how many binders do i need for high school? +tips for high school?
so my school starts in a couple of weeks, (really early right?!) and I wasn’t sure how many binders I would need for school because I am buying my school supplies today, because i’m busy with my activities in the next couple of weeks. I have 10 classes as a freshman, 6 academic classes, a study hall, sports, and dance. and i have block schedule so i have 5 classes each day instead of ten. so out of my 6 academic classes , four of them are core classes and the other two are french and world geography (elective). and im wondering if i should get a binder for each academic class or if i should get four for my core classes, or two 2″ ones (one for each day of block). i plan on getting 6 notebooks but no so sure about binders so if you can answer in detail that would be great.
and any tips for freshman in high school would be great!!!
THANK YOU!
since you only have 4 core classes, i suggest you buy two 2″ ones(: use a divider to divide them each in half and use each half for a class. for example,
binder 1 could be one half geometry, and one half could be biology. you get the rest right? (:
i personally think that having 4 binders for each class is toooooo much of a hassle,
try getting folders too! also, make them fun (: buy decorated ones like hello kitty or like harry potter. maybe take a label and right your name on it too.
another tip is to get the binders clear so you can decorate the front(: personalize it. get clippings of magazines, pictures, a pressed fake flower, your namee.
anythingg.
haha, goodluck in highschool (:
and yeahh your school starts preeetty early! mine starts in like 5 weeks.

Teachers! Should You Really Be Teaching? Questions
Do you think that teachers should eat in front of kids?
My teacher is pregnant and I understand that she gets hungry. But one time she had rice and chicken and ate in front of us!!!! This is 2nd period and most kids are really hungry. I don’t mind her eating at her desk, but she eats while she is teaching.!
I asked her if we can have snack and she said no because shes doesn’t want trash in her room.
Even if she is pregnant, she can wait until between classes to eat. If the rules say students can’t eat in class, then neither should she, especially if she enforces the no-eating rule. It’s like how students can’t have cell phones in the class, but then the teacher’s cell will ring and they’ll answer, or they’ll spend all day on their phone. I’m so glad I’m out of school- I don’t have to deal with this shit anymore.
“More than anything else, playing inspired defense
is a matter of will.” Phil Jackson
We have to get the ball in order to play with the ball! Defense gets the ball! Period!
If both teams are equal and every player handles the ball equally, how much time will each player have with the ball? In This example, defense is fifty per cent of the game. Well, then that means half of the game is spent without the ball, trying to stop the other team from scoring and getting the ball so your team can score.
Defense is too important to just hope that players will get it. The coaches must teach it.
Not too far into my coaching career, I became acutely aware of the importance of teaching defense. Early on, I had been just setting up defenses and walking players through their positions and assignments. I realized that just telling the players to play defense wasn’t getting the job done. I learned “what” and “how” and then I began to teach every component, from the placement of the feet and the stance, how to react, how to play on the ball and off the ball, against cutters, in the post, etc., etc. We were rewarded with better play and I became a fully dedicated advocate of teaching defense.
Defense is so integral to the overall success of a program it cannot be afforded a cursory inspection, like I was doing in the first few years. Once we teaching-coaches know the “how”, it can then be taught easily enough, then drilled to perfection the same way we develop offenses-over and over and over, until it becomes UNCONSCIOUS COMPETENCE!
In my more than forty years of coaching, I have come to the following realizations about defense:
1. There is often a lot of generalization rather than specific teaching being done;
2. Many coaches believe zone defense is easier to teach than man defense;
(Defensive skills are easier to teach than offensive skills.)
3. Creating a good defensive player is infinitely easier than creating a good offensive player;
4. A team can play good defense and win even when the offense is having an off game;
5. Defense has always created most of my offense.
Throughout my career, at all levels of coaching, from the playgrounds in the beginning, to national teams, we won nearly three out of every four games we played. I had some high scoring teams, and on only few occasions was I blessed to have any superior offensive players. My highest scoring teams were my best defensive teams.

Education History Questions
how hard would it be to do a major in history education while doing a minor in music?
i know that education is a very rigorous program but i really wanna minor in music also. i’m thinking about taking summer classes as well.
i do have two years of theory, have played violin for 8 years and viola for 1 and 1/2
any thoughts or suggestions?
It’s definitely doable, but make sure you have college credit going into it (AP or something similar) and be prepared to take summer courses. I started out as music ed but changed my major after a year. I’m now math education with a minor in music. I finish my music minor next semester.
Research by the Baring Foundation suggests that maintained English primary and secondary schools raise £143 million a year (or an average of £4,000 a school, or £47 per pupil) from sources outside their main school budget. Some 49% of schools are raising more than £10,000 a year.
Secondary schools raise money from a much wider spread of funds than primary schools. Companies are the main non-LEA source of support, but some of the highest fundraising secondary schools are community schools with high levels of parental support. These high fundraising schools tend to use diverse methods such as:
Fundraising from the general public, parents and events
Company donations
Commercial sponsorship
Parental covenant schemes
Applications for grants/lottery funds
Income generation (trading goods or services).
So what do schools raise money for? Computers, music and sports equipment top the list, followed by redevelopment of school grounds, seeking Specialist status, transport and voluntary support of school trips.
It is harder to raise money from companies and local events in a socially deprived area. Low income and low employment mean many schools do not want to be continually approaching parents for financial support. On the other hand, schools in deprived areas can use their location to their advantage when applying for grants and lottery funds.
Investing in Fundraising Skills & Strategies
Fundraising for schools and school activities is nothing new. Only now with the pressures of Workforce Reform and initiatives like Extended schools and Specialist Status, many schools are reviewing the way raise funds, co-ordinating efforts and planning ahead. For the first time ever, maintained schools are setting up Development Offices with paid fundraising staff, already common practice within Private Schools. With a growing need for highly trained people who can lead school fundraising campaigns, accredited training in this area is proving to be a great investment.
Schools that experience high levels of fundraising success will have taken some or all of the following steps:
Identifying and training staff to coordinate fundraising (SBM or other)
Establishing their school’s current priorities.
Establishing how much money is needed and over what timescale.
Producing a fundraising strategy
Preparing proposals for each individual project.
Matching the funds required for each project to the most appropriate sources
Reviewing fundraising efforts at regular intervals.
Celebrating successes along the way, though media and project champions
Practical Steps to Boost Your School’s Fundraising Approach
Tops tips to help you review and revive your schools fundraising skills and strategy.
1. Speak to your Head and Bursar
Leadership provides fuel and direction so try to work closely with senior staff at your school.
2. Decide your goals
Why not ask pupils and parents to suggest the three things that would most improve the school environment? You may be surprised by the results! Collect this information through existing forums:
Noticeboards and questionnaires at school fairs and parent evenings
School council agendas
Assemblies and discussions in form groups
3. Adopt project champions
Do your school fundraising projects have champions who will speak for their value and importance to children, families and the community?
4. Research your local area
One of the best places to find local area statistics is the Neighbourhood Statistics Service, where you can type in your school’s postcode and receive a range of economic and population statistics. Visit www.neighbourhood.statistics.gov.uk.
5. Check out the grants awarded to others
Visit the lottery site www.lottery.culture.gov.uk and find out what other schools in your area have received money for. Were you surprised by any of the types of activities on the list? What is your school doing that is similar?
6. Find out what’s available
All web savvy fundraisers should make use of grants databases, such as Grantnet, at www.grantnet.com. It has lists of all sorts of grants available for schools and has a search facility for primary and secondary education. For new lottery announcements see www.lotteryfunding.org.uk.
7. Set up a Grants Working Party!
Explore the idea of a dedicated sub-group or committee with governors, the Head and the PTA working together to try and bring in the much needed money to support the school. This way, tasks can be divided.
8. Consider Income generation methods:
Grants applications to trusts and foundations, and the lottery
Business partnerships
Community fundraising and event management
Setting up small lotteries
Facilities audit and lettings
Creation of charitable trading company.
Legacies
Alumni (ex pupil) development
Rationalisation of sports equipment and uniform supplies.
Further Training
Many of the above aspects are covered in detail in a short course for schools, the Certificate in School Fundraising & Income Generation at www.fundraisingskills.co.uk. This is the only accredited school fundraising course in the UK, training leads to:
A 12 month funding strategy
A polished Trust appeal for a project of your choice
Step by step review of your school’s existing model
