The quick answer is to study more for your tests and go to your teacher with any problems or misunderstandings you have. All high school teachers want their students to go to college and be successful. Talk to your counselor about your problems and have them set you up with a tutor.

The only reason to study is to learn, to pass your classes, and to obtain a degree. \n\nThe only reasons to do this include improving your mind, understanding the world, preparing for a job/career, striving to meet goals that you set for yourself, hoping to make the world a better place.\n\nMost students get confused when they ask the question "why study?" as if studying is something that someone "makes" them do. Nobody makes you study; studying is important only as it helps you meet the goals that are important to the individual. \n\nOf course, in general, an educated populace is also a benefit to society and the world as well as to the educated individuals.

Most high school students attend school because they have to whereas college students attend because they want to. Also take into consideration that most college students have the drive to do better because they are paying for their education and to further that, there are consequences for not doing well. If you are not doing well in college, they have the right to put you on academic probation and could deny your continued education if you don't do well. \nAs far as your education, to teach college, you must at least have a Masters in the subject you want to teach and I believe that Universities require a PhD.On the other hand, to teach high school, you need a BA or BS in the area of content you want to teach as well as a teaching credential issued by the state (I am speaking of public institutions) in that subject area. Also, keep in mind that teaching is not a job you do for the money and the pay is often very low. For example, in the state of California, a teachers starting salary is comparable to that of a manager of a clothing store, which requires a minimum education. Also be prepared to dedicate much of your free time to your work as the typical paid workday is not enough time to complete all of the necessary duties that come with being an educator. Good luck in yor future.

Well first, you need to be sure your grammar and spelling are impeccable so people will take you seriously. Second your question is a fragment and does not make much sense. I think you are asking what skills and knowledge should be included in a school to make it successful? If that is the case there are hundreds of possible answers. My opinion on this matter is not always liked but it would be effective. Here is what I think (you best be careful with stealing ideas though as much of this is written in a paper I did). First, you need a sound building in which to house your school so the kids will be safe, secure, and have an environment conducive to learning. You also need to be sure the building is located in an area that will serve the students you wish to serve.\nSecond, you need a well developed curricular objective. What is the purpose of your school? Vision statement? Goals? Objectives? among other questions. You also need to define what your school is. Is it a private school or a public school or something in the middle? \nSkills wise I believe we need to concentrate on the basics FIRST. Reading, Writing, Math, Science, and Social Studies are the most important subjects. Depending on the focus of your school will depend on which are the most important. The federal government would argue with you that Reading and Math are most important but I do not believe you place one core subject above another. I also believe schools do not do enough with teaching students to WRITE a good sentence, paragraph, essay, or paper. \nOther than those basic assumptions of a school it comes down to the focus of your educational mission. If your school is a high school geared toward technology then you should be providing students with skills in the fields of technology. If your school is a middle school that is to prepare students to get into a particular high school then you should tailor your program towards the requirements of that school. If you are a college prep school then you need to immerse your students in college prep classes to build the skills necessary for college study. This could go on forever!\n\nStart with a mission plan, goal, and objectives to establish your educational mission. Then the rest will flow off of that thought.\n\nhope that helps....

Learning online takes independence and willpower.  I'm involved in an online high school.  Sometimes, it's hard to focus and my determination dwindles.  However, an online school is great for people who are unable to attend a traditional learning environment.  There are many students in my school who are geniuses and would be teased because of their young age.  The curriculum most often matches that of traditional learning, however the classes offered usually varies more than a normal school.  For example, there are more AP classes or higher education levels.  With learning online, one can do their work when it's convenient for them, unlike a normal school where homework/etc. is usually due the next day.  An online school is a good opportunity of someone has motivation and determination to help themself learn.  Otherwise, it's not a good choice.

It varies among people.  Some folks are ready to roll right out of high school; others have had enough of the academic life and want to see something of how the real world works before diving back into academia.  One is likely to find that the real world is rather cruel to people without college degrees, and that may help motivate one to head back to school.

AP classes are a great opportunity for college-bound high school kids.  It takes material at a faster and more intense pace (like college) and at the end, most places provide testing that you can get college credit for.  That way, once you actually to college, you'll already have college credit earned and you will have tested out of western civ, biology, or whatever you decided to take in high school.  It is an awesome way to get a head start and get a feel for freshman level college courses all at once!

Because:\n1. More students would be able to afford it\n2. More students would be drawn to it because of its better value

why are the students planning it and not the administration?\n\noh.  Just keep it simple.  Have the student with highest gpa give a speech, maybe have the class vote on a teacher to give a speech (maybe chose one that is retiring as a special sendoff for them too).  Nothing fancy.  When I graduated from junior high that's all they did.

I'm for it... there are so many reasons. One, to reinforce. Two, for one to learn to work alone and with others(a parent, tutor or friend). Three, it really does prepare you for the real world when you will have to do homework ALL the time. WHat car to buy, what insurance to get, what bank to deal with, etc.

Global economy has forever changed the nature of carreer planning in the US.  It used to be that the smart kids went to college.  Now, its pretty dumb because in most cases, like engineering, they won't be able to get a job when they graduate.  They are better off working blue collar jobs and trying to work their way up the coroporate ladder.

Money and need are the keys. Each school is designed to cater to the kids with majority need in that area. If you're the only "smart" kid in your class then why would they create a "gifted" program just for you? \n\nIn cases such as yours, they usually allow the "gifted" kids to take classes in high-schools, or you could get tutored. You have options.\n\nAnd just as an advice for later in life, be humble about stating how "smart" you are and about how you're the "smartest."

That would be appropriate for high school, but ask someone to make sure.

Well, he may be right if he had really good study habits in high school.\n\nOnline degrees require a lot of personal motivation and discipline, though.  You really have to be able to get yourself to do the work and learn the material without the structure of the classroom.

With a "teenager" just out of high school and one going into the 9th grade, I would have to say that in my area, the schools have a great college prep program, but the prep is only as good as the kids make it!  It's like a horse, you can lead it to water but you can't make it drink.  Schools are only a small part in preparing kids for college.  The parents are just as important if not more and outside influences.  But mainly it all falls on the kids and what they do with what is offered to them.

Studying and getting good grades in high school certainly help. Excellent SAT and ACT test scores, also. Check the web sites of colleges you are interested in and see what their test score requirements are. It also helps to be a 'well rounded' student. That means get involved in various activities in and out of school - sports, band, clubs, volunteer work - the more, the better.
