Expectations

High school and college have become two different standards of education all in their own. Not only from the lifestyle, but a persons mind set of being dependent on their teachers in high school has to become independent in college. The teaching style a student is accustomed to be no longer available in college, for instance going to class’s everyday, teacher student relationships, and doing homework every night doesn’t exist anymore. As a student you enter a new realm of stability set upon your self to take action and accomplish your own goals.

Even though there is freedom in high school, it is meant to take those that want to learn and obtain an intellect, and tap into the variety of different assessments of education to give them a clue of what they might want to pursue towards in a career. High school teachers are more hands on with students because they are allowing them time to comprehend what is being taught. As a result, students in high school students are required to go to class everyday to get a day by day lesson to help them stumble upon understanding the criteria presented in front of them. On the other hand, college professors further identify the importance of going to class everyday, by only assigning certain days of the week so students can become self-governing. Allowing students to seize the cruelty of procrastination and apply themselves in class, because the information won’t be given on a daily basis. Therefore, students can grasp the information for their own knowledge and amuse themselves by realizing that the only way to learning is by being focused when necessary.

Another approach to teaching that is different from high school to college is the teacher student relationships. In high school teachers are more hands on, they dedicate themselves to build a teacher student relationship so that a student will feel comfortable accessing familiarity with their work. Some students require more attention than others and additional interest may needed to build confidence for students in understanding their work and allow them to have a sense of security. For instance, a student might struggle on tests; high school teachers set aside time to help the individual attain better test taking skills. Although college professors aren’t able to assist students, because in most cases the class sizes are too big to be hands on with students; there are tutors provided outside of class for students that are in need of assistance. Another negative to not having a teacher student relationship is that professors only have time during the short class session to lecture the class and assume the class comprehends the lesson.

Finally, the late nights staying up trying to finish homework in high school change when you go to college because homework is not 20
