High school is the name used in some parts of the world, particularly in Scotland, Northern America, and Oceania to describe an institution that provides all or part of secondary education. The actual term "high school" originated in Scotland with the world's oldest being the Royal High School (Edinburgh) in 1505, and spread to the New World owing to the high prestige enjoyed by the Scottish educational system. (In the eighteenth century, Scotland had the world's most literate population.) A number of countries engaged Scottish educators to develop their state education systems. The Royal High School was used as a model for the first public high school in the United States, the English High School founded in Boston, Massachusetts, in 1821. The precise stage of schooling provided by a high school differs from country to country, and may vary within the same jurisdiction. In all of New Zealand and Malaysia along with parts of Australia and Canada, high school is synonymous with secondary school, and encompasses the entire secondary stage of education.

Q. I am a junior in inglewood high school and my neighborhood is considered rather "ghetto" so to speak, but i have always had higher than a 3.5 GPA, but i have always wondered if my chances of getting into a university(such as Berkeley or Brown) are greatly different compared to let's say a student with the same grades from Beverly Hills or Malibu and such.

Is there anything a high school student can do to start preparing for a medical career? Do med schools look at your high school career at all? Does volunteering help? If so, what kind of volunteer work is there when it comes to the medical field? Thanks in advance. Oh, one more thing. Would it help to start reading medical books and what-not to better prepare yourself for the MCATs, even though they are years away? Can anyone recommend any books to read to help prepare myself? It doesn't matter to me the level of difficulty the book might be or anything, so really anything you can recommend would be helpful. Again, thank you in advance.

The best thing you can do in highschool is to prepare yourself for your undergraduate work in college. I've worked as a paramedic, and that experience helped me confirm that medicine was the route for me. You might consider taking an EMT course and spending a little time working on an ambulance or in the ER. This could give you a little hands on experience to see if this is really what you want to do. When you get to college, talk to the pre-med or pre-health advisor. They can show you the requirements for pre-med. Study hard and get good grades. The average GPA at most medical schools is very high, 3.77 at the school I'm applying to. Also, take a review course for the… [cont.] Answered by Medic123456789 - Fri Sep 22 02:35:27 2006 How can high school sports be rewarding to students in the present and future ?

But im looking at the positive side of students playing sports like the fact that they are more fit in High School and as they get older they are less likely to become obese, which is the number one problem in the U.S. But what how else do you think High School sports can be rewarding besides keeping students fit ? Asked by *~*~*~* - Sun Oct 14 17:23:27 2007 - - 3 Answers - 0 Comments A. What is sport? It is a situation where Person A competes with Person B and the best person wins, while someone comes second. However eventually if the person who comes second raises their attitude, trains, then the chances are they will beat the same person next time around. Likewise Team A plays Team B and one teams wins, while the other team comes second. Likewise if the team who came second raises their standards, then they might be winners next time around. In School sport is not about fitness, its about how to compete, how to be a winner and how to be a looser, if the person likes one to one situations, or if they are a Team player. All that life has to offer can be found in sport, from being the individual, the outsider, to being a… [cont.] Answered by gillianprowe - Sun Oct 14 19:26:46 2007 From Yahoo Answer Search: "High School" |
