Grades Closing: From the Teen’s View
November 14th, 2011 Posted by Jacob P. | Academics, Adolescence, Teen Perspective
Last Thursday, my high school's quarterly progress reports were released. Our school runs on a semester-based grading system, but grades are closed and progress reports are released at the end of the first and third quarters. This allows the parents and students to see how they are doing in each class and show what they will have to do to bring their grades up for the semester. So, I began to think about the importance of grades closing and what students must do keep their grades up.
Teen’s Perspective : Going Back to Homework
September 12th, 2011 Posted by Sam P. | Academics, Teen Perspective, Teens
It's 6 p.m., you just got back from football and you have tons of homework to do, but you just don't feel like doing it. Your bedtime is 10 p.m., you still have to eat and shower too. Time ticks by and suddenly it's 9:30 and that essay that you had to write still isn't done! You whip one up real quick before you go to bed. The next day the teacher grades it and gives you a D. You're normally a straight A-B student and you don't get why you got such a bad grade. Well, here's the
It's always scary moving up into a new school. Last year you were in 5th grade, the head honcho of the elementary school, but now you will be one of the little kids. It's always frightening, but you have to do it and every kid does. I am actually going to be starting high school next year and the whole idea is scary, especially since I am a 4'11" little girl. The thought of being with high schoolers next year is a little bit frightening. But for now I am still at the middle school.

Back to School Checklist
August 17th, 2011 Posted by Ronald A. Rowe | Academics, Elementary, Helpful hints
Here in Florida we’re just a week away from the start of the new school year. Some of you in the Great White North (anywhere north of Georgia) may have a little longer. But you can take a lesson from my last minute scrambling about what you’ve still got to get done.
Back to school Checklist:
• Morning Routine - If your children aren’t ‘morning people’, you should start getting them up a little earlier now. A minor hassle every day for the next week is a lot better than a major hassle the first morning of school.
• School Supplies –

Teen’s Perspective on Back to School
August 15th, 2011 Posted by Sam P. | Academics, Helpful hints, Teen Perspective
It's that time of year again! The time when kids groan when the word is even mentioned. School! Every kid is dreading it. In just a few short weeks you'll have to get back into the rhythm of waking up early to catch the bus, coming home with what seems like boat loads of school work. I should know, I'm dreading it too, but that doesn't mean that you can't make it any easier to get used to.
The trick to going back to school is -- about two weeks before school starts -- going to bed earlier and earlier
