6 Things to Prepare You for High School
Here's a list of things to help you prepare for high school. This advice is not always right. It comes from my own personal experience.
My Senior Quote + What I Learned in High School
It was one of the moments I had been waiting for the past four years of my high school career. It was finally time to pick out my senior quote from the yearbook. This was my time to shine and try and show everyone how witty and bright I was with only a line or two. It had to be something clever and something that represent my high school experience. "No pressure," I thought to myself as I looked down at the senior survey that Mr. Bonneville had handed out to everyone. In February, I had decided that for my quote, I was going to use “life’s short, talk fast,” from the early 2000s TV show Gilmore Girls.

Your job as an educator is to protect and teach the students in your class, including ones of color meaning—Latinos, Asians (generally from Asia), Native American students, and Black students.
The Safe Sex Talk They Should Have Given in School
I don’t know what you were taught in school or if you were taught anything at all, but even as a teenager I was extremely aware of how ridiculous sex education was. What is even more ridiculous is the fact that some schools don’t even discuss it or that they are even allowing calling the class sex education. While I might not condone minors engaging in sexual activity it does not change the fact that they do it with or without permission.
Ashlyn HarperPublished 6 years ago in EducationTaking Public Education for Granted
BRYCE ON EDUCATION Click for AUDIO VERSION. I want to talk a little on education. Some things have been bothering me. Today, we hear a lot of young people demanding a right to free higher education, or at the very least paying off their college debt. As I've said before, higher education should be treated as a privilege in this country, certainly not a right. So much is the push for college education, I believe the institution of America's public education system is under-appreciated. As I would remind everyone, we should be proud of our public education system. Could it stand improvement? Certainly, but that is only natural. You have to remember this institution ultimately represents our national personality and is the key to our future. As such, it should be prized and definitely not taken for granted.
Intelligence vs. Artificial Intelligence

Created by the College Board, a non-profit organization committed to preparing students for college, the SAT is required as an entrance to university to predict one's prospective University success through reading, writing, and mathematics.

Chapter Four The rest of the first month of school went by faster than usual, it seemed. There were a few times I walked to school without Ralfie. He would send me a text either the night before or the morning of saying that he had to be at the school early to get some practice in with the guys before first period. It felt weird walking up to the front lawn of the school by myself. The first couple of weeks Ralfie would usually meet us under tree, but lately his pre-practice practice would run all to the first bell that I didn’t see him until lunch. It was a good thing that the tree we all hung out under was close by. It minimized the amount of time people saw me walking alone.

High School: Junior Year (Chapter 3)
Chapter Three Being a junior in high school, it is sad to say that I have never been in a situation where a girl initiated the conversation first. 'Act cool,' I thought to myself. “Yes to all of the above,” I replied. That was cool right? That was what normal people said, right?

Madison RheamPublished 6 years ago in Education3 Careers That Are Best to Prepare for in High School
There are numerous career paths that require state examinations and a state license in order to practice. In many cases, the testing and requirements for licensure might be different from state to state. Additionally, many career paths require a college education or an advanced degree as an entry-level requirement to find work. This has resulted in a situation where many college degree programs have the specific goal of preparing their graduates to pass the examinations and obtain state licensure in the state where the conferring academic institution is located.
