Primary & Secondary Education - April 2007

It's my daughter, doesn't believe us about needing to go to school. Doesn't believe she is a genius, but thinks she knows everything, literally. She transferred to internet H.S. to become a night owl schooler, but now, she is not even doing that. I keep telling her she will be up a creek. She thinks she could easily pass a GED but just found out she can't until 17. Then what? If she keeps going by continuing to fail. People/employers won't see how clever she is.Currently she is on the fast track to Juvi hall by police to go to school. She didn't even understand how the signals of a mailbox worked last year. My heart goes out to her, but if she thought about suicide before, she'll be wanting it later at this rate. What would you say to her? (Yes, hopefully she'll outgrow, but she will have lost too many opportunities that you and I take for granted, like schooling. She's been like this since 10 and been thru the system of child services, but still at home.)

Nothing covered in high school classes is essential to university work. If anything, high school builds up the self esteem of those average learners who can't/won't think for themselves, but plenty of people, myself included, found it a generally negative and worthless experience.

I barely graduated, but am an A student in university. The smartest people I've known, never graduated high school and some of them are graduate students!

When I was 16, I wanted to drop out of high school and do something else with my life, but was told that this would lead me down a path of unemployment and inability to go to university. Complete lies, but as a teen I didn't know better. I would have got a GED, gone to community college at 16, transfered to a uni at 17 instead of wasting an extra 2 years in the high school system.

Why pretend? Is it just to cover the fact that high school is just daycare for teens?

Or, how can we help keep our kids safe at school? I think all classrooms should have locks on the inside, so a teacher can close and lock the door, and they need to have a panic button and an intercom available. My mom is a teacher, and she says she cannot even close and lock her classroom door from the inside.

When are companies, schools, and the government going to get their act together and take the necessary precautions to deal with these types of incidents?

Is the "feel good, self-esteem promoting" culture in our Grade Schools and High Schools producing a generation of kids who belive they are "entitled" to good grades just for showing up to class, and they just can't handle being required to actually do classwork and getting the grades they really deserve when they get to college?

I hate school. I cannot stand my school do I skip it almost every day. Luckily, I am A smart person and I'm in all of the advanced classes and don't have reputation as a rebel. Only the people who really know me know about my strange feelings. My parents don't care - they don't even mention it if I don't go to school. What I end up doing is leeping all day and then staying up all night talking to my girlfriend. I get behind in my work and when I try to go back to school I get a bunch of crap from my teachers and friends. I just get so depressed when I considering dropping out altogether, but I really don't want to do that because I realize it would ruin my life. I don't want to go back at all but I also don't want it to ruin my life. I am so confused and I have really tried to go back and juzt can't take it. What should I do? please help.

Samira: newscaster
Leonid: Interviewer
Demet: Russian navy official


Samira:
Greetings! Today we will be discussing The Kursk, a nuclear submarine which took part in exercises in the Barents Sea and supposedly has been sunken. Consequently, the gravity was pulling down on it than buoyancy was pulling up.
The ballast has to discharge its air in order to sink, for this process; this means that there was something mistaken with the ballast. Administrators believe that there were no nuclear weapons on The Kursk and say that the submarine’s nuclear reactor was shut down. Leonid will have more information on this.

Leonid:
Thank you.
I am here with a Russian navy official, Brad McCoy. Now, Mr. McCoy, how depth did the submarine sink? Were any bodies discovered?


Demet:
Well, The Kursk was found to the sea bed at a depth of 108 meters, off Severomorsk.
The airlock below the submarine was found to be flooded with water, but no bodies were discovered. The Russian navy officially had announced that all 118 crew were dead.

Leonid:
What did you think happened to the submarine that made it sink? Was there something wrong with the ballast?

Demet:
The cause that The Kursk sank was because that there was something wrong with the ballast. I actually had heard that the submarine has crushed with an iceberg in the Atlantic Ocean. That iceberg had perforated a hole in the ballast of the submarine. For this reason all the air and compressed air to come out of the submarine. These made the gravity pull down on the submarine more than buoyancy. So the submarine sank.

Leonid:
Well thank you for your time Mr. McCoy.
Now back to Samira.

Samira:
Thank you, Leonid.

Now I am sorry to say that the submarine has been under for too long and we have lost communication with the crew. We believe they have drowned by now. There was no more that the rescue team could do.

We will be back after this…

I teach sixth grade math at a middle school in a small southeast Ohio town. My students are nice young people but so many seem so uninterested in really learning math. I like to hear from adults but really am interested in what young people think.
