‘The school day should start late’ Almost every weekday‚ high school students are waking up around six o’clock in the morning to get ready for school‚ some even earlier. It’s not practical for high school classes to start at 8.30 or earlier. It’s just too early for teenage minds to function properly. Our school should start at least an hour later than that. With the extra hour‚ our attendance would improve‚ as well as our grades and attitudes. The facts are all there‚ so why shouldn’t the hours

one of the common topics of conversation among the parent community is‚ “where are you going to send your kids to high school?” We genuinely have no idea. Our options are made much more complex by the fact that all of the six high schools within walking distance of our house (two public‚ four private) are single sex. When I talk about not wanting to send my boys to a single sex school‚ most parents are surprised that I would care. My reasoning is almost entirely about socialisation – I know enough people

Autumn Miller 12/3/13 Children in American Schools While watching the video “Children in American Schools”‚ there were a lot of things that I found very surprising. Since here at Elida High School we have such a nice‚ clean environment to learn in‚ I couldn’t imagine trying to learn in the conditions some of those students were.
