Schoolwork

As a junior in High School, the possibilities are endless when it comes to being involved in events outside of the classroom. However, after coming home from school, finishing piles of homework, and grabbing a bite to eat, I find little time for any other activities. By missing out on these out of the classroom experiences, I am not becoming familiar with the real world or learning valuable lessons outside of education, and it is not shaping me into the most well rounded person. Since many fall…

"Why do I even procrastinate?" I ask myself this question everyday. This is a problem in my everyday life. In fact, it 's a problem in most people 's lives. In my life i have heard many elderly folks comment "Those kids are so lazy, they procrastinate all the time" This comment is not only arrogant but it 's also false. People don 't realize that many teens hold a stable job while being a full time student. There are just some of us that don 't feel the need to do homework right when we are…

A1: Postive Social Interaction: I have come to the conclusion that the Mr. Collet’s homework policy is the most rewarding and beneficial policy out of those listed. This is a very similar approach I feel I will take when I begin to teach. In a classroom setting, it is very important to have a positive and engaging social interaction between the student and the teacher. Mr. Colett verbally explains his homework policy to all students at the beginning of the school year. Homework policies are…

In order to gather data onto the study, semi-structured interviews were conducted with elementary school teachers, parents and students. All participants were asked questions pertaining to homework to get a clear understanding of the benefits and/or impact on student success. Semi-structured interviews allowed for deviation from questions per the interviewer and explore the topic more in-depth (Houser, 2014, p. 235). The questions ask of the participants were both closed and open ended. Open…

As human beings dealing with everyday life can be stressful. Most people deal with their jobs, spouses, or siblings, and a plethora of other things that occur in this rollercoaster called life. A lot of stress for me comes from working with children and parents, as well as being a student full-time. I have found ways to battle my stress, though with work and being a student. Furthermore, working with children is a tough task. I always had a passion for working with children since I was a young…

The Horrors of English 101 Failing the first year of college seems inevitable. Everything is dependent upon it-a good career, a good future- the entire rest of life. The biggest fear for college freshmen is failing. Failure leads to dropping out, which in turn, leads to an unsuccessful life. For most students, the first year of college seems to be the hardest part of merging into the real world. This shock of going from an easy “paved” life in high school to college life can cause major problems…

Not to mention, after the loss of my grandma, keeping up on schoolwork proved even more difficult. Being that I’ve only…

Managing time is a key aspect of life. If not done properly, your life will be hectic, stressful and unproductive. As the book states, "Positive attitudes produce positive results. Negative attitudes produce negative results."(Raymond. 2013).Which in my opinion, means that as long as you try to balance your life in a positive way, you'll get positive results in your balancing. And as we all know, positivity and positive outcome are always a good thing in life, they will keep you going even when…

When I was at home doing schoolwork, I was never super motivated to do my schoolwork, which isn 't really abnormal for a kid. I would always only do the least amount of work possible for me to get by. I mean, what kid wouldn 't want to do the least possible, to have more time to play or hangout with friends? My parent’s philosophy in educating all of my siblings, myself included, was to help us find what we really enjoyed doing, and what we were naturally drawn towards and then help us focus in…
