James Madison High School is located in Vienna, VA and is one of the smallest high schools in Fairfax County. The town of Vienna maintains a tight knit, small town community atmosphere where its residents have a strong sense of pride and involvement; qualities that are mirrored in the students, parents and staff at Madison. Academically, Madison promotes rigor and high expectations for academic success. Over the past three years, Madison has experienced its greatest increase in ethnic diversity, specifically our Hispanic population. With this increase, there is a small percentage (around 11%) subgroup of Hispanic students who are often both English language learners and economically disadvantaged. These students academically underperform
Of course, we are not talking here about students whose comprehension is severely impaired, because they are usually schooled individually and have a special grading system, adjusted to their needs and abilities. But in the classrooms there are often students with less obvious disabilities, which, although less severe, can also create academic challenges. Some of them, such as dyslexia or dyscalculia, are directly related to learning and may affect the speed at which students acquire the material. Others, such as anxiety or ADHD may not only disrupt learning, but also are very likely to cause discrepancies between the students’ subject knowledge and their exam and assignment results.
I will be spending the 2016-17 academic year teaching Chemistry at James Irwin Charter High School. My responsibilities at James Irwin do not stop with teaching – I also manage the science department and am at the forefront of health and wellness efforts across all four James Irwin Charter campuses (not to mention all of the unwritten tasks of a teacher). In managing the science department, I collaborate in curriculum meetings, coordinate weekly lab inspections, support the success of my colleagues, and oversee all purchase orders. Working at James Irwin has taught me valuable workplace ediquette. The most practical example of that involves teamwork.

Aside from what was said before, it does not take even Einstein himself to figure out that what Ahmed had brought to class had no physical representation of something seen hazardous by mankind, yet Ahmed’s teacher had the guts to claim that what Ahmed brought in was the legitimate representation of a bomb. As you can see from the picture shown above, Ahmed brought in had no explosives attached; it was presented in a metal case and contained only circuits. Even someone who is inexperienced can determine that multiple circuits can only make a spark and not an explosion. This questions the hiring system for teachers in schools like this. Someone this inexperienced should not partake in the education system.

One of the challenges I faced was in freshman year when I decided to enroll in two high schools. I never adjusted to the fact that the half days at each school meant I would not be able to commit my time to either school. I believe I had a difficult time adjusting as I was not only balancing the academic rigor of Conard High School and dance school but, also the responsibilities that come with having a disabled father. The days were also fairly long, it was 6:00 am wake up to 6:00 pm when the bus dropped us off.
Let’s just get straight to the point. I would like to know when Newport is going to take bullying, harassment and racial discrimination of its black students seriously. For several years’ instances of racial profiling, harassment and bullying towards African American students have been repeatedly reported to the administration of Tyee Middle School and Newport High School. It has also been reported at the District level by me personally. Children of color attend school in an extremely hostile environment and Tyee, Newport and the District have done virtually nothing to ensure these children are afforded their right to an education.
At what stage of development would you expect these students to be? Are these
It is not an uncommon occurrence to discover that many students dedicate a majority of their time focusing on education. Many students spend hours a night studying. So, why is it that these students are only passing with average grades? Perhaps it is the grading system. Perhaps it is the student is a poor test taker.
Several studies have been done to identify problems that affects student’s academic performance.
