Educational stages within state schools are: early years, primary, secondary, higher education, and further education. In private schools these relate to nursery, pre-preparatory, preparatory, and public. Within the state education system key stages are followed, from 1-4, setting guidelines for the education knowledge expected of pupils at various ages. State schools are government funded and owned by the Local Education Authority. The schools are majority run by a board of governors. They are comprehensive and accept children from all academic abilities and take boys and girls. Admissions are usually based on whether children live in the nearby area, whether siblings already attended, and disability causing commuting to be impractical. There…
School is both stressful and fun. Almost everyone in this world has been or will go to school at one point in their lives. Even though school was never my favorite thing to do in this life of mine I have always learned to make the most of the experience whether that comes from learning the material or just meeting new friends in my classes. My experiences have differed from grade to grade but I could clump the majority of experiences by the educational stages that include Elementary School,…
minority, and low-income students, these programs improve educational success in school, from the early stages of school until they graduate from college. The school’s faculty uses these programs to monitor students’ individual progress and research-based interventions that follow students as a unit through their school years (Gandara 5).

According to U.S. Department of Education, eighty-one percent of Asian-Americans and seventy-one percent of Caucasian students do not attend high schools that offer a complete education in mathematics (US Department of Education). Studies show that students are not pursuing the STEM education because they are not introduced to applied math and science programs at an early stage in life. When a STEM program is introduced in elementary school, children gain interest in STEM education at a faster…
Growing up fitting in was never really too big of a problem for me as I was never put down by anyone or out casted by a group. I grew up in a very diverse neighborhood with the majority population of African Americans, Hispanics, and Caucasians. I never cared for or saw skin color as a problem, whenever I wanted to participate in an activity I just barged in and participated. In other words I did what I wanted to do. I knew that if I wanted to make a new friend all I had to do was speak to…
Chapter One- Introduction Statement of Problem When thinking of the course of an average school day for elementary students one envisions a day spent working through the four major academic cores, in order to achieve a balanced education. Thus has been the experience of generations of school age children since the dawn of public education in America. A new era has arisen that has challenged, if not overthrown, traditional education dogma; a sole focus on English and Mathematics in the Elementary…

Home is an intimate place in which one’s domestic affections are centered. That is not the case for most of my life. Throughout my life, I have considered various locations as home. I was born in a small city in southeastern China, and lived in my grandparents’ house until I was eight. That was when I immigrated to the United States with my Dad. Although it was a fascinating experience, it was also my first time leaving my home country and integrating into a new culture. It was also the first…
