High School Conformism Throughout majority of my high school life‚ I always questioned why things operated the way they did. Being forced to go to a place‚ or my parents could possibly go to jail. To be honest it sort of felt like a indoctrination. Going there I noticed everything was controlled and different social groups where created based on different peoples personalities. The irony of it all is that from a young age school seemed to indorse individuality‚ yet hypocritical policies such

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.

Despite being a very social and vocal person‚ whenever

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).

High School and College High school and college are the same in some ways‚ but are different at the same time. Some people there isn’t much of a difference between them. I beg to differ. 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
