Personally, I found all of his tips to be useful and accurate except the tip pertaining to school being held year round. I’ve attended public school my whole life and summer vacations have always been available and eagerly anticipated. A break is necessary and it’s a time rejuvenate and perhaps visit family and go on vacation. Enjoy activities you can’t necessarily do during the school year. Learning and extending your education shouldn’t and doesn’t have to stop during these breaks. One can take classes, read books, get a job, etc. All of which can better prepare you for the future. What I did agree with is his other four points. Tip number one discusses the need for a modernized course of study. Likewise, hiring teachers that will adjust their teaching styles to accommodate to the kid’s interest and needs. From personal experience I can see this being extremely helpful because when assigned books and readings that interest me I’m more willing and eager to comply. Tip number two talks about the use of technology in academics. He referenced Khan Academy which offers online math and science educational videos to students free of

Being a professional athlete in any sport is something that takes hard work and dedication. The National Basketball League is the home to hundreds of players that have come from high school, college, and even from across the world. In recent years, there has been a big debate on whether these players should go to college or not before going into the NBA. In the article, “The Case for Getting Schooled”, David Gardner says that all of these players should attend college before starting their careers in the National Basketball Association. Gardner’s claim that basketball players should first go to college is flawed because a player might be good enough already to go into the NBA right away, players will play with better talent in the NBA, and

(Gregory, 2020). This is another example of taking the time to help kids he may not even know succeed and have a fulfilling life. This is so influential because maybe those kids don’t have that person in life to help them, and for him to take on that role for hundreds of kids is amazing. In all, he has done so much for other people, and the community making a huge difference, and impact along the

Long breaks are stealing students ' knowledge right from their hands and making teachers precisely planned lessons go to waste. When students come back from long breaks, such as summer, they can’t even remember what math is. This is because having more of these long breaks gives pupils a lengthy span of time to do nothing. At the beginning of the summer students are so excited when they can finally put on their swimsuits and hang out with their friends. As the summer goes on they start to get bored of sitting at home.

Contrary to Mr. Arthur Radley, also known as Boo, being considered the mockingbird of the novel To Kill a Mockingbird by Harper Lee, it is Mr. Tom Robinson who is the true mockingbird of the novel. Atticus Finch says to his children, “Shoot all the bluejays you want, if you can hit 'em, but remember it's a sin to kill a mockingbird,” (Lee, p. 98). Atticus tells his children this because a mockingbird does not do any harm to you, but the mockingbird brings songs and joys, consequently is a sin if one were to take it away. Tom Robinson fits the role as the mockingbird that Atticus provides for his children. With this symbolism of Tom Robinson and a mockingbird in place, the use of symbolism in the novel is a literary masterpiece, with compelling and accurate relationships between characters, animals, and symbols.

Many people in America believe that education systems seem to be declining rather than improving. One of the solutions offered to combat the declining quality of education is year-round schooling; thereby allowing students to go to school for a shorter period of time in a year and have longer breaks between periods throughout the year as opposed to the more common type in which there are ten months of schooling and then a two-month summer break. I believe that all students should have a break where they can take the necessary amount of time allotted to relieve themselves from the stress of a busy schedule. Public schools should not have year-round schedules because they are ineffective, would lower student’s grades, and result in less time for students to relax and participate in extracurricular activities. Year-round schooling is a relic of the past, and it did not yield favorable results.

It has been my experience taking online courses that utilizing a program such as MindTap to support the textbook and professor’s instruction to be extremely beneficial. MindTap is a useful tool that reinforces the textbook with homework exercises and provides services to the student such as Net Tutor and Questia. I found using MindTap easy to use and navigate, all of the components are well labeled. The majority of the time learning a subject can be difficult without the use of visual examples. I especially liked the fact that a full copy of the textbook was available within the MindTap program and accessible at any time.

Traditional school schedules have kids in school from late summer until late spring, the year-round schedule has kids in school all year but the difference is there are longer breaks in the year-round schedule. It is time to switch from the traditional schedule to the year-round schedule because students learn better and don’t lose information over a long summer break, is more convenient for everyone and reduces the stress of school and makes it more enjoyable. To begin students under the current school schedule where there is one long break in the summer are more vulnerable to losing the information they have learned the past year. Summer break causes students to forget material that they have learned which causes problems because it wastes

Paul Anderson, a teacher at Roberta Bondar Public School in Canada, explained to the author how summer break had hurt the students, saying that “When he used to teach at a traditional school it would take three weeks of review after summer break before his students were ready to conquer new math concepts.” Some people may try to deny the amount of information students lose over the summer, but it is hard to do so when evidence of it is coming right out of a teacher’s mouth. Anderson says directly that such a long summer break hurts children academically. An obvious solution is to shorten the break by using the year round schooling

But we’ve seen big, innovative risks from Nintendo before, and they haven’t always panned out. Third-party support wasn’t exactly stellar on the Wii and Wii U, and Nintendo hasn’t always been gracious with its pricing for accessories (remember
