Unraveling the Essay in School

Unraveling the Essay in SchoolIn school, it was often necessary to write essays that dealt with difficult and confronting topics in the form of written essays. The question of why school, during its early years, was always the place to be considered to be for challenging subjects is addressed by the fact that it was the first place where students needed to learn how to make a social impact in school.There are numerous examples of extraordinary essays, many written by students during their academic careers in general education schools, that was indeed an example of the way in which students were able to take challenging subjects and make them interesting subjects. There is a famous essay in Algebra, an advanced topic for its time, written by student Ashley Joseph Smith. His essay is interesting and deeply reflective of the changing nature of society and school.The essay he wrote in Algebra dealt with a kind of math equation that was relatively unknown at the time. It was quite challen ging for a student who did not yet understand it and written on the back of a postcard, it can be easily seen that the essay was indeed a work of art.Writing in schools, especially during the years of the first post-war decades, was all about making your marks and pushing yourself to do better, so that you could achieve greater heights and be a success in your life. It was a great challenge to be the one in school to keep things going because there were only so many opportunities in a school year.This was also reflected in the writing of essays in general education schools. While they did not necessarily have the same demands, they were all about making your mark, showing off to your classmates and learning from them, if that was possible.In recent years, there has been a marked trend away from this and there has been an increasing interest in writing essays that actually focus on the experience of the entire school year, and if possible, onthe experiences of a single year, a single group of students. In recent years, there has been more emphasis placed on writing about a single year, and even students themselves can participate in it, in the form of writing on a school year.There is a real sense of pride in knowing that your school essay has made a difference, has helped you get through the year, has kept your friends engaged, and will make others engage with you. When they read your essay, they will be able to see what the school year has been like and what challenges and triumphs have been experienced. As these essays are made available to students to read, it will give them the chance to look back and reflect on the things that really mattered in school.
