Yesterday I read the post of my nephew who is a college professor in a state university. Students in that university are scholars who do not pay the expensive tuition fee for the high standard of education. My nephew’s post is about the kind of students that he has in the classroom who are...

I have posted another thread with a similar topic about drugs and I guess this is becoming a big problem in schools. The mention of peer pressure is very possible especially for high school students because they are in the age when they feel that they need to prove themselves on something. Maybe...

You are right with the strengthening of the identity that the student will have a feeling of belonging to a group (which is the school). One friend teacher said that if the student do not wear the uniform then that is like he is ashamed of his school. I have to agree to that thinking because in...

I agree that there are extreme tattoos and artistic tattoos but I don’t think the school should allow any kind of tattoo. As you said it is a trend and what happens when the trend changes and is back to the clean complexion? That happened so many times when the trend would suddenly change...

This event is one big deal for students so all schools should observe or celebrate this occasion. It is the opportunity of the students to have a better bonding not only with the classmates but also with the school mates and faculty members. Most of the school fair here are held for 2 days or...

There is an ongoing debate here about teaching sex education to high school students. The aim of the proposal is to teach the young adults to practice safe sex and also to avoid getting pregnant at that early age. Some parents say that sex education is like teaching the students how to have sex...

So many have died because of the hazing of fraternities. One recent case was the killing of a college student who is into law school. The parents couldn’t move on and they were always in the news in trying to find the culprits. After a month of investigation the police were able to capture the 8...

This is a common problem with students because there was a study that more than half of the class do not want to recite in the first week of classes. Fortunately the number goes down as the weeks pass which means the students were just trying to acclimatize themselves with the classroom. Perhaps...

When you say teaching aids that would involve a variety like visual aids, audio aids, play-acting and even actual examples. One of the most effective teaching aids is the immersion where the students not only see and hear but also feel what the lesson is all about. One example is the laboratory...

I’m sure most of us here have attended the prom or the ball during high school. It’s just sad that I was not able to experience that because I was in an all-girls school from grade school to high school. It looked exciting to attend a party with the boys of my age. Parents and teachers should be...

It’s definitely a hard task for the teacher when it comes to assessing the progress of the students. Only a fair and square exam can do that but I’d say it is not accurate. It also depends on the condition of the student like if he lacked sleep or is hungry then his mental capacity will not be...

This reminds me of some classmates in high school who were cheating in exams. They would have small slips of paper in conspicuous places like the garter of the panty or at the hem of the skirt. The slip of paper contains mnemonics to help them remember. An example is the world history question...

I understand the tough part for students to undergo a recitation. I was one those shy students who avoid reciting even if I knew the answer to the teacher’s question. However the graded recitation is one means of forcing us to recite and eventually we would overcome the fear of speaking in...

It is actually called agri-tourism where the field trip is to the farm. Students would see the actual planting and harvesting of food from the farm. This immersion trip is for the purpose of learning the quality and value of the food from the farm. Health is getting to be a priority in the...

That’s my point – comics make the reader happy which means there will be interest on the part of the readers particularly the young readers who have difficulty in reading. I have seen my nephews and nieces make big progress in reading the comics because they enjoy reading it which is opposite...

Our school had a small campus and the only other subjects we have aside from academics are Physical Education and Home Economics. It would be great if we had a gardening subject especially now that environment and ecology are into our consciousness. Children should be taught the value of...

If the teacher knows about the love affair of the students I guess the teacher should inform the parents otherwise the responsibility will be on the shoulders of the teacher and that would put him on a big disadvantage. Think if the female student gets pregnant? Or what if one student commits...

That is the idea why the teacher has to talk to the parents because the parents have the right to know what is happening to their child in school. Talking to the student will give you information but it may not be the means to resolve the problem. Making it worse is if the student is fooling...

It is sad to see the news report on tv about the high school students who were arrested for peddling marijuana to the students inside the school. That incident is a big blow to the educational system that gives an impression of laxity. If a student can bring in marijuana inside the campus then...

I agree that not all students are capable of undergoing military training but there are other positions that can be available for them like being a quartermaster who handles the logistics in the office or medic personnel who stays in the clinic. Maybe this military training in school is a hot...
