Why did teachers in the Phillippines pull the plug on this student's graduation speech? Posted: 24 Mar 2015 02:36 PM PDT A YouTube video that shows school officials in the Philippines cutting off a high school student's graduation speech has sparked online debate about school authority and the freedom of speech. Niño Parochial School in Quezon City, salutatorian Krisel Mallari hinted at injustice in the school's grading system, leading school officials to stop her before she finished. Supporters praised Ms. Mallari for speaking out, while critics said a graduation ceremony was hardly the right place for such an outburst. School officials tried stopping Mallari early into her speech after she suggested, without going into detail, that the triumph of her graduation had been marred by unfair treatment. |
German students, teachers weep for classmates on doomed plane Posted: 24 Mar 2015 11:47 AM PDT By Kirsten Neumann HALTERN AM SEE, Germany (Reuters) - Students and teachers at a small-town German high school broke down in tears once they realized that 16 classmates and two teachers were on board an ill-fated Germanwings airplane that crashed in France on Tuesday on a flight to Duesseldorf. The 10th grade students from the Joseph-Koenig-Gymnasium high school were on their way home after a week-long Spanish exchange program at the Institut Giola in Llinars del Vallès near Barcelona. It was a reciprocal visit after 12 Spanish students had spent a week at their school in December. "It was a Spanish language exchange program and they were flying home after having what was probably the most wonderful time of their lives," said Sylvia Loehrmann, the education minister for the state of North Rhine-Westphalia. |

Successfully Earn a STEM Associate Degree in Community College Posted: 24 Mar 2015 07:30 AM PDT Community college can be a starting point for students who pursue STEM careers that require advanced degrees or an avenue for students to earn an associate degree and other certifications. "Community college is a good first stop because of the price, for one thing, and I feel it gives you a really good quality education," says Andrew Constantine, a 19 year-old freshman at Southern Maine Community College. Money issues, insufficient math and science skills and unfamiliarity with STEM careers and the college process are some of the reasons students don't stick with STEM, according to a report produced last year by Hanover Research, a global marketing firm. |
Video: Steve Nash high school basketball highlights Posted: 23 Mar 2015 08:00 PM PDT Steve Nash High School Highlights 1,455 views1:28 Video: Steve Nash high school highlights See the two-time NBA MVP in his high school days in Canada. Every scrawny, under-appreciated, below-the-rim high school player has an idol ... a role model ... a vision. He is Steve Nash. Born in South Africa — now there's a start most NBA hopefuls don't consider — his family settled in Victoria, British Columbia, another professional basketball not-so-hotbed. He played soccer and hockey as a youth but told his mom he would someday play in the NBA. Imagine the laughter. But after he averaged 21.3 points, 11.2 assists and 9.1 rebounds for St. Michael's University School, a free college education seemed like a nice possibility. Of course, no one bit on at a wiry 6-foot Canadian kid until Santa Clara coach Dick Davey requested a highlight tape. I mean, what the heck, eh? Despite Davey telling Nash he was "the worst defensive player" he'd ever seen, he took a chance on the lad. And we all know what happened from there. Two-time West Coast Conference Player of the Year. Eight-time NBA All-Star. Two-time NBA MVP. C'mon. Sounds like a fairy tale. The final words were written today when Nash officially retired. Lucky for all those scrawny high school kids searching for a dream, his career is always available in books, the internet and television sets everywhere. |
