High School Vs. College
.... were home in time for curfew. When
students get to college, they are suddenly faced with all sorts of new
freedoms. They will have to choose priorities and decide whether to do
homework or go out with friends. No one will be there to tell the students
what they ought to do.
A second change a student will have to make when going to college
is learning to live with a roommate. While living at home, a student could
always escape from everything and be alone just by going to his bedroom.

education. Parents fail to impress upon their children the importance of

his/her foot on the gas. With the engine running, point the gun at the

in appropriate, and/or unrecognized. For instance, a teacher may call on a
non-minority student before a minority student. The teacher may pick on
the non-minority due to a belief that these students care about their
schooling, whereas minority students are being pre-judged without the
chance to really learn. Some people even believe that combining the
different minorities may cause problems.
Combining minority with non-minority students can create some

and write (and I suppose it felt good to have knowledge of a little grammar
too). These were things that once I learned them, I was using them
everyday. Not only did I use the knowledge to read a story in reading
class or to do a writing assignment, but to maybe read the newspaper and
write a note to a friend as well.

began to really dislike English classes. Not only was I fac .....

Something that used to be considered good clean fun has become a
constant frustration to teachers and parents everywhere. Many educators on
recess duty who have observed children at play have come to believe that
rough play which might look innocent can and often does lead to real
violence. The goodness of teaching political correctness in the classroom
is its ability to protect our children from violence, discrimination, and
the unfairness that exist in this world.

adults look down on it with the assumption that kids are unintelligent and

most of the adults did the same thing when they were children. Adults have
been frowning on slang for generations (Crystal 104).
Conservatives also look down upon slang because slang is not used
by people of high status. If they hear someone speaking in Jive, t .....

Harbor bombing Roosevelt decided to wait until the mainland was being

it definitely wouldn't be written in English. Effective time management is
the key to success.

Studies show that a dress code reduces violence and makes students

not prove effective then we will be forced to simply bring them all into a
