Because I had worked in an entirely different environment at I.S. 24, also on Staten Island, I was shocked at the contrast between these two schools. Two schools in the same district were run differently, populated by different students, and obviously had different student outcomes. Was the educational system so flawed that it produced such radical inconsistencies? At the previous student teaching experience I had, from January to March, I was inspired to see the students responding to the material and to the teachers. The overall educational environment was stimulating and positive. It was not like that at McKee High School, which had a depressing learning environment. The contrast made me think about what specific issues were different at McKee, and how those differences might be changed so that all students can achieve their highest potential. Contemplating the differences helped me also comprehend...
Education is not about standardized tests or even about curricula; it is about the educational climate. The educational climate is not a product of town-down programs that emanate from a well-meaning school authority but it comes from the bottom-up: from the culture itself.
Because this was a high school learning environment, it becomes apparent that disadvantaged youth need to be reached much earlier. The behavioral patterns and attitudes toward education have already been ensconced into the students. I believe that many of the students can change, but it is an uphill battle to achieve those goals and many are too difficult to reach. The teacher can only do so much; the teacher is only responsible for so much. American society itself is in trouble when young people fail to see any value at all…
There is also a definitely a positive correlation between extracurricular activities and retention and academic performance. By creating appropriate, engaging, and entertaining extra curricular activities and by involving all the students, schools could not only expect to increase the learning outcomes of all the students, but most importantly, make the children to enjoy the learning process.

, 1993). On the other hand, though, and more importantly for the purposes of this analysis, some studies have shown that those students who completed a high school economics class still developed a more keen awareness of the conditions that contributed to economic outcomes and what role they may play in later life. According to Lopus and Maxwell (1994), "Students who took high school economics, irrespective of the curriculum, did not
High School Students and World Wide Web This is a research proposal about the problems of high school students The use of World Wide Web by high school students to complete school assignments is now becoming a common practice. This study aims to find the problems and difficulties that students have using the World Wide Web as their primary source of information. The students who use World Wide Web as their primary
I had a crush of my own during high-school, but I knew that she was beyond my league. Jessica was probably the most beautiful girl in the school and she was a senior (I was a sophomore at the time). I wrote her the most beautiful poem that I could possibly think of and I hoped that this would show her that I was actually different from the other guys.
In this case the educational institutions will need to provide access to student records to evaluate how well students performed when they attended test preparation vs. when they did not attend test preparation classes. Much as the researcher proposes, Henze & Lucas (1993) predict it is possible to "shape" classroom instruction and test preparation courses to promote greater success and mastery of language among high school students (p. 54).

High School Campus Violence What measurable outcome do you choose to explain? The measurable outcome this study will explain is the relationship between hyperactivity caused by sugar and caffeine in the diets of highschool students and campus violence. How would you measure the outcome? The outcome of this study would be measured by keeping track of all school records relating to violent incidents on campus reported to the school nurse, teachers, and administrators. Identify a
