October 12‚ 2014 Self-Responsibility One positive to Grade Inflation is the fact that students are less stressed over grades and school over all‚ besides the more money the school gets as a result of higher letter grade output. Although students are less stressed‚ the do however become lazier which in the end results in more stupid people. Some students might take advantage of this and take more classes or do positive and valuable things outside of school. This would not be a problem if students are responsible

High School Football was an interesting topic. I was so excited to finally play at the high school level‚ but I was constantly worrying about if I would be good enough to actually play. I’d been playing since the 3rd grade‚ and loved every minute of it. After putting in the work at the middle school level‚ I didn’t know how well I would do in high school. All of this changed after our first game‚ when I caught my first touchdown pass. This experience was so special because I realized that I had what

Second Grade Experience During my second year in elementary school‚ due to the fact that I was doing so horribly in my grades‚ my parents decided to send me back to El Salvador to bring up my grades. In El Salvador‚ I lived with my grandma‚ my cousins‚ my great aunts and uncles‚ and most of my family. The schools in El Salvador were so much more different than the schools in America. Since El Salvador is a poor country‚ the schools couldn’t afford to serve lunch and the houses were much smaller

Why Was the First Day of the Battle of the Somme (1st July 1916) Such A Disaster? The Battle of the Somme began on the 1st of July 1916 just north of Somme. This was over a month earlier than planned but the British needed to attack early in order to draw out the German troops from Verdun and save the French army. The battle was intended to create a rupture in the German line which could then be exploited so the Allies could get deep into the enemy lines. But the first day was a disaster and

Katie Daniel Professor Skidmore English 122 19 June 2012 Grade Inflation Grade inflation is a topic that at first glance seems somewhat clear but becomes more and more confusing the longer you think about it. Grade inflation is when you see an upward trend in ones grades without a rise in achievement. For example‚ if a student signs up for a class with a specific teacher it is most likely because they know they can pass and not put a lot of effort into succeeding. In return the student also

If public school students had one thing over their private school counterparts it’s about to change. That’s right: not only are public schools notorious for large classes and limited resources but now some of them are adopting what has always been most dreaded by the youth attending private schools: school uniforms. The very idea seems a bit strange. Agonizing over what to wear to school (and whose logo or face to wear across on your T-shirt) has always been a kind of right of passage for

1st Grade Woes By Eli G. In order for the reader to fully comprehend the severity‚ no matter how seemingly conjured‚ imagined or exaggerated‚ of the situation in which I found myself as a young‚ innocent 1st grader‚ it must be understood that when attending a very conservative‚ private‚ Christian school‚ at even the slightest mention of kissing‚ the horrified reaction of those who heard might have been the same if you had suggested genocide nonchalantly. Thus‚ on a deceivingly ordinary and mild

FOURTH-GRADE ORGY Not everyone is thrilled with the idea of mandatory g/l/b/t lessons for children in public schools. Focus on the Family’s James Dobson observed at a recent meeting of National Religious Broadcasters that it might seem an odd priority when 42% of American boys cannot read by the time they reach Grade 4. Well‚ he has a point. Especially if the Grade 4 boys at Marble Falls Elementary School in Texas are anything to judge by. They seem to have been using time for reading to practise
