Personal Narrative: And Then There Were None

334 Words1 Page

Thus far in my schooling, I have been to many schools that have all taught me in various ways. At public school, my grades were not the best and now that I am a private schooler, I am learning faster and more efficiently while earning straight A's. School is really enjoyable now that the students are friendlier, teachers are more caring, and I am taught in such a way that best suits my learning abilities.
Although Mount Rainier has really changed some of my bad habits regarding school, there is still one that might never change; I do not like to read! If I had the option of reading or not, my answer would most likely be not. If I had to choose my all-time favorite book it would be And Then There Were None. This book has a lot of mystery and

There are always going to be the teachers that stood out from all the rest for one reason; they connected with their students. When asked about school, students will not reply with an undoubted love for all the time spent going through it.

  • Personal Narrative: The Big Day

    The big day, it was finally here. Two weeks of training on my own and putting in extra effort to sharpen my soccer skills, all for a two-hour evaluation. Sure I’ve been to soccer tryouts before, but I’ve never been to one where I’m so nervous that I could pass out. After a little pep talk from my dad, I was ready to go. I pulled my tryout jersey over my head and set off for the deep green pitch. As I approached the other girls that were already passing, juggling, or just talking with their friends, every single one of them turned their head to stare. Of course, there were other girls that didn’t belong to Sc Waukesha and were trying out, but nobody even glanced at them. Everyone's attention was on me, and I didn’t know why.

  • Pros And Cons Of Homeschooling Essay

    1312 Words  | 3 Pages

    Public schools have pros and cons just like any other form of education. One of the pros is that it is less expensive. Textbooks are generally provided free of charge and if something does require money, the child may have the opportunity to rent the item or have the fee waived due to financial restrictions. Another pro is that a child, especially during the high school years, can have a choice in what courses they take throughout the years of their educational career. The students can also drop out of the majority of the classes that are not mandatory and replace them with another class that they prefer or would do better in. Private schools are another option and the learning is more effective when compared to public schools, but not every family can afford a private school. Homeschooling is less expensive, in most cases, than private

If these people would just take some time to find that there are just as many wonderful things about the schools our governments provide, they may feel more confident in their choice. Those never exposed to anything but private education miss out on the diversity among students, extra vocational and extracurricular classes, and may even continue to not understand all that public schools have to offer.
