These are the classes I'm taking during this semester!
At school, we are allowed to make our own decisions. We are free to select the subjects we want to study. You can choose something else instead of a certain subject, such as music, painting, or physical education. You can join groups and meet others who share your interests through them.
We have a fantastic atmosphere to grow up in thanks to school. When I leave school, I will really miss it.
Children raise pertinent inquiries about issues that are important to them. Students who can employ their newly acquired skills in real life find their development to be worthwhile and beneficial.
At school I get to enjoy and environment surrounded with friends and can learn new material every day. My teachers are nice and understanding so It makes the learning process fun. I can't wait to wake up at 7am everyday to go to school! And then when I get home from school I can do another 2 hours of homework because the first seven wernt enough!
Extracurricular activities are positively connected with attendance, GPA, test scores, and educational aspirations, according to a study from California State University, Sacramento. Schools frequently apply the same findings to applicants, despite the fact that this study focuses on college students. The idea is that students who participate in extracurricular activities will contribute more positively to their campus communities.
Colleges look for applicants with a history of leadership. Leadership can show that you are dedicated to your goals and interests and that you have what it takes to contribute to the school community once you get there. Eagle Scout, Gold Award, editor of the school newspaper, captain of a sports team, and seats on the student council are a few examples of leadership. If a certain activity truly appeals to you, you might want to explore running for leadership roles in it. You can advance personally, which might help your college application.
Admissions offices prefer to see prospective students participating in sports. Participating in team sports can demonstrate a readiness to cooperate with others and strive toward an objective beyond individual success. Participating in a club or school sport can show motivation, dedication, and time-management abilities. Athletes can frequently continue participating in their favorite activities to some extent once they get on campus because most institutions offer intramural, club, and varsity sports.
Activities that require artistic and creative expression, such as painting, drawing, sculpting, graphic design, fashion design, theater, music, and dance, can highlight your capacity for imaginative thought and creation. Therefore, universities like seeing these activities on the applications of prospective pupils. Collaboration, coordination, and dedication to a wider objective are skills that are required for dancing, acting, and playing in bands, all of which may help you persuade admissions committees that you'll fit in well with their communities.
Finally, there isn't a scrap of evidence to back up the conventional idea that homework has non-academic benefits at any age, such as character building, self-discipline, or the development of excellent work habits. We are all aware of the drawbacks of homework, including the stress and tiredness it may cause, the arguments it can cause in families, the time it takes up that could be spent doing other things, and the potential decline in students' motivation in studying. However, the obstinate conviction that everything must be worthwhile and that the benefits must outweigh the costs is based more on faith than on fact.
Why then are homework assignments and acceptance still made? Possible explanations include a lack of respect for research, a lack of respect for kids (implicit in the desire to occupy them after school), a lack of comprehension of the nature of learning (implicit in the emphasis on mastering skills and the claim that homework "reinforces" lessons), or top-down pressures to teach more material more quickly in order to boost test scores so we can shout, "We're number one!"
All of these theories are reasonable, but I believe there is another factor at play in why we still give children modern cod liver oil. Because we don't ask difficult questions about most things, we don't ask difficult questions about assignments either.
When we disagree with a practice or policy, we are urged to pay attention to the incidental elements of what is happening and to inquire about the specifics of implementation, such as how something will be done, by whom, or when, rather than whether it should be done at all. The major issues—the overall structures and underlying premises—are strengthened the more we pay attention to subsidiary matters. We are directed to steer clear of the radical inquiries, and I use that adverb in its original sense: The Latin word for "root" is radical. The weed keeps spreading in part because we occupy our time worrying about the tendrils.
