A good education is something we all need in life. There are two levels of education I
find very different: High school, and college. Many people may think theyre alike, but I find
them distinct. After graduating high school, and now being a college student, I noticed how
different they both are. Some of these differences are: the attitude of both students and teachers,
the rules that apply to students, and the different level of work expected by teachers.
To begin with, the attitude of teachers toward students in high school differs a lot from
the attitude of instructors toward college students. Its been clear to me that high school
teachers are much stricter, such as with following school rules, and turning in assignments. I
always felt like I was getting pushed to accomplish things in high school. I also remembered
having rules such as, no eating or drinking in class. Chewing gum during class was never
allowed. In college, instructors are very different. You are treated like an adult. The instructors in
college expect you to do the work and arent constantly pushing you to do assignments. They
expect you to have assignments done; you either do it or il.
The rules in college are also very different. Youre allowed to eat or drink during class.
Even be on your cell phone. The atmosphere of classrooms in high school differs from the
classrooms in college. Students are much more mature in college, and take their studies more
serious. For example, when it comes to exams or assignments; some high school students dont
take such things seriously while other high school students do. Most college students are up to
date with their assignments and take time to study for important exams. Even though high school
teachers are strict, this doesnt seem to change how seriously high school students take their
assignments. Also high school students arent expected to score high on exams and arent loaded
with as much work as college... [continues]
