New York Times List: What I am really Learning at School

At school, students are taught a lot of material. In biology I am learning that taking notes is important. It is important in this class because the teacher likes to give mini quizzes and tells us most of the information that is on the quiz instead of just reading the book. My next class is World History and I learned that repeating the same power point everyday helps you learn the material. When it comes to the test I know the material because we go over it everyday.

In Spanish I am learning that reading in the language will help with speaking, learning vocabulary, and finally graded activities. In English I have learned that poetry can be found in almost everything. Ever since learning it, I have noticed poetry in songs and books I have read. Lastly, in math I have learned that asking your friends for help before asking the teacher is okay. When we got a new teacher, she encouraged us to work with friends and other people. All of these classes have helped me learn in many ways.
