A small high school with a college-like set up would provide an improved learning environment for many students. A small school would provide more one on one time for students and less of the clique behavior mentioned in Leon Botstein's "Let Teenagers Try Adulthood." A more college like set up with longer classes meeting fewer times a week, rather than 7 hour days spent in a single building five times a week, would also address the main issue mentioned in Botstein's essay. Older students would find the freedom they crave, instead of being treated like children, they would find the time to invent themselves and learn to take on the responsibilities of adults, being held accountable for their work and attendance. The combination of smaller and fewer classes would allow students to take the time they need to really learn a topic and seek the…

In a small classroom lack of attendance effects learning. The teacher will not be able to teach lessons effectively if he or she has planned a lesson for twenty students and six…
As a student, I deeply realize the importance of education. When I was in high school, I witnessed many of my friends not able to join colleges due to their inability to raise the required fees. The amount of money generated at their respective homes was not enough to cater for their basic needs as well as tuition fees. In most schools, there are inadequate educational resources. Due to this limitation regarding resources, the classes are always crowded (Jillson 21). The ratio of teachers to students is high leading to some students not getting enough attention from the teachers. There is a need for smaller classes to improve the student-teacher ratio. This necessitates equipping the schools with the essential tools that are lacking. This can improve the grades scored by the…
Being born into America as a lower class citizen, there are many obstacles that you are going to be stuck with. One of the obstacles that you are forced to face is money issues. Most time the poor cannot pay for the things they will need for school. If you needed to buy books for class you would not have the money for it, since you cannot buy books for class you are limited in how much you learn. Another obstacle that is hard to get away from is the stress and how many lives it has consumed. People believe stress is the reason why part of the United…
streets and grades rising also they believe that will increase the number of students graduating. However there are believers who think that will take an whole on students who work and by the time students get out of school they will be worn out. During the longer school day teachers will need to find lesson that motivates students to do that work and find a way how they can relate what they are teaching to student’s lives. A longer school day will put mostly pressure on teachers because they have to stay after longer an most teachers have families to take care and pick up throughout the day an that might mess up their schedule with their families and love ones. In order to make the longer school day effective and not increase the dropout rate teachers and administration would have to make learning more interesting that students will really enjoy coming to school to learn and come to school every day.…
According to an Oregon teacher in District 4J, his class sizes are becoming larger and students are getting fewer selections for electives. Larger class sizes make it harder for the teacher to instruct and for students to learn. It will become easier for students to become distracted, as well as cheat. They will become irritable and not want to learn. Whoever is teaching the class may become frustrated, hindering them from teaching to the highest of expectations. Students won’t be performing as well causing test grades and GPA’s…
I feel that that this is a very serious issue because the abundance of teachers is requiring classrooms to become too full and chaotic, making it harder for teachers to teach and for children to learn. The children in these classrooms…
My Armenian-born parents are a clear representation of the promise of equal opportunity and spirit of freedom that the United States is meant to embody. As refugees of World War I, my family came to America in pursuit of liberty with their kinship and industriousness as their “only” resources. Today, my parents own 100% of their home on WaiKiki Beach in Hawaii, and paid for my tuition at the same private school President Obama attended. Their success story is a great testimony to US idealism, and its departure from the rigid class system of the Old World.…
Moreover, having students stay in school for more days can help the school meet its needs. A better explanation would be schools would have no problems, economically. To prove the point, students buy snacks, lunch, parking, and materials. Students don't realize how much they help the school pay its bills such as diesel, supplies, and utility payments. Having a four day school week can increase the…
Bigger college campuses have larger classes, which many times employ famous professors who have written books, or become celebrated in academic circles, unfortunately they lecture to hundreds of students at a time, so the one-on-one relationship with the student and professor does not develop like they do at smaller campuses. Smaller classes are designed for more student- teacher interaction, which benefits the…

If the classes were shorter it would make it harder for the teacher to teach the students somethings that they need to know and makes the class fall behind in work. When you have longer class periods you can learn more about the subject and you well not fall behind because you could finish the work in class or at home and turn it in the next day. When the classes are longer it will give you time at the end of class to finish some other work from a different class that is do the next class. Since the classes are longer you won’t need a study hall for the eighth class, because you can finish the work at the end of class or during your lunch…
