Do Middle Schools Result In Higher Achievement Than Junior High Schools?. Top Story - April 2021.
Question: Do middle schools result in higher achievement than junior high schools? This question addresses the academic outcomes of students in junior high schools that are organized in a manner similar to large comprehensive high schools with departmentalization, 40-50 minute periods, subject area teachers, and competitive sports, as compared to middle schools using various degrees of the five commonly endorsed practices considered essential to the middle level model of schooling: teaming, exploratory courses, co-curricular programs, adviser-advisee arrangements, and intramural activities. These delineations, however, are not consistent, as many junior highs contain middle school components and vice versa.

The loss of human contact in person continues to be a struggle. As a parent, there are tips you can take to help your high schooler to get the most out of an education at this difficult time.

American history
I hope there are some teachers both old and new and even student teachers out there that might like some blackboard notes for an American history class that could be either 9th or 10th grade. I am a person who has studied teacher education, but decided to become an educational writer after working for 15 years in the nursing field. As an educational writer I plan on writing and sharing various lectures and lessons dealing with all the subject areas that I have studied from courses in early and elementary education through the high school years, and I am also thinking about offering some of my own lectures for the courses I had in undergraduate and graduate education. The fields that I have studied were Human services/counseling; Practical nursing; Humanities with all the subjects that will entail and I hope that some of these lectures will come in handy if only for research purposes.

Summer School
Summer School My first week of summer after my sophomore year at Mater Dei turned into five days I’ll never, though try as I might, forget. About two weeks before the end of the school year, the old man gave me my reprieve, he was going to let me leave the rigors of Catholic School life and go public, it was a gentleman’s agreement, sans the handshake.

Adolescents Who Perform Better In School
Associations between important aspects of the home and family and adolescents' behavior and well-being are the primary focus. Families with few economic resources are more likely to have adolescents who have behavioral problems, who are psychologically distressed, and who do less well in school. Parental behavior and psychological well-being in less adequately resourced homes partially explain adolescents' poorer functioning. Parents in economically deprived homes are more distressed, inconsistent, and harsh in their parenting, and are less likely to create an organized and structured home environment. All of these can lead adolescents to display psychological distress.

Some things they should have thought us in school
School is one of the most important institutions when it comes to the development of the person. Among the educational institutions, it is where we spend most of the time and it is the place where we learn some of the basics of socialization and social life. The schooling system is different in every country and thus students all over the world have different programs. Though some of the subjects and materials remain the same for everyone. Maths, biology, chemistry, grammar, and some more are the subjects mostly learned by everyone.

an anonymous letter from a high school senior. Top Story - March 2021.
We are all trying. I mean, really trying. I've been a teacher for 22 years, and this year is like starting over. We have been in the building more than most here in Indiana, but it doesn't mean things have been any easier -- especially for the students.

An Altruism
Edwin Avery eased into a parking space he had used for over twenty years. One piston inside the engine of his fifteen-year-old Hyundai puttered oddly as he twisted the key to silence it. Stepping onto the gritty parking lot on a warm spring day in mid-March, Mr. Avery cracked his windows before locking the doors, a routine he had observed since the air conditioning died.

The Importance of Music Education in Schools
Music education is a fundamentally important aspect of the national curriculum, yet music and other arts subjects are usually the first to be dropped in schools across the nation, due to a lack of funding and resources. From an outside point of view, music and the arts may appear to some as just a fun hobby or even as a waste of time. But involvement in music and arts education is so much more than just having a sing-song or messing around with some instruments.
