...High school students in part-time employment: What effects on scholastic performance? Educators in the United States have long argued about the effects of part-time work on the academic performance of high school students. Though many studies claim that there is a relationship between a student’s grade point average (GPA) – the standard measure academic performance in high schools and universities in the US – and the number of hours the students is employed, there seems little agreement on what that relationship is. Several studies (Sneider, 1982; Wallace, 1988; Johnson and Payne, 1989) suggest that students who work after school do better in their school work than students who do not have a job. Peel and Maas (1990), meanwhile, suggest that students with part-time job generally do worse than their classmates who do not work at all. Still other research claims the amount of hours worked outside school hours is of very minor importance; much more important in influencing a student’s performance in school are the student’s habits and home life (Alvares, 1987). Of seven major studies on high school students in employment received by Bjarnes and Doi (1990), four studies specifically investigated the relationship between scholastic achievement and part-time work. Of these, two concluded that students who work beyond a certain amount of hours per week tent to have generally lower GPAs (Walson and Yin, 1990; Corbelli, 1989). These two studies noted...

...from high school to college When you went to college did you ponder on the thought on how much college was different from high school? The differences are substantial and can be a lot to handle at once. When I first got here I didn’t know what to expect coming straight out of high school. Till this day I still don’t know what to expect but as time goes on you learn to go with it and adapt to you surroundings. When I arrived at Elizabeth City State University (ECSU) I noticed a few differences between my high school and my current university right away. The transition from high school to college was difficult to comprehend, because of the change in friends, not working, eating habits, environment, and my independence. My friends have changed a lot due to the transition from high school to college. I noticed that I have a rather difficile time keeping in contact with my friends back home. The distance between us makes it hard for us to spend time with one another. Also I have friends that attend other universities and the school schedule on top of my own makes it impossible for us to spend and adequate amount of time with each other. The thing I miss the most though would have to be working with my friends, they made it galvanize and worthwhile. I noticed since I have no one to share that same excitement with at any work place, I find myself not striving for employment. I haven’t had a job since I left high school, because I don’t feel like it’s for me right now while in in...

...CHAPTER 1 THE PROBLEM AND ITS SETTINGS Background of the study Orszag (2001) Working while attempting to obtain a degree has become a pervasive lifestyle for today’s University students among the reasons contributing to an ever increasing trend of working during education could be the increasing financial pressures from higher college tuition and fees, the necessity of gaining social experiences, and academic requirements for practical internships. The likelihood of working while in school for college students has been increasing particularly as the cost of education has also been rising. Noni’s and Hudson (2006) Academic performance is measured by the standing of rates of grades of student in every subject. Having a high level of performance on the academic area of a student suggest its competency and high level of confidence on its certain field. Students have their own attitude towards learning and achieving a high level of academic performance. The development of their enthusiasm towards succeeding in their own field varies. In order for a student to succeed he needs to be armed with strategies and techniques that will supplement his desire to reach his goals. Crede and Kuncel (2008) One way is to have an efficient and adaptive study habit. This phenomenon can be linked to multi factors that affect their study habit. Such factors can be found in their environment, these includes the type of house they live in; the people around them and the level of support...

...Although there were more students attending, the schools funding had drastically decreased, as it was dependent on the local real estate taxes, which had gone down with the real estate values (Hine), so the teacher to student ratio was miniscule. The need for teachers caused more females to attend high school, because once they graduated, they could go into the education field. Another reason high school attendance rose after 1930 was because of the first lady, Eleanor Roosevelt. Unlike Franklin, she believed that it was detrimental to the country to have the youth lying stagnant with nothing to occupy their time. She was also not alone in this belief, the conservative Americans believed that by having nothing to do, youth would begin to have more liberal beliefs. Little did they know by encouraging the youth to do more, it would create “The New Left” in the 60s. With the support of various parties, Eleanor encouraged the creation of the ‘National Youth...

...Collins social location wasn’t matching the standards of her overall high school population. Collins problem she encountered in high school were the set of values and beliefs that majority of her high school population went by is blocking from what’s she is being taught at home and reflecting on her character. Collins social location was living in an environment as a high school student that was raised in a working class household, it doesn’t match up to the standards of everyone else in high school. So in result, Collins had to speak “so called proper called English” to her teachers and perform all the other behaviors of middle class people in her class to feel accepted. This caused Collins inner character to be virtually educated out of existence. I went to Western High School located in Baltimore, Md. While I was attending this High school, I didn’t experienced similar things as Patricia Collins. Majority of my high school population had the same social location as me. So the values of the working class everybody believed in and met by them. In high school I didn’t have to worry about my race and gender becoming a big problem with my education because my high school was an all-girl school and was predominately African American. Prior to my school being in a city and I didn’t have my license, I had to rely on the public MTA bus or the light as my transportation. I also had to work to provide for myself while my mother were a single parent struggling to pay bills in my household...

... Douglas is one sociologist in particular who would tend to agree with the generalisation that working-class underachievement in education is the result of home circumstances and family background. Douglas feels that this educational underachievement is maintained due to what he classifies as ‘poor’ parental attitudes and encouragement towards the education system and its functions. He use’s evidence of poor parental interest with regards to lack of attendance at parent teacher meetings and other functions held by the school which would be in the best interests of the children if their parents attended. He highlights the fact that parents of working-class students have poor rates of attendance at these meetings and thus it comes across as if they are less interested in their child’s educational experiences and opportunities compared to a middle-class child’s parents who do attend. However some would say that Douglas’ view is rather controversial in that he fails to recognise that many of these parents could be at work when these meetings are scheduled or perhaps they are looking after children and are unable to find or afford someone to look after them. So can we really say that working class underachievement is a result of home circumstances and family background as sociologists such as Douglas suggest? Newson and Newson would also agree with the statement that working-class underachievement in education is the result of home circumstances and family background. Through...

...Lecanto High School has well exceeded my expectations. Initially, I did not think that my involvement within the program would provide any additional academic or moral benefit. However, my assumptions were refuted on a daily basis. Several key figures and components derived to my success throughout the semester, including my mentor, Mrs. Crisp, the office staff, and the various problems and challenges that I faced while working in the program. Together, these factors have improved my overall experience as an intern, and have provided me with the critical skills and knowledge to become a well-rounded adult. My mentor, Mrs. Crisp, portrays the ideal character and attitude to handle the fast-paced and demanding environment of the Attendance Office. Mrs. Crisp is a hard working individual, who is constantly putting others before herself to achieve peace and unity. It is truly unfortunate that many students will not get to know Mrs. Crisp in the manner of which I was able, as her optimism and humor always put a smile on my face. I will be forever grateful for having Mrs. Crisp as a mentor. The Attendance Office staff has also...

I feel that my academic career at Woodlynde has been very successful and I have exceeded my own goals and expectations. Freshman year my academics did not meet my school’s standards or my own standards. The main causes of my poor grades and lack of performance freshman year were my illness and my inability to focus in school. However, once I was diagnosed and received help for my ADHD and my Graves’ Disease my performance in school drastically improved. Woodlynde has provided adequate support for me to thrive academically and become a high honor roll student. Through my sophomore year I was able to maintain and improve my grades while balancing three varsity sports. Currently I maintain an A average in my honors curriculum, and have no issues balancing schoolwork with extracurricular activities. I believe that my academic record shows that I am capable of working hard to achieve academic success and meet standards set by myself and my school....
