High school made me more confident. I had to do presentations in class which helped me overcome my shyness. Also, I learned to manage my time better with all the homework and extracurricular activities.
The high school textbooks of the People's Education Version were usually divided according to grade. The specific way to differentiate them was as follows:
1. Grade One (compulsory 1, compulsory 2)
The first year of high school mainly included language, mathematics, English, physics, chemistry, politics, history, geography, and other subjects. These subjects were very important foundations in the three years of high school, and they were also an important part of the college entrance examination.
2. Year 2 (compulsory 3, compulsory 4)
The curriculum for the second year of high school mainly included Chinese, Mathematics, English, Physics, Chemistry, Biology, Political Science, History, Geography, and other subjects. At the same time, they also began to come into contact with some elective courses. These elective courses were the focus of the second year students 'studies and also an important basis for the candidates to choose their subjects.
3. Year 3 (elective course)
The courses in the third year of high school were mainly for elective courses. Students needed to choose elective courses according to their interests and strengths, and then carry out in-depth study and mastery in the following studies.
It should be noted that the division of high school textbooks in different provinces and regions may be different, but the above division is a more common one.
For some students, having a girlfriend in high school was really motivating. For example, if they had a girlfriend who was good at academics, they would study harder to keep up. My classmate Tom was like that. His girlfriend was top of the class, and he improved his grades a lot just to be on the same level as her.
The Covington High School story had a significant impact on the school community. It brought a lot of negative attention at first, with the school being associated with what was thought to be disrespectful behavior. The students faced a great deal of public criticism. However, as the truth came out, it also led to a sense of vindication for the school community. But still, the whole ordeal left a mark, and they had to work hard to rebuild their public image.
