My Topic, I just remembered this.

I chose to write about school assessent, because it really is a huge issue in Mephis. I went to private schhol, until my junior year. My junior year, I transferred to Bartlett High School, because Harding Academy got to be too expensive. the diffeence was astonishing. In private school everyone is taught to be the sae kind of individual,but the education is so much better than that of public school. When I still went to Harding, I was making straight A's. At Harding though, that is what is expected and all of my teachers were constantly pulling for me to work harder and push myself to do the best I can. We prepare throughout high school for our ACT. I wrote my first 10 page paper, my sophmore year. Everything began a little bit sooner, which put me a little bit ahead of everyone else..at first! I got more help with questions at Harding, because there was more one on one. My parents knew about falling grades, before I did. All these things add up to make a smart person, but not one who is prepared for college. I came to public school and I absolutely loved it! There were no more techers pushing me and my mom never knew anything, unless I told her. Little did I realize, that was a bad thing. My teachers were not passionate and they did not give a shit if I passed or not. I was so used to it all being handed to me, that I would forget about homework, essays or whatever else was assigned. I doubt it is like this for everyone, but this is my personal experience. I just believe kids need a balance of preparation for the real world, but a little bit of push from their teachers, as well. I like the belief system at Harding, it taught me morals and selflessness, because when I went to Bartlett I met a lot of rude kids, who had no idea what manners were. A few questions from me. Do teachers really put in the time and effort they are supposed to? Do they care if your grades are up? and do private schools hurt you in the long run? I may not have liked being told what to do when I was at harding, but I knew my teachers cared and that was rewarding.
