- 391: Personal Writing: My Experience with English Education
- Personal Writing: My Experience with English Education English has never been my favorite subject. In fact, it has always been my least favorite subject. Going through school, I often wondered why I needed to do so many English related tasks, and in wondering, I learned to detest the subject without realizing its future benefits. Why do I dislike English so much? Is ... wasn't actually learning how to speak English that bothered me, my dislike for English began to form when I began getting English education in a formal learning environment. That's when I remember elementary school. I don't recall disliking English then. It was more like I was learning new things - things that I did not learn at home or in pre-school - like reading, writing, and grammar. It felt good to finally know how to read and write (and I suppose it felt good to have knowledge of a little grammar too). These were things that ...

- 395: Definition Of Education
- Education is defined as acquiring skills. There are many different ways to be educated and many subjects that can be studied. School is not the only place or setting in which we can learn or get educated. We usually receive information by seeing, touching, and hearing, but itˇ¦s useless unless we think about it. Otto Friedrich ... information and thinking. But, education canˇ¦t be complete with only informationˇ¦s transmittal and without the freedom of thinking.

A person who gets good grade has the ability to receive information and fill out the same information on exams as answers, which just accomplished the ...

- 397: Graduation 1999
- ... get this tie to look right. Its the big night of my life and I am standing here messing with my tie. This is the night that you have looked forward to ever since pre-school. Back then you could not wait to throw on that cap and gown, but now your almost dreading it. Maybe because it will be the very last time that you are a student in high school. It makes you wonder whether or not your the only one that feels this way. Looking at your class mates as you line up in the hall you remember all of the good times everyone had together. Like the time when the whole school was at the football game when we beat our school rivalry and painted the entire goal posts orange with spray paint, or whatever else was available. Or when the basketball team made it all ...

- 400: Grades Do Not Acurrately Reflect What A Student Has Learned
- ... Not Acurrately Reflect What A Student Has Learned Philip has been studying hard in all of his classes. He's struggling with two of his subjects, but is doing his best and getting help after school from his teachers. He knows he's worked hard this marking period, but he is still nervous when he receives his report card. Does this sound familiar? Why do we worry, when the basic purpose of school is to educate people, and to teach them the skills they will need to be successful in college, the workplace, and in everyday life. To rate one's progress, schools have a special unit of ... because he is being motivated by someone other than himself. Perhaps a parent is pushing Philip too hard to bring home all A's, or a coach is concerned with Susan's eligibility for a school sport. Maybe a teacher wants to see Philip make the high honor roll.
