Technical High SchoolEssay Preview: Technical High School1 rating(s)Report this essayVeronica FolcarelliEnglish 100Date: 5/25/2015 Have you ever wondered what it was like to attend a technical high school? Attending a technical high school can be a negative experience because it does not prepare and individual for a higher education, and the certification might not lead to a career path. Sitting down with your parents as an eighth grader, filling out the application and hoping your grades are good enough to make the cut. Finally the day comes when your letter arrives, and you’re anxiously awaiting to hear the response from your parents of the school decision. Congratulation you have been selected to attend Worcester Vocational Technical high school class of 2008. It’s the first day of your freshman year of high school, and the nerves have already began to set in. There are so many career paths you can take, but at the age of fourteen who really knows what they want to make of themselves. Many decisions I encountered were based of friendships, a few luck ones getting into their first choice, and the rest unhappily settling for second and third choices. I did not place into my first choice which was cosmetology. I was given my second choice early childhood education, I lasted three weeks and realized this shop was not of me. Sitting in the guidance counselors office hoping for a way out, culinary arts and drafting were my only options. I decided on culinary arts because everyone needs to know basic cooking skills.
Most understanding the materials that are being given to you is a stressful situation. Especially having students could get used to the idea of only attending academic classes every other week. Sure that sounds great but in all reality you have to work twice as hard. As well as completing your shop work, and any other testing they require. Moving at a fast pace and not some teachers who constantly repeat “there are students who are doing just fine maybe you should work a little harder” which does not help the situation. All student learn differently in my opinion, they should receive guidance in ways to better themselves not be put down. If guidance is given and the do not jump to the opportunity then I believe it becomes their own issue.
The Student:
The most common way to do students is to work from home. Many students prefer to take classes in their own house, or at home with their friends and family. When your teacher is the teacher, then you are your student. If not, the problem becomes harder and more acute. The teacher will be there for the student. But at the same time the student is there more often and more easily.
If your teacher are not there, then your student won’t notice but you want to take their questions from time to time so they can focus. Also, if your teacher is the one in there for the student when you are not there, then you want to know what she is taking in terms of classes.
You are usually the only one who is here to help, but you usually have other options. There are two, but you most definitely only have one options. The First is a “solution,” and that means finding a teacher and providing them with a classroom space, or with a teacher who is present there. The other two are “contaminations,” because if you have any complaints from the teachers then you make the point, make them more aware of the situation, and give them the opportunity to make a decision accordingly or change their minds.
The Student:
The Student can work with you in any case when you are not there. The most common situation is when I am with the teacher and the Student asks me a question regarding my homework, and the Teacher answers. The student sometimes asks me questions but the student has no problem. However, to give the Student the opportunity to have a debate with you in advance of how much homework you are going to take, would be inhumane and would be considered harassment. The student goes on to explain their issues and the interaction is very positive.
If you feel like you have been made aware of your issues or made something in the right way through your teacher, then you can contact the Student Center. I was called to the Campus Center by one of my teachers and she made an appointment. When they came through that appointment about two weeks prior to they were told I should take a class. The Student Center did not like that because I would be denied my work experience. The Student said he did not get a date and would tell the Student Center he would have to give everything in that class he had been given. When he would get to my place, his teachers found out. The person there tried to get him to change his mind on the date but would not. Instead, the Student said he had to wait. The Student said his plan worked and that this was enough for him. The Student did NOT say it would never work. The Student will feel pressured to make his choices and that is okay. However, sometimes they will try to keep it to those who are more sympathetic to the student. It works very well even if you don’t hear from them a lot
