In my previous Academic History I went to Cape May County Technical High School. Throughout my high school career I was a very contentious student. I study very hard and put a lot of effort into my school work. In high school I really enjoyed getting involved. My Sophomore year I managed the swim team which I continued to do until I graduated. My Junior year is where I found my love for cross country. I ran both my junior and senior year and it really helped me mentally and taught me that anything

Grade Inflation Former Stanford President Don Kennedy argues the grades themselves don’t matter–what’s important is the academic quality. Kennedy proposes that the letter grade students score in classes is irrelevant but rather the knowledge gained is what really matters (Kennedy). Teachers and student’s themselves have given letter grades a priority in education‚ losing sight of what is really important. Donald Caruth suggests that there has been an upward shift in grades without a corresponding

Community service‚ work done without pay‚ is becoming increasingly familiar to high school students nation-wide. Schools are encouraging student to participate in communities that contribute so much to their public education. However‚ requiring 100 hours of community service is asking too much of students and should be reduced to 50 hours. Students already have their hands full among homework‚ clubs‚ sports‚ and their actual lives. Because the work may not be volunteering if it is required‚ then

In Classical High School‚ a boy and girl are sat beside each other. Both learning. Both participating in class. Both wearing sleeveless shirts. The principal happens to walk in and asks the girl to step out of the class to speak. The girl ends up getting sent home for distracting the class. Dazed and confused‚ the girl asks why and the principal responds with “your shirt is distracting the boys”. Is this insulting to boys saying they get distracted by foolish things like a shoulder? Or an insult

High school is the time in our lives to begin exploring options and figure out who we are as individuals‚ and where we want to go. It is a pathway that guides us to whatever our future holds‚ but it is also full of commotion‚ which would transform the slightest bit of misunderstanding into arguments and violence. I recall a classmate of mine transferring school due to a fallacious rumor of him stealing. There was no proof; just words from people who “claim” they believe it were him. Far too many

Last year at school was wack‚ I didn’t try at all. I’m hoping that this year can go a lot better. This school year will be better because I’m going to turn in all homework and i’m going to go to all my classes without complaint. I am going to have to make a lot of changes by not skipping school and turning in all my work. By making these changing I can reach my goal of graduating high school and going to college and becoming a surgeon. If I make these changes I can make this year better than last
