...This is when I went to my first day in middle school. I was so scared that didn’t even want to go to school. When we got school we went to the cafeteria. The principal assign all our classes. First, I went to my 1st hour class. My 1st class was science. My science teacher’s name is Mrs. Hamblin. ’’Welcome to Beer Middle School,’’ our teacher said with excitement , ’’in this class we are going to do fun experiment.’’ Mrs. Hamblin started to assign seats. I had no problem with I will I be sitting. Next, until 1st hour was finished we went to our 2nd hour. I was confused where I was going. I really did not see all my classes. So, I asked some of the other teachers for help. ’’Excuse me, at any chance do you know where room 208 is?’’ I asked politely. ’’Go down, turn, keep on walking forward, and turn at the end to the left.’’ The teacher replied. It was so weird of all the twist and turns. Then, I finally found the room. I went in my next class, which is S.S. (Social Studies)....

...First off, People change. The person you knew in middle school many become a completely different person, and you yourself will change because in the first year of high school, many people mature. This may mean, you and your best friend of five or more years may suddenly stop making contact. This is not something to be afraid of. Change is simply the sign that you are growing up and becoming who you truly are. Many people remain friends throughout the four years here, but be aware and prepared. On your journey of changing, you will also meet new people. This is normal; Do not close yourself off from the rest of the high school population because you’re afraid of losing friends; You may meet a stellar person. For example, when I was a freshman, my best friend of six years decided to make new friends. The two of us were peas in a pod, but she essentially forgot about me that year. We are still friends to this day, but we are not as close. Meeting new people and expanding your friend group is okay, and if your old friends are okay with it, drag them along on your new escapades as a high school student....

...Donna Shirley Middle School Principal Johnston Elementary School Woodstock, GA 55555 June 12, 2011 Robert and Deborah Roebuck 1594 Hendon Road Woodstock, GA 55555 Dear Mr. and Mrs. Roebuck, (Colon) I appreciate your concern for your daughter, Hillary, pertaining to her school performance and recent behaviors. I’d like to arrange an informal meeting with you and your husband, including Hillary's teacher. Once our meeting is over, we could bring Hillary in to let her know the findings of our meeting. In our meeting, I would like to review and discuss some of the concerns I have based from (on) your letter. It seems that Hillary has many responsibilities at home and combined with her schoolwork it might be too much for her to handle. In addition, it would be beneficial to discuss Hillary's behavior in class, her rapport with her teachers and her rapport with her classmates. From your letter, it seems that teaching as a career follows your family background. I would like to see if you have any suggestions or experiences that, you might have so that we could incorporate those ideas with Hillary. I am open to suggestions from you; (comma) I want to see Hillary succeed as a student at Johnston Elementary and her future as a student. (unclear) As for the warning that Hillary received about detention, we have an Uncompleted Homework guideline that both the students and teachers need to follow. When the student reaches three missed assignments, a warning is issued...

...“Good Morning Maggie Walker, today is September 9, 2014. Please stand for the Pledge of Allegiance.” Attentively listening to the bright orotund female voice permeate through the school referencing bountiful opportunities that would give any freshmen goosebumps. Abruptly before the female finished her last sentence, a short corpulent Caucasian man entered the room. Staring at my notebook, I noticed he spoke with a rather raucous voice, “Welcome! Here is a map of China with fifty terms. You will have your first geography test on Friday, points will be deducted for spelling.” Mesmerized by the courseload, all I could think of was the clock’s tick echoing behind me reminding me of every second in the eighty-minute class. My only thought, “What have I gotten myself into?” My home district originally provided the verdict that they could not financially afford to send a student to Maggie Walker, however I was told the day before school started that I would be in attendance. I entered Maggie Walker...

...Dedicated to all the people that get bullied along with struggling with Autism and other emotional problems. Personal Note from the Authors: “It’s okay to stand out, just be yourself and the problems you encounter will be easier to handle” I¬¬¬¬¬¬t was Charlies first day of school at Cross Roads Elementary. His mom walked him into his classroom and there sat all of his 3rd grade classmates. Charlie’s mom talked to the teacher and then kissed Charlie goodbye and said “Good Luck, I’ll see you this afternoon”. Then Charlie took his book bag off and sat down in his chair. Last year Charlie’s teacher was very understanding of his autism, and helped him with a lot of things in and out of school. He was afraid Mrs. Brown, his new 3rd grade teacher wouldn’t understand him and the...

...1. Hi! First year in Science Olympiad... Any event you found really fun? I really want to get off to a good start :) cecaayyy Hi!!! Haha welcome to science olympiad! Hmmm well if it’s your first year I would definitely try different things even if they’re out of your comfort zone. A mistake a lot of my friends make their first year of scioly is picking events that are related to the classes they’ve taken in school. This might seem like a good idea, but it really doesn’t give you as much of an advantage as you would expect because the scioly tests are college level material and beyond. To be honest, every event is challenging so you’re best off picking an event you’re genuinely interested in. If I could go back to my first year of high school scioly knowing what I know now I’d pick disease detectives and thermodynamics. I did disease detectives this year and in middle school and LOVED IT. You need to study specified diseases and how they spread and other miscellaneous stuff. If you like puzzles and making inferences then you should definitely try it out. It’s interesting since it’s more problem solving/mystery than memorizing facts plus if you’re actually interested in the material the test is super easy. The test gives you some scenarios of a disease outbreak and you need to answer questions based on making inferences from the background they give you and miscellaneous stuff about terminology. Thermodynamics is a building event with a test. It might help to have a little...

...Eighth grade, training for high school. Seventh grade, preparing to prepare for high school. Even though seventh grade might not seem like the most important year, it plays a huge roll in your academic career. The way you do in seventh grade is setting the scene for your eighth grade year, and your eighth grade year -good or bad- sets the scene for all of high school and everything snowballs from there. This seventh grade year has been the best year of school for me so far. I have pulled up good grades and I have looked at a college, but my favorite moment from this year was the Outdoor Survival trip. This is my favorite memory because it was just so interesting to climb to the tallest point of Mt. Lassen. After we climbed down from that hike, we went on ANOTHER hike. This other hike was called the Bumpass Hell trail. The Bumpass Hell trail lead us on an adventure through an active geyser field (it smelled so bad it would make you stomach churn), a beautiful mountain view platform, and a running spring. Finally after we returned to camp after a long day (it was only 4:00 p.m. at this time), a friend and I went fishing at the lake. Now this lake was not the best for fishing because it was extremely shallow at the edges and deep in the middle. But both of us caught decent sized fish....

...Memoir “Welcome to 6th grade!” where the first words I heard when walking into my first day of school at Sunrise Middle School. Once I walked inside, I didn't exactly feel a connection with anyone in my classroom and didn’t know anyone there. I was dressed in a new uniform and felt as if I was a different and improved person. This class wasn’t going to have me for long though. I was still part of the Parrots, but just moved to the other classroom to a teacher who knew me. She was my brother’s old teacher and now she became mine. The first week turned out to go by really quick. The next week was when it started to go down. It was the point where the school year got serious and took a new turn on me. I hadn’t done work like this in Elementary...

...------------------------------------------------- College History... Ladies College Colombo was founded as a self supporting institution in 1900 by Liiian Nixon from Ireland and Ms Elizabeth Whitney from Canada at the behest of the Church Missionary Society. The history of the school is woven round the seven principals of the college who were responsible for its founding, expansion and ethos. There is no doubt it was due to their Christian faith and commitment that Ladies College grew from a rented bungalow in Slave Island with two students to what it is today... Quoting Ladies' College 1900-2000 Several issues fascinated us. …… How a Christian Missionary school like Ladies’ College, established in 1900 within a colonial ethos, adapted itself to the social, cultural, and economic changes that were ushered in with independence in 1947? How did the school come to terms with the subsequent shifts in educational policy by successive governments especially during the second half of the last century? How did the school cope with such dramatic changes and do so while still remaining geared to the national system of education? How did Ladies’ College not only survive for a period of a hundred years, but grow from strength to strength? Lilian Nixon BA Cert. Ed Principal (1900 - 1914). | At Ladies' College Cheltenham Lilian Nixon came under the influence of its famous Principal Dorothea Beale who brought to the realm of women’s education a vision and determination that had...

...CHAPTER ONE INTRODUCTION Background to the Study Education is the key that unlocks the door to development. Ghana as a developing country has never relented in her efforts to draw up educational programmes to meet the changing demands, needs and aspirations of her citizens as well as the nation as a whole since independence in 1957. The first initiative in education taken by Dr. Kwame Nkrumah was the Associated Development Plan that aimed at ensuring that every child of school going age (i.e. 6 years) receives fee free basic education. Education was therefore seen as a process of helping an individual to develop his abilities, interests potentialities and talents to the optimum so as to be useful to himself or herself and the nation as a whole. As the individuals develop fully their cognitive, affective and psychomotor skills and contribute meaningfully towards the development of the nation, then it can be confirmed that the assertion is true. In September 1987, the Peoples’ National Defence Congress (PNDC) government implemented the New Educational Reforms Programme with the ultimate aim of eradicating the defects in the old educational system. The main objectives of the Reform among other things include: 1. To reduce the period of basic education to 9 years (primary 6 JHS – 3 year). 2. To raise the quality of basic education to give all children some secondary education. 3. To encourage practical programmes which lead to the acquisition of skills for...
