    Ideal High School

    • 803 Words
    • 4 Pages

    When trying to design an ideal high school‚ I feel that two important aspects should focus on; preventing violence and bullying and enhancing academic achievement through positive enforcement towards learning. These two specific issues seem to foster each other and by addressing them individually‚ it becomes apparent that one benefit’s the other. The school would first implement a “anti-bullying” policy. According to Lajoie‚ McLellan‚ and Seddon (1997) “Bullying is one of the most underrated and

    For years‚ people debated on what math classes are required for a high school diploma. Each state has its own rules for what is required for a diploma. The four math classes in discussion are Algebra 1‚ Geometry‚ Algebra 2‚ and Trigonometry. Trigonometry is usually the last class that could be required.

    I’ve mostly gotten used to students stressing over “maxing out” because the school and classes I’m in are so competitive‚ it’s difficult to maintain the mindset that education isn’t just about grades‚ rather the learning‚ when I seem to be the only one with that perspective.

Despite being a very social and vocal person‚ whenever

Many aspects of both high school and college can be tied together. People learn many of the same things they learned in high school during their first year or two of college. They are basic general education classes. They are similar in such ways that you still have to go to class‚ do class work‚ home work

    The tank tops worn by students at Upper Perkiomen High School should not completely eliminated without spoken reasoning. Listed as the seventh rule in the student handbook‚ it is stated‚ “Tank tops‚ tube tops‚ halter tops‚ muscle shirts‚ and garments with spaghetti straps are not permitted in school” (52). This rule states that students may not wear any top that does not cover their shoulders. My thought process‚ and many other students‚ believe this rule is absurd and has no true meaning. Students
