Modern high school systems are troubled and challenged with the prevalence of distraction and technology-induced disobedience. The common problem among the majority of high school students is their overwhelming familiarity with rapid paced technological innovation. This retrofitted environment promotes impatience, disobedience and unfocussed students. I have personally witnessed a severe adaptation in the manner students are perceiving and interacting with teachers and instructors. The students have become predominantly dependent on rapid updates, instant messaging, and unfortunately their cell phones during school hours and activities. This over-dependence on rapid updates and technology has accumulated to an impatient, unintellectual and …show more content…
If the state could offer a high school fishing program to every district in Massachusetts, we could potentially increase the programs likeability, and outreach to students. Once the program has gained enough traction to “get in the water”, I certainly believe that high school fishing could promote the patience, and focus needed to combat the modern anxious, distracted school environment. For years fishing has been used to teach the values of patience, determination, and focus. It is these same values that should be promoted into the school system to create more patience, focus and …show more content…
High School fishing can be done as an extra-curricular activity, boats are not required to participate in fishing, however, a rod and reel is recommended and a fishing license is mandatory. The students that chose to participate in high school fishing can take various travel trips to neighboring waterways, and lakes to compete with one another in an old-fashioned fishing tournament. These travel trips to the location are similar to the manner in which other clubs travel to neighboring competition throughout the year. The program would be operated by both a director, and an assistant director to ensure ample supervision and guidance. The tournaments would be hosted within 15 miles of the high school to reduce travel expenses, and promote familiarity with the area. Once the locations and host personnel have been established, and the team has gotten on its feet, fishing can
There are two things that should be considered in bass fishing, which are, the bass location on the lake or river and bass catching using different techniques, presentations and baits.

Michael Rubinkam’s “Texting in class is Rampant” brings awareness to the fact that most students use their phones during a lecture to text. Many professors are starting to notice it and some have even gone to extremes by having punishments if they see a phone out. Michael Rubinkam conducted a number of surveys with students who attend Wilkes University to see how many students actually use their phones during class. The author also discusses with some professors at the university to see their opinion on how phone use in class can impact the student’s education and how it impacts them as well. There is no doubt that texting is a habit most high school and college students face. It’s our primary way of communication with people. We get so addicted to texting people considering it only takes a few seconds to reply, but with that being said does it interfere with our school life too? Sitting in a lecture and pulling your phone out can be distracting because you’re not paying attention to the professor and the skills they’re teaching you’re practically in your own world at that point. Is the excessive use of texting in class-harming student’s education? The author
Since the start of time, humans have been catching fish. The sport has, in many ways, evolved hugely, and yet in many aspects has stayed exactly the same. To me fishing is unique and I find it can be anything from relaxing to a very intense experience.
The types of fish that are available will vary with each type of location and conditions and the person manning a small fishing supply can also give you a quick orientation of what you'll need to catch the most common game in the area you expect to spend time at. If I'm traveling between islands, I'll generally stay away from bait rigs as it's just too much of a hassle and prospects are good enough with a simple lure. Depending upon where you are, however, the colors of the lures and the type of action will make a big difference in your ability to get a chase from the fish in the

Documentaries are a non-fiction films that in some way capture, or document reality; they are often created to display or reveal an either unusual or hidden perspective. Blackfish is a documentary directed by Gabriela Cowperthwaite, which reveals the story of Tilikum, a killer whale who was held captive at Seaworld Orlando, and killed one of his trainers, Dawn Brancheau. It follows the aftermath of the events of Brancheau’s death and both the economic and social impacts on Seaworld, and the impact on xparks similar to Seaworld. Louie Psihoyos’ 2009 documentary, The Cove, follows a group of activists who travel to Taiji, Japan in an effort to expose the thousands of dolphins who are captured and slaughtered each year. It follows Ric O’Barry,
Many schools don’t support the need of sports in sixth grade which has some negative and positive factors to it. Sports affect many students in a positive way like me; it brings joy to our faces. Today, sixth graders have engaged in sports in non-school, but community sports because students aren’t allowed to get involved in school functioned sports. Fort Bend ISD has banned sixth graders to be involved in any such sport because how “young” they are. I consider FBISD should allow sixth graders having sports.Quite a few students enjoy being part of a team, learning, being physically active. While it is the view of those sports may distract students from academics allowing them to participate in school functions sports will benefit to get better grades, build character, and create anthecentive for exercise.

Teachers are finding it harder and harder to separate a student from their cell phones for eight hours. Cellular devices and social media have become a number one priority for many people across the world. Due to the fact that the student will not put down their phones during school hours, their grades tend to be lower, which could, in the long run, affect their chances of getting into college. The use of cell phones does not strictly affect younger generations, it also had major influence on adults at the
Intro: You know what is absolutely delicious? Sushi. I mean who doesn’t like Sushi? But did you know that the yummy blue fin tuna that we eat in our Sushi is nearly extinct? But oh well, who really cares? There’s plenty of fish in the sea, right? Um… maybe not.
Illegal, unregulated and unreported fishing, or pirate fishing, is a huge threat to the marine environment, it's bio diversity in food development is dependent on it. Losses due to pirate fishing are estimated to be between 10-23.5 billion U.S. dollars per year. Representing 11-26 million tons of fish. West African waters are estimated to have the highest levels of pirate fishing in the world. Fish is a crucial source of protein for millions of people. Fishing is the major coastal employment along the coast's. During a dramatic two year investigation, the Environmental Justice Foundation (EJF) has documented mass amounts of pirate fishing on the West Coast of Africa. Pirate fishermen are literally out of control. They are fishing in protected areas, destroying local fishermens nets and sabotaging them, hiding their names, and shipping their catch illegally at sea. They evade arrest, attack local fishermen, and abusing their own crews. The catches of these pirates have been entering the EU. the worlds largest import market for seafood. This is despite a new EU regulation. The regulation requires all fish imported into Europe to be accompanied by a catch certificate that asks for name, address, validating authority, fishing vessel name, license, and homeport. This is all declares that the catches have been declared legal.y 90% of the vessels documented by EJF fishing illegally are bottom trawlers. Bottom trawlers are are vessels that drag heavy nets across the sea bed catching all marine life in their path. Up to 75% of call the catches made on these vessels are dumped back into the sea, dead or dying. Fish is the principal source of protein for 2.9 billion people. But the United Nations recognizes 80% of the world's fisheries are e...
One reason that cell phones should be banned from classrooms is because students who use them fall into a daze of distracted learning. Classes are taught by teachers, whose goal is to give the student an educational experience, learning things they will need to apply to their later life. However, students on their cellphones are distracted from their learning and never use the lessons taught. Over 2,000 cellphone disturbances were reported in New York City in the past school year (Backstory). This means that over 2,000 people had issues with cellphones interrupting classroom discussi...

The younger generation needs to be taught these activities rather than team sports, because when they grow older volleyball, soccer, and basketball are harder to fit into your life than hiking or cycling for example. There is no doubt that physical education programs across the nation need to be adjusted or changed, and implementing Wilderness Sports and Adventure Education is an effective decision.

It has been known a proven fact that participation in high school sports encourages better moods, self-esteem, and a higher level of academic achievement. This has been proven through various studies, one of them being a study done in New York. In 2006, the Carnegie Corporation of New York discovered that students benefited from participating in high school sports. An improvement in grades, confidence, and personal health and welfare were appreciably noted in ...
