Is beauty school/makeup school consider higher education or college?
Any schooling outside of your high school education is considered "higher education". Makeup schools are not considered colleges. Professionally you will find that most makeup artists have associates degrees or bachelors degrees but not in makeup. Many hold business, art, or marketing degrees (all which help them build their professional business). If you are worried about educational levels then go to makeup school (makeup artists do not go to cosmetology school, cosmetology school is for hair, esthetic school is for skin, and makeup school is for makeup) and then while working as a freelancer get some normal college courses in. You can even get a general studies degree so you at least have a college education. I did both and was suprised to find that most of my fellow artists did the same. Makeup artistry is basically running your own business unless you find an agency to represent you. You need some sort of business education or basic college to help you make your business a success. Not to mention, fellow artists are typically educated. Makeup artists are far from being considered ignorant, you have to learn how to mix various chemicals and what their compounds are to even work on set. That takes some brains and some education. Makeup school is a good start towards your goal but don't neglect your basic education which teaches you things that make it easier to talk to a wider range of people.
What do you think is wrong with our education system?
California. Problems: Low per-pupil funding (#48 out of 50 was the last I heard); lots of English Language Learners have trouble with the academic learning; lots of home problems interfere with gaining education (gangs, poverty, mental illness, substance abuse, poor role models in family, chaos in family life); poor transportation to school; no one at home to read to kids or talk English to kids; continuing institutionalized racism in the schools. 1) Increase per-pupil funding. 2) Have preschool education, maybe in homes of poular, loving neighborhood ladies who everyone likes! (no abuse), where the kids get bilingual exposure to English, get read to, get healthy snacks, get healthy physical play, & develop good pre-school habits, even from age 1-2, with their Moms. Pay for it with state money. 3) Have mandatory kindergarten. 4) Allow grade skipping for bright children & high achievers. 5) Offer lots of arts education...music, visual arts, singing, playing instruments, and P.E., for well rounded, healthy kids. 6) Offer lots of language in early grades..oral language, songs, plays, skits, for both cultural sharing & helping to read later on. 7) Have ungraded classrooms, where students of various ages blend freely, according to skill levels, without shame. (Just like in community college, a 20-year-old and a 50-year-old can learn Pre-Algebra). 8) Welcome parents and grandparents in classrooms, to share experiences, read to kids, help with tutoring and assignments. Let them lead study halls, according to US discipline rules. I have 3 kids who graduated from public school plus 1 got a GED.
Why do high school students consider college applications to be stressful?
I'm a high school student filling up my college applications.I find it to be stressful because I am going to be judged.1)Family/Peer pressure My friends,acquaintances,family members are going to ask me about the status of my application? what would they think of me if I get rejected? What if my friend gets into a good college and I don't.Will I be judged because of that?3)Essays- I am being judged through my essay.If I talk about my achievements,I might seem like a braggart.If I don't write much I might seem like a student who hasn't done much.I need to use complex vocabulary to come up with essays asking me things like 'Biggest obstacle I have overcome?' 'Social,international issues and their influence on me'. What if my essay is less interesting than that of a person who writes about how they collected a million dollars for charity while all I've done is serve in the local soup kitchen?4) Extracurricular activities-Are my extra-curricular activities good enough?Maybe I should have done another internship or started another club.5)SAT scores- this is one of the most stressful things.Will my sat scores be good enough? Unlike other factors which are subjective,SAT scores can be used to judge your knowledge easily.You stand at a certain %tile.6) Recommendation letters-Teacher,counselor recommendations- Not everyone is this perfect student who is considered to be a great person by their teachers and counselors.The worst fact is that the students don't get to see the recommendation letters.A single negative letter can have a great impact.7)Grades-Just like SAT scores,even grades put immense pressure on a student and sometimes create an inferiority complex.What if I got a B and I tried my best? What if I get accepted on the condition that I secure X score on my finals? Will be able to do that?Combine all these factors and you have immense pressure.
Can I start homeschooling in the middle of a semester?
I'm a sophomore in high school and I am deeply considering being home schooled, mostly likely using an online program. School is really stressing me out and I think that homeschool is the best option for me right now. Also, my grandmother just moved in with us because she recently had a stroke. My mom is getting even more stressed out than me, and she could use my help during the day when I'm usually at school. Any help would be great! Thanks.
I'm home schooled, but thinking about going to public school?
I'm home schooled, but I've been thinking about going to a public school. I started home schooling in the last year of elementary school, and now I'm a freshman in high school. I've tried asking my mom and dad if I could try out the high school for at least one semester, but they always say no, whether it's about the kids, teachers, or even the academics. I moved to a completely different state from when I began home schooling, and I just want to see 1) how it goes, 2) if it's even worth my time, 3)if it would actually be a good thing for me. I already know the pros and cons between the two and so do my parents. How do I sit them down and talk to them, and have them actually think about it? Honestly, I don't have much else to lose, other than the rest of my sanity, time, and laziness.
Would you rather go to college at a small school or a large school?
I'm going off to school for the first time this fall. I chose to go to a medium-size university (population 4000). I like the fact that I get smaller classes, as I don't think I would have been able to stay awake in a huge lecture hall. I liked the size of my high school classes very well. I'm not sure if I could have adapted to big classes that are 200+ students large because I already have a hearing problem. Even though it is well corrected with hearing aids, I don't think my corrected hearing is as good as the average person's is. Also, I'll be able to get help from a professor without too much difficulty if I ever need it, since my university is small enough. Due to my hearing problem, I am feeling a little overwhelmed that some of my classes are going to be 50-60 students (after all, I did choose a medium-size university, not a small one), but I am pretty sure that the class sizes will get smaller as I get into upper level classes. I'm not too upset that I don't have a ton of major options. My school still has an accounting program, as well as majors in business administration, economics, and math. Since I want one of those majors, I am perfectly happy with my options. I am at school to learn a lot, not spend the whole time socializing, so I should be fine with the fact that there are not a million activities to do. There are enough to keep me busy when I am not studying at my mid-size university. If it had been up to me, I would have chosen to go to a smaller university (of course I didn't receive enough financial aid at any of the private schools). Since I ultimately received a $7500/year scholarship at my public, in-state, medium-sized university, I was able to afford it better than I would have if I had been going elsewhere. But I think everything will turn out alright, regardless of the size.
Do you believe school just isn't meant for some people?
Yes, Schools and colleges are not meant for everyone.There can be several reasons to this question, dependent on the economic status of the person to his/her personality on how he/she behaves towards others.1. School is expensive.Rich, poor, or middle class, school is expensive. You could argue that there are multiple ways of paying for it and yes I agree, there are Scholarships, Grants and Financial Aid. However, not everyone is awarded Financial Aid or Scholarships. I know several people that are still in debt, years and years later, thousands and thousands of dollars they still have yet to pay back.So, Yes first one is the financial problem of people.2. Time spent in college can be put to better useYou just graduated high school. Take time for yourself, you’re only young once. Volunteer, travel, learn a trade. There are jobs where experience is more important than education, get an internship and enjoy the experience.3. You can still make it in lifeMark Zuckerberg, Bill Gates , and Steve Jobs , all dropped out of college. I am not encouraging you to drop out, I want to show you that these 3 mean all made it in life, they went far too. You don’t need a college degree to make it. Don't feel pressured into going to college. I have even seen many other people in India who succeeded without schools and colleges.4. Not everyone is college materialCollege is hard, even for motivated people. For the people that don’t want to be there, college is almost impossible. Whether it be due to Mental Health, Financial status, or any other reason, college isn’t for everyone. You don’t have to go right away, or at all.College is not for everyone.Regards.Naman Goyal
