The Rubik’s cube of life is a 6 sided puzzle that represents our lives as students. It shows that we have responsibilities as students. Throughout different grades, we had patterns or routines that helped us out. In worked for many of the grades we passed and really helped out in life. The Rubik cube shows that if we try to follow the same pattern or routine as 7th grade in 8th grade, it will not work. In fact, it might do the opposite, it might help out with one part of our lives as students but fail in others. Now that we are in 8th grade doing 9th-grade work, that routine will not work. This is because if we follow a 7th-grade routine, we will have our life messed up and broken, which no one wants. Instead, we need to make a new routine, one that differs from 7th grade and helps us out in not just one aspect of 8th grade but much more. For example, we can’t have a routine which only helps us out with homework, but a routine that helps us out with homework, studying, classwork, and other aspects of 8th grade. …show more content…

And that routine or pattern helped us out in 6th grade and maybe even 5th grade, but it will not work in 8th grade. We are going to be doing work that requires us to give it our all, and no laziness will take part in that. 7th grade did not ask us for that, but the 8th grade will. This is why we need to abandon our old routine and make a new one. The cube of life (Rubik’s cube) has taught me that things change and that things will not stay the same forever. This is why we need to forget our old routine and bring in the new

  • School Reform: Grade Level Elimination

    1010 Words  | 3 Pages

    In modern times, it comes as no surprise that there are a plethora of issues and negative occurrences throughout the traditional educational system. Schooling is not a choice, but a mandatory duty that each and every child must fulfill almost daily. Depending on grade level and work load, the average student spends nearly 8 hours per day either learning in school or completing assignments from that day (U.S. Bureau). This indicates that a majority of a secondary education student’s time is consumed by school and school related work. Because this is an obligatory role, it is imperative that these students are not being forced to do such work, but instead are interested and engaged so that they may enjoy this work. Although there is a multitude of reasons that a student may do poorly in school, a substantial cause is the flaws with the grade level system that most schools implicate. The elimination of grade level systems is not entirely unheard of or practiced, but it has not been extricated enough to show the advantages of alternative schooling systems.

    Students will need all those skills as they go through high school and beyond. Homework also teaches students how to manage their time wisely (Cooper 86). In other words, students have more than just homework to do when the school bell rings, and in their future life they will have more than their job to look after; hence, learning how to manage time early will help in the future. Homework may also help students explore their own interests (Marzano and Pickering 79). In addition to exploring students’ interests, students may find a new interest through homework by doing a research paper or having to read an assigned book. Homework is a tremendous boost for developing skills far beyond the

  • Homework Is Bad Essay

    1092 Words  | 3 Pages

    This is because as a student myself, the majority of homework I have been assigned in the past falls into the category of “busy work” which not only wastes my time doing repetitive actions, but it also does not help teach me anything new. There have been many times in which I have decided that homework is not even worth doing for a certain class, because it will be too hard, and the teacher has no plan to even check it. In many classes homework ends up feeling like something the teacher is assigning just for the sake of assigning something. This choice to not complete homework is also fueled by a complete and utter lack of any free time to do all my homework. Being a high school student is a full time job. We have to go to school for 8 hours every day, many students are involved in after school activities such as sports or club activities, as well as church activities in the evenings. Many high schoolers are also encouraged by parents to go out and do things with friends to have fun, which is very hard to do when you have 3 hours of homework sitting at home. Homework is something that many students find extremely stressful. This is not because it is necessarily a hard assignment, but because it serves no purpose except to waste our
