooling can generate strong feelings. A 1994 report, “Prisoners of Time,” argued that “a departure from the traditional school calendar could better meet the needs of contemporary society and result in increased student achievement.” Research has also shown that year-round schooling does have an effective on students. Reviews of existing literature on this subject generally contend that the achievement of children in year-round schools is as good as, or slightly better than, that of their peers in traditional schools (Palmer & Bemis, 1999; Kneese, 1996). Another example would be a study on six elementary schools where year-round schools posted overall-test-score increases that was higher than those of traditional schools (Kneese, 2000). Schools should also be year-round because the common belief is that after a long three-month summer break, students are forgetting what they learned the previous year and teachers are wasting valuable time trying to review everything from the previous year. A review of 39 studies that has been conducted showed that students test scores drop over summer vacation and that mathematics…
Participants in Viviana and I’s research included 144 East High students. These student ranged from 9th-11th grade but could be broken up into 18 freshmen, 33 sophomores, 69 juniors, and 24 seniors. These students are part of a large school with roughly 1328 kids. Some other participants included Ms. Burkhart and Ms. Beekmann. These two ladies make up the attendance office at East High. They work daily with incoming visitors as well as the attendance of students. Lastly, our principal, Mr. Todd, played a crucial role in our study. Mr. Todd has been the principal of East High for many years now and has become very familiar with the school and its…
“At more than 3000 K-12 campuses around the country, school isn’t necessarily out for the summer.” (Zubrycki pg. 1). Year-round schools have varied schedules, and benefit to students, teachers, and parents. Scientists have proven the schedule and multi-tracking of year-round schools are not just a benefit for the students, but for parents and teachers as well.…
