School

I have to write a comparative/contrast essay on homeschool vs. public school. I was just wondering if I could get some imput on the subject. I have a friend who homeschools her children and so I got a statement from her, but of course, she is pro-homeschool. I have several differences. How are they alike?

they’re not much alike.The home school child misses out on so much.
Like socialisation with peers. Learning how social relationships work in the everyday world. Learning to get along with a variety of people – even those you don’t like.
Exposure to different teaching and learning styles. Exposure to different personality and behavioural types.
Life in the wider world.

They just miss out on so much.

I can see for some children home school is the only option. But these cases are rare. Home-schooled children are missing out on so many experiences – in my opinion.

I want to be an English or a Media teacher at Secondary school but I don’t know what I need to do at University to do that. Can anyone help?

So long as you have an A level in English and/or Media Studies, you can do what you want at university. Sure, an English degree is the obvious decision, but you don’t have to; I have a friend who is a Religious Studies teacher, and he didn’t do that at uni, he did politics.

Once you’ve got a degree in whichever subject you choose, you either need to do a PGCE course, which normally lasts one year and gives you Qualified Teacher Status, or you can join the Graduate Teacher Programme, where you start teaching straight away and get training as you work.

Hope this helps

I really would like to be a primary school teacher for the grades preschool – 1st grade how many years would i have to go to college for and what are the best colleges to go to?
Thank you.

4 year degree. LOTS of great colleges for Elementary Education. I would start your search with the colleges nearest your home.

Okay I’m going to a boarding school next year. And I want to seem really interested and really into he school and I need to ask some questions about the school so I won’t be rude. I can’t exactly come up with any questions, so I’m hoping you can help me come up with some good questions to ask, so they will like me and I will get into the school.

May I ask what school? Most U.S. boarding schools don’t make admissions decisions until March 10, so I was just wondering how you could be absolutely sure.

Be yourself when talking, they’ll probably ask you more questions than you’ll need to ask them. But, given the chance, ask if the things you are passionate about are available to you at the school, what the general morale is of the students, what you do for fun, how many day vs. boarding students, what foreign languages they offer, etc.

Hope I helped!

Which is more desirable? Also on average, how many hours per week do principals work? Lastly, can you become a principal if you start out as a school counselor or do only teachers become administrators? Thanks. I am looking at getting a masters in elementary school counseling and down the road I may get a 2nd masters in education administration.

not sure you have the academics, certain you don’t have the experience….
my high school principal had a doctorate, as did most of my high school teachers..

I am in high school, and I would like to start taking the classes I would ned in order to become a good vet. Can you please help me out with finding what classes I need to take?

What courses should I take in high school?

Take all college preparatory courses in all major subjects especially, biology, chemistry, physics, calculus, trigonometry, statistics, environmental/earth science and English. Also important are computer science, history and languages. Take all at the highest level your high school offers. New York State students should earn a NYS Regents Diploma.

Ok, I need a middle school guy to answer this. What do you guys notice in a girl, what are specific reasons you would have a crush on a girl, and what makes you want to ask a girl out? I just want to know.

Smiling, happy + gd looks girls + sweet voice makes boys go crazy. then maybe wear some clothes tt show ur legs and part of arms, i’ll like tt lol. gd grades r a plus they’ll get hard-ons and keep looking at u, and turn away when u look at them. and when they’re beside u, they’ll appear nervous(very obvious) and smile/laugh uncontrollably

I want to teach art in secondary schools, but I have heard a lot about how the NCLB has cut it out of middle and elementary schools and cut back significantly in high school. This is depressing to hear as I REALLY want to be an art teacher, preferably high school.

With Obama as president, are their going to be any changes with arts education? Or is one day, the arts going to be cut out of secondary schools forever?

Yes, that part of education is being greatly cut. Students who are artistically inclined, like myself, are being completely denied.

As for President Obama, he’s not by himself, and there are other things that he has put on his agenda BEFORE education – econ., war, etc. So you’ll just need patience.

in the meantime, I suggest you teach at a democratic school or Sudbury Valley model school. You are free to teach whatever you wish to eager and willing students.

I really want to go to a Quaker School in the area. I don’t have that many friends and my problem is that i come off snobby because i have so many clothes and so many are designer. I really want to go to private school where i’ll fit in. What are some good things to say to my parents to get them to like private school? (money is not an issue, my parents love for me to go to school with a lot of jewish people)

I go to a Quaker school, and its great. Everyone is different and unique, but were all really great friends. Quakers believe in simplicity, peace, integrity, community, and equality — everyone is accepted, and in my opinion it’s a much nicer environment compared to other schools. Tell your parents that you think you’d be a better student at a private or independent school, and that you feel you aren’t doing the best you can at your current school.
Hope this helped!!! Vote me best answer!!
