Returning back to school at 43 has been one of the most rewarding, yet the most challenging experience. It did not take me long before I knew that this was exactly where I was supposed to be and what I needed to continue to progress in my life. Attending to school was all I wanted to do and I attempted to return on many occasions but there were always trials and hurdles that at the time I could not climb.…
Why do we have school for 9 months straight and then lose all of the knowledge we learned because we are too busy swimming in the pool and not caring about the date of World War 2? Students should have school all year round because we can learn so much more, we won’t have to remember everything we learned from 3 months ago, and relationships between students and teachers will be much stronger.…

Truth be told , year round school isn't even year round, so why go if it hurts more than it helps. It affects not only the students, but the parents and teachers as well.Year round school does not benefit the students because, the students don't get to experience fun summer vacations with their families and friends, there's no actual proof of better grades, and affording childcare all year is a big issue for parents.Year round school became an issue when it first began in the 19080’s , and is still a growing problem.…
In America, most children spend all year wishing that it was summer, so that they do not have to be in school. They could probably never imagine not having those three months to do as they please. Would they be able to survive without it? As it turns out, two million of the nation’s children already do. An extended year-round school calendar would immensely improve the problem areas in the education system, including summer learning loss, the wide range of academic capabilities of students, and providing costly summer care. Jenile Jaquez, an eleven year old who attends year round school, said the following when interviewed by Time for Kids:…

Online, physically, or verbally you can be a victim of being bullied. You don’t have to keep things as they are. The question is how to handle the situation (Do you attack the bully and become the bully yourself? Or do you ignore the bully and pretend all is well?) What you do is speak up and ask for help. I would know, because not only was I a victim, I was also a person who stood by and simply watched it happen.…
According to a study conducted by EducationNext, “moving to middle school leads to a substantial drop in student test scores in the first year of the transition, and the relative achievement of middle-school students continues to decline in the subsequent years they spend in such schools.” One aspect of the educational system that I think can be vastly improved is middle school. Although middle schoolers are faced with numerous challenges, the middle school curriculum does not allow students to explore their interests and more importantly, doesn't challenge students enough. In middle school, there is not a lot of advanced coursework that students can complete. This is why I believe that middle school students should have the opportunity to take a more strenuous curriculum by allowing them to take high school classes, as this system will give students the curriculum that they need to succeed and it will give them an abundance of time to explore their interests.…
Returning to school was a big decision for me, although it was a rather hasty one. I have wanted to return for many years to seek an actual degree; however I just didn’t have the motivation. Being turned down for a promotion gave me the motivation I needed. There are obstacles and lifestyle changes for anyone returning to school. The issue is how you handle them and looking toward the benefits of finishing school. Obstacles and lifestyle changes are hard to make when returning to school, but the benefits are so rewarding.…
For Bellmont High School our band always does concessions for football, basketball and wrestling season. In order for us who are in band to get our patches for our letterman jacket we must do eight concessions. Although, if we don't have eight concessions for each year done by the time we graduate the students, who don't have them don, can't graduate without paying a $100 fine. Well sometimes there are difficulties to get all eight in. I think that the people who don't have their eight in shouldn't have to pay that fine.…
