I hate my 8:00 AM class because of the terrible traffic and lack of good marking spaces. It is impossible to be on time when literally everyone goes to work or school at the exact same hour and using the same highway. 1. I did not change my style because I am very casual and to the point when writing on Facebook. No one would want to read a whole lot anyway so it is best to keep it short. 2. It was easy because I simply said what was on my mind the same way I do on social media and I actually do have this problem in the morning. 3. Nothing concerned me because I realize that this is one of the most common issues for students and if they read it they could relate easily. 4. I am comfortable with this style of writing because I am use to it. …show more content…
The most frequent reason students have problems with classes as early as 8:00 AM is due to the traffic that pose problems. The bridge located on Highway 501 is notorious for heavy traffic and accidents. The real culprit is the fact that nearly all businesses and other schools open at 8:00 AM, thus causing traffic on the main highway. Many students who students who live only ten minutes away must leave an hour early to be at least five minutes early. Though there are no real solutions to the traffic, I ask that we allow closer parking to buildings again, at least in the mornings, to allow students extra time to get to class instead of using only student parking, which can take up to eight minutes of walking to arrive to …show more content…
I kept the writing style that I use for more formal writing, although I had to tweak it a bit as this was not me simply writing down my direct thoughts from my head. 2. It was slightly difficult as it was a stretch from the other two pieces. I also felt I could not make it personal to me the way I did before because I doubt the administrators would look at my individual problem above other ones and the problem is the lack of closeness and familiarity I felt from before. I am more honest to myself in the first two pieces. 3. The only thing that concerned me is their lack of understanding. They have no idea who I am, and I don’t know if they could relate to this issue or not. I feel that they would look at the first few lines, decide it was a waste of time and turn it away. Their coworkers, spouses, and children would be better candidates to talk about this with them because then all formality is gone and they will probably speak more

Parking on Campus is a Pain New students entering Concordia College are not permitted to have a car on campus. With each new freshman class entering every year, parking represents an issue. Concordia is as of now constrained in its parking on campus and since first year students are not permitted to have cars, the students are confronted with the problem of having no place to park or parking very a long way from their goal. There are parking issues everywhere throughout the campus, making backups in residence hall and other lots, bringing about students parking illegally to avoid from walking far distances, which can be very aggravating in the bitter cold. Parking nearer appears like the reasonable thing to do, however it is a hazard, which
When the bell rings for students to go home the quiet and serene field of asphalt in front of school becomes a sinkhole and everyone is fighting to get out. Most school parking lots are accessible, safe, and orderly; the Hinckley-Big Rock High School parking lot is an accident waiting to happen. With so many problems, a slight redesign of the schools main parking lot would seem practical.
While the push for later school start times has many supporters, some fail to believe that the positive benefits outweigh the negative. Beginning school later in the morning requires a shift in the schedule as a whole—causing teachers, coaches, bus drivers, and parents to drastically shift their schedules as well (Editorial). A shift in the schedule would cause financial complications for school districts. For instance, extra transportation services may be needed to accommodate a shift in the schedule (Editorial). Some school districts remain reluctant to change start times, despite the mental and physical evidence that supports the benefits of later classes.
Personally, I cannot identify my exact writing style. I do write with clear, concise, fluidity; however, I have no sense of “personal style.” I construct each written assignment with the intention of being blunt and supporting my assertions with facts and details that will strengthen my argument. After reading Ch. 1 “The Transaction” I agree with that Zinsser proposes: my writing reflects who I am as a person (5). I am blunt and to the point. I get tasks done in the most efficient way. Maybe my personality does come through in my writing more than I thought.
Out of 18,000 public schools, the average start time of school is 7:59 am. Out of these 18,000 schools, 1,000 of them have pushed back start times. A big reason more schools have not pushed back start times is transportation. It is difficult to run bus schedules to accommodate everyone’s schedule. Schools with large districts reuse the same buses to save money, but this means one age group will get picked up early and another age group will be picked up later.
One must remember that writing style is not something that just happens, but rather something that is developed. With the help of guides like Elements of Style, or books like Style Toward Clarity and Grace, one can begin to develop one.
We are all too familiar with that dreadful screech of the alarm clock in the morning but for high school students across America the rooster crows at a ridiculous hour. High school students groggily stumble out of bed only to underperform academically due to a severe lack of sleep. In my case, particularly, I had to be present in my first class promptly at 7:24 AM. For many in similar situations to myself this means waking up at 6 AM just to have time to get prepared for a treacherous day of school running on abysmal hours of sleep. Brookwood High School needs to reevaluate their schedules and push back the beginning of the school day no earlier than 8:30 AM.
College students have to balance work, family, and college activists and any delaying behavior from within can cause an unbalance. This behavior is called procrastinating and it can lead to problems in many areas of a student’s life. College students are the worst hit by this type of behavior because they have many different activities to focus on instead of studying. These activities can cause students to study when they have time which often is usually too short amount of time. There is a time and place to relax and enjoy life, but if students focus on playing around instead of getting their assignments done, college life will be stressful.
“Some of the most congested roadways in Utah, for 20 minutes twice a day during the school year, are the parking lots at your local schools” (Deseret News). A congested parking lot filled with inexperienced high school student drivers is not a good situation, especially during the winter months. This situation is especially scary when students at Springville High School have to attempt to park between the lines without actually being able to see them. It’s harder than it seems. You would think that after parking there for a while you would have an idea of where the lines are and where you usually park. However, once the lines are covered by the snow, the parking lot becomes a jumbled up mess and nobody has any idea what they are doing.
Parking on campus needs improving. Students entering the university are allowed to have a car on campus. With every new freshmen class entering parking posses a problem on campus. The campus is already limited in its parking on campus and since freshmen are allowed to have cars, the students before them are faced with the dilemma of how many new freshmen will be bringing a car to school.
This would make more space for parking and the students wouldn't have to park so far away from each other. A concrete parking lot would be a more convenient and easier way to park. Students would have lines to park in between, so they wouldn't have to park so far away from each other anymore. This would create more parking spaces for the west residents to park in. This wouldn’t be the best solution, because it would be very expensive to pour concrete. This would also mean that this part of the parking lot would close for a while and students would have an even harder time trying to find a parking
Don't you hate waking up early for school in the morning? Most high school students wake up before the sun rises just to become ready for school. Teenage brains do not begin to function that early considering many are tired from staying up late the previous night. The National Sleep Foundation reported that most teens do not retain enough shuteye, one study found that only 15% reported sleeping eight 1/2 hours on school nights. That fact was extremely true for me when I attended high school. I barely was able to wake up, get dressed, and be in school on time since I was so tired. In my opinion school days should start later, precisely in between 9- 10 o'clock. If the school day started later attendance would improve, students will be more prepared, and student's attitudes and grades may improve.
When students get back to school after going home for the weekend, their biggest worry is not being able to find a parking spot. Especially when they have only a few minutes to get to their first class and the parking lot is to capacity. Nobody wants to start out their week with a parking ticket, so they spend a lot of their time circling the parking lot just hoping that they will either catch someone backing out or they find a parking spot that is hidden between all of the cars that are spaciously parked on the gravel.
Attendance is a crucial aspect of a student’s education. When a student is tardy or absent, this interferes with them receiving the information given in class. Class introductions that include instructions, objectives, due dates, etc. may be missed if a student is tardy and if a student is absent, they may also get behind on their class work and homework. Communication between teacher and students about the classroom management procedures for these two things are important so that students are informed and are able to take the initiative to gather what they have missed which can help avoid them falling behind. If tardies and absences are frequent, a teacher may begin to be concerned and question what could be the possible reasons behind it, whether that be an outside force in a student’s life or something that may be happening in the teacher’s own classroom. Establishing a relationship and reflecting upon oneself as a teacher to why the class might be having
