Things That Should Teach In School But Don’t (PART 1)

Things That Should Teach In School But Don’t (PART 1)

‘School’ – very complex yet well-install institutions meant to teach individuals, helping them have a job and succeed in life. I found that school is too focused on memorization; as a child, I learned my notes by heart and then went through exams, passed a test, and then forgot about everything. For most people in society, knowledge is referred to as a piece of paper, a.k.a certifications, but they don’t have real-life knowledge. This article will go over what I…

Top 10 Reasons To Read More Books

Okay, I don’t want to be the one, but I read for fun, and I can finish a book in a day. So, you would be correct to say that I’ve read my fair share of books in my time. I also did an English degree and currently working on a master’s in linguistics, so trust me when I tell you I know what I am talking about. I’m a big advocate for reading, and I want more and more…

Top 10 Gen Z Slang That You Ought To Know

Top 10 Gen Z Slang That You Ought To Know

Language changes and evolve over time, and each generation have their own lingo that separates them from adults. According to linguistics like Bucholtz and Preece, the formation and creation of slang is part of youth culture, and it is a way for them to demarcate themselves from mainstream society. Language for them thus acts as the formation of any anti-society. In layperson’s terms or for people who don’t have a master’s in linguistics, it means that each new generation of…

The Benefits and Importance Of The Education In Prison

The Benefits and Importance Of The Education In Prison

Education is the key to opening new and otherwise unreachable doors for most people. This is why everyone should have access to it and why I believe that education in the prison system is a great way to develop the inmates’ skills and teach them skills that they can use in the outside world. The goal of prison shouldn’t be to detain people for the rest of their life, but rather they should educate these people, make them learn from…

The Importance Of Teaching Sex Ed In Schools

The Importance Of Teaching Sex Ed In Schools

I am a staunch believer that sex ed should be a compulsory subject that should be taught in high school. It allows students to practice safe sex, and they become aware of their bodies, which can deter teenage pregnancy because they are aware of protection and what they can and can’t do if they do get pregnant. You need to start treating high school students are adults because not talking to them about sex doesn’t mean that they aren’t having…

Why are dress codes in schools problematic?

Why are dress codes in schools problematic?

I never understood the use of a dress code at school; yes, some pieces of clothing should be unauthorized, because unless you are going for dive, a bikini or swimsuit won’t be appropriate at school, but other than that, I believe that anyone should be able to dress however they want. As a young queer and non-binary teen, I wasn’t allowed to explore my gender identity at school because my school had a stick no nail polish policy for boys;…

Violence In School: Save Our Children From Corporal Punishment

Violence In School: Save Our Children From Corporal Punishment

As parents, we send our children to school to develop, learn, grow and make friends. Most parents look at educational institutions with trust, which makes sense, who would send their children to a place that cannot be trusted, after all? But this is exactly what happens in various institutions, and the phenomenon of “schools are the perpetrators” is not new, but we are more aware of it now, and everyone should be. Pandemic Teachers cannot save their students from the…

Why queer history should be taught at school?

Why queer history should be taught at school?

School is supposed to teach us about things we aren’t aware of; they are supposed to educate us on the history of our country and all the good and evil it was part of. For far too long, history has been dictated and controlled by old white men in power, but with time, we see a more diverse picture of the past and learn that most of the things we learnt at school are biased and one-sided. Queer history is…
