The END

So yes, this is my last post in Journalism about Education.  I hope you all enjoyed the information i collected for you and i also hope that you use that information towards your education. Education is an important fact in our lives, and there are so many ways you can tackle your education experience, whether its in middle school, high school or college. Always remember that education, primally learning never stops. So make the best of your education, try new things and make new memories. In my journalism i have learned so much about different topics. One of my most favorite thing that i learned in this class is how to write a profile paper. The whole process is just exciting. Journalism is something that i will possibly look towards in the future! I hope everyone has had just as an exciting learning experince as i have! Good luck <3

ACT Practice Value.

ACT PRACTICE DAY.

On Tuesday, January 8, Wyoming High School took the whole day to prep under class men to take the practice ACT. The practice ACT includes students going to classrooms they will eventually test in. Also the teachers mimic the real ACT test taking so students can experience the test before they take the actual test. Me and a junior at Wyoming High talked about his experience while taking the ACT. I asked him how he did, and he replied "It was alright. I got an 18" and i told him that, that wasn't bad at all, he told that "[he] was trying to get a 21 though and that [he] kinda felt rushed on the science part. Since i have already took the ACT a few times myself i gave him some advice and told him to do the graphs first, since they are pretty direct and fast to read. He was thankful for the advice and told me that he "would keep that in mind next time". I think that the whole ACT practice day is beneficial to students because that way, they can see where they stand and they can see which subjects they need improvement on.

New Year, New Education Plan

Education PlansThe Obama administration has big plans for education for the year 2013. The plan will greatly "help rebuild the economy". The U.S Secretary mentioned how "if we want to strengthen the American workforce, we must continue to invest in education". Obama plans on proposing a 14 billion one time strategic in areas such as "education programs with workforce demands , raising the teaching profession and increasing college affordability and quality. There needs to be more programs that will give students specific skills that prepares them for high skill jobs that employers are looking for. The department is willing to propose an investment of 1.1 billion to support training programs with workforce demands. Mainly the teachers will receive the respect they deserve, since they are the ones who will help students be prepared to offer them work that will be college affordability and quality.

Should Schools Ban Junk Food?

Credits

Banning junk food is one of the most controversial arguements in Education debates.Some people argue that "school is where children spend most of their time and it is where we lay the foundation of eating habits". Some argue that "[banning] junk food does not teach young people how to make healthy choices; it simply removes some of their options. Both sides make a good point of schools teaching students responsibility about eating junk food. However as the obseity rates continue to rise, i personally think that schools should take action to prevent students from eventually having health related problems. What do you think ?

Highschool Graduations Rises In the U.S

The Graduations rates in the United States have been rising.The Graduation rate increased to "75 percent [from] 72 percent". This has caused the dropouts to decrease as well, "the percent of students [who] don't graduate on time fell from 2,007 in 2002 to 1,1550 in 2010".Drop outs in high school, however are still a big matter. They still affect the United States economy in a negative way. Researchers also found that graduation rate vary in races, with "91.8 percent of Asian Americans, 82 percent of Whites,65.9 of Hispanics and 63.5 of blacks graduating on time. However some areas in the U.S are still not seeing any improvements on the graduations rates and drop out rates, so teachers have came up with a strategy to work more with those group of kids who are most likely to drop out. On average, "high school graduates earn $130,000 more over their life times,compared with peers who drop out of high school, according to a study. And also, a study shows that "transforming just one student to a high school graduate will yield more than $200,000 in higher tax revenue and savings for the government".
