The film perpetuates and challenges the dominant ideas that it is always good to be involved in extracurricular activities. Being involved with the school more than just being a student and performing in the classroom is a good way to become deep into the student body. Representing the school in various ways of having East High pride. Although the movie wasn’t completely about wanting to improve their ways of becoming academically successful such as the movies that were watched before in the class. High School Musical still reminded the viewers that extracurricular activities are important on resumes too.
In the classroom scenes of the film they’ve got the part where most of the students get sent to detention after school. The rule of having

Apart from the classroom being how it is in real life and how it is always a positive to be a part of the extracurricular activities. When this film was new and when most of the viewers were kids back then. High School Musical made it seem like when they made it into high school it would be just about the same thing. All of the musicals going on and how amazing high school will be once they make it that far into life. Hollywood made it seem like the kids were going to have a lot of fun and that sports are very important. Although it is mostly correct. High school is fun and sports are very important. Viewers today should know that the musicals are just a fantasy in the Hollywood life of films. Academics are the most important with education. High School Musical takes away the part of how academics should take a huge role in education. That is a danger towards the movie. It would have been good if the movie was made to where it brings out more of real life education while still being a musical. Hollywood could have made a song about maintaining a good grade in class to be eligible to take part in the extracurricular activity. The success to the film about education is that being involved is always a plus. Whether it is being on the basketball team to stay in physical shape and or to be in the drama club to work on public speaking. Also, the academic decathlon to improve on
From what I ponder, I think the reason why we watched this movie was to encourage students to work hard on something they vehemently want to do. The tale of the movie displays a character who puts her time and effort to study difficult vocabularies, in order to attain her goal of winning the nationals in Washington. Therefore, through watching the movie, students can relatively connect to the situation in achieving their goals.
The 2010 black comedy musical, Heathers, was written by Laurence O’Keefe and Kevin Murphy and was an adaptation of the 1988 film by Daniel Waters. The musical follows Veronica Sawyer as she navigates through Westerberg High School while dealing with being on the bottom of the social hierarchy and attempting to gain an in to the most popular clique: The Heathers. The musical deals with the social issues of navigating through social acceptance, teen suicide, as well as gun violence.
If one were to ask what the basis of human nature and civilization encompasses, I would tell them to read Victor Hugo’s epic novel, Les Miserables (1862). Set in various locations in France, spanning from 1815 to 1832, the novel follows the main protagonist, Jean Valjean. The story begins with the Bishop of Digne and his daily life. Jean Valjean, a released convict, stumbles upon the town where the Bishop lives and is shunned from every inn he goes to due to his status as a former prisoner. The only one who will let him take shelter is the Bishop of Digne. This act of kindness transforms Jean Valjean from being spiteful of humanity to being saint-like towards it, in regards to the Bishops wishes.
These include small classes, challenging, rich curriculum, individualized instruction, and supportive responses to emotional and behavioral challenges. It also means ensuring a meaningful “floor” - in terms of school readiness, physical and mental health, and nutrition - on which they can stand in order to viably learn,”(2). That applies to all students, not just those in poverty. We need to pay attention to what’s good for the individuals, not just the most students. The article also mentions, “pressure on test scores has crowded out the art, music, and drama that cultivate a love of learning and that draw out a children’s unique skills,”(2). I could not agree more that homework and studying take up much of the time that could be dedicated to extracurricular activities that schools hypocritically urge students to do. As a part of many theatre programs, I can say that there is literally not enough time in a day to go to school, go to rehearsal, complete homework, eat properly, and sleep for the suggested amount of time. Even on weekends, without school, it’s nearly impossible because of the homework and studying
As much as this class has grown together, every one of us has also grown as a unique individual. We have found our talents and interests. These interests have drawn us to different activities and in turn helped shape our lives. Some of us have excelled academically while others have helped improve Summer High School by participating in activities such as Link Crew or ASB. Some of us acted in plays while others shared their musical talents by singing in the choir or performing with our outstanding band. Many of us have preferred to be involved in community service with a group like KEY Club. In addition to these school activities, many of us have invested time in jobs and other community activities.
High school athletics have a major impact on everybody that is involved with them. It can also leave a mark on people who aren’t associated with them. There are many conflicting opinions on whether high school sports have a positive or negative influence on a student’s life. Athletics in high school can have an effect on the community as a whole. In H. G. Bisssinger’s highly regarded Friday Night Lights, high school football is accurately portrayed as the most important thing in Texas.
Rent. To most people it is associated with an apartment, house, or another object. This word rarely conjures pleasant memories, but more often annoyance and stress. However, when someone mentions rent to me, my mind races to some of the most memorable experiences in my life.
Their grades let them take the higher classes in school and allow them to have the title of being an intellectual. One of the privileges that come with these good grades is the reward of being put into the high classes like AP’s. Once in these high classes they have the advantages of having the good teachers. Good grades will also give them the opportunity to be a part of groups that will get them ahead. One group in particular is the national junior honor society. Only kids with good grades can get into this society making it highly thought of and elite. With good grades come the privileges of better teachers and being a part of groups that will make them more competitive when applying for
First and foremost, extracurricular activities increase academic performance of students in a myriad of ways. Students who are struggling in their classes have an opportunity to receive remediation that may not be allowed be the time constraints of a school day. Moreover, because they have time to get teacher help after school, they have more individualized instruction and assistance that a class size of 30 students just doesn’t permit. However, for students already excelling in academics, some extracurricular activities offer those high-achieving students to take their performance to the next level. Through such activities as Mathcounts, Technology Student Association, Debate, and Model United Nations, students already doing well in school have the chance to compete with other advanced students in competitions that challenge their critical thinking skills and their speed in skills learned in school. Furthermore, for all students, some extracurriculars provide incentives to do well in school; National Junior Honor Society, for example, recognizes students wit...
In the movie a student in the movie would be ask by one of his neighbor or maybe gang member to sell drugs for him. The students show in the movie that all of the students know were to get drugs and alcohol. The other four are sexual behavior that leads pregnancy and HIV, one of the students from the movie goal was to get pregnant and drop out. The dietary patterns that contribute to disease, insufficient physical activity and the use of tobacco. The movie did not show the last four, but they were hinted at throughout the movie. For some of the students the school was not a safe environment for them, the problems from the streets follow them to the classroom. A school must be safe and healthy environment if students want to succeed. The students in the movie did not have good family background and for most did not have parents. A teacher role should be a bridge between the school and parents. A teacher needs to motive students in the classroom to do well, while their parent needs to make sure they get work done when not in
Do you ever think girls are too mean to each other? Girls are often mean to each other, but sometimes they a little bit too mean. Like Newton's Third Law, for every action there is a reaction. Girls take action to get a reaction and please their audience. It is clear that girls are too mean to each other.
Often high school is perceived as a time when a youth finds themselves. While I agree with this, I think it is not only important to figure out who you have been, but also to figure out who you have become and who you will be through growth and maturity. I know that throughout my high school career I have done just that. I have experienced so much since I first walked through the doors to Henderson High School. As a freshman and sophomore, the only major activity that I participated in was Track and Field, which I had been doing since I was 9 and continue to do now. As my junior year comes to an end, I look back on my progress, and I am proud. Recently, I was given a reminder of my newfound involvement when passes for club pictures were handed out. I
Basic education principles have not changed for over one hundred years. The core of school has not changed even though some changes have been made. In the fifties to the sixties some aspects of these changes have become apparent, such as bridging the gap in the races, and connecting boys and girls to all be taught by the same teachers. In this day and age students are expected to keep up with the schooling system while also keeping up with extra curricular activities, like band, sports, and clubs. This is not all students will need to do while in school. Students in schools have social lives, and they have a
First, focusing on studies in important in high school. Teenagers often look at high school as a time to party, but high school is important for the future of teenagers. Focusing on studies and achieving high scores
Extracurricular activities can benefit students greatly through their personal lives and well being. According to Justin Coulson in his article on kidspot.com, students that are involved in extracurricular activities, such as sports or clubs, are generally healthier than those who do not participate. Extracurricular activities can help raise student’s self esteem and self awareness as stated by Joy Burgess in her article, “Extracurricular School Activities and the Benefits” at more4kids.info. Being involved allows the student to learn about the skills and talents they already have and can teach them new ones such as time management, organization, and prioritizing skills. It also allows the students to realize what they are good at or enjoy doing (Burgess). As similarly described by the College Board staff at collegeboard.org, extracurriculars can enable you to learn your personal talents, interests, ...
