Thoughts on College
Moving Out August 19th, 2018: It was move in day for college. So many emotions were rushing through me that day. I was so excited and nervous at the same time. I was happy to be moving out of my house. However, I was also sad to leave my family. Once I said my "see you laters" (I don’t like saying goodbye. It implies I’ll never see that person again) I sat in my room awkwardly. That day was the start of a new chapter. How exhilarating!
Why I Didn’t Go to College
From the beginning of everyone's life, adults ranging from parents to teachers have told kids of any generation that college is where they must go to have success in life and in their future. Every kid doesn't really think about college until they go to high school where they realize they have to do something before they graduate.

Bass Man EddiePublished 5 years ago in EducationEliminate Animal Dissection
From 170 different species, millions of these helpless creatures are being dissected in schools each year. The American Anti-Vivisection Society states, in one year, over 12 million animals are used in high schools alone. Some of the most commonly used animals are frogs, mice, rats, worms, cats, rabbits, baby pigs, dogs, and cows. Most schools and universities purchase these species when they’re already dead, but they were killed to be dissected. Many of these animals are purchased through slaughterhouses and fur farms, but animals like cats are purchased from "Class B" dealers who take animals from shelters or "free to good home" ads. In other countries, cats are purchased in Mexico, then killed by drowning or slitting their throats, then sent to the US. In some facilities, they put the frogs in bags while they're still alive, killing them by suffocation. Some rats are embalmed while they're still alive. This is animal torture and abuse. These animals are deprived from a real life and raised to do what? Be cut open for 30 minutes and then thrown away.

Good Morning, 2019!!! And good morning (or afternoon) to everyone who is taking the time to read this. I am a 63-year-old man named Maurice. I am also a schoolteacher who will soon be retired from this business. I have been in classrooms as a professional educator since September of 1978. Yes, that is a loooooooong time.

Mikkie MillsPublished 5 years ago in EducationSchool Counselors
I'll never understand judging one persons thoughts on being sad. We all get depressed. There's no judgment in that. So if we all get depressed sometimes, why do we get pushed into categories about how we should deal with it. I don't think the world should be like that. And I also think, in every single school, there should be a better counselor. I've had a real bad experience with that.

Kathleen BlancoPublished 5 years ago in EducationThe UK Medical Brain Drain?
Back in October 2016, an announcement was made by the Secretary of State for Health in the UK, Jeremy Hunt, that the longstanding shortfall in staffing issues within the NHS doctor workforce would be addressed, by increasing undergraduate medical school places, by an all-but unprecedented 25 percent. Indeed, Hunt was proposing not only the largest single increase in medical student numbers since the founding of the NHS—raising the total annual intake to 7,000 freshman undergraduates from September 2018, and up 1,500 from the current national figure, but also a move underpinned by an attempt to recompense/recoup some of the £230,000 expenses forked out in training each individual graduate medical doctor in England.
