Most Rememberable Orientation- The Arts High School














For my colleagues, the orientation, at Arts High School, might not have been so excited as it was for me. while walking into the school, I heard a choir of students singing so beautiful. Looking at them and hearing them sing was not matching. Because when I look at these students, I just see normal high school kids. Then I here something so beautiful that I could not believe was coming from their mouths. I learned and realized that each and every student are really gifted individually; no matter what school they attend. I want to be apart of as many student as I can. To help express their gift as individuals.

The Public Purposes of Education in a Democracy Inquiry Project


For my inquiry project I will be identifying the question: How does being a teacher have a impact on students past, present, and future? and what are the pros and cons of being a teacher?
To identify these questions I am going to discuss about how teachers teach students democracy. I will be also discussing how teachers learn to handle with different types of students- students who are gifted, have special needs and behavioral problems. Teachers are advisers, big brothers and sisters, and help students in need. Some struggles that they can face is dealing with students mood swings (attitudes), weapons being brought to school, threats, and different kinds of violence. Furthermore, I will be discussing about many more struggles and responsibilities that teachers face in the school systems and the way they handle it that have a impact on students.

Activities that allow me to observe will help me with my inquire project. Because it gives me a much more better understanding on answering my inquiry question other than getting answers from text books and literature resources.
