Each state of the United States has hundreds of different schools.
|
|||
|
|
These schools include public and private institutions of varying size and
|
|||
|
|
culture. For many, going to one school is a gift. I am fortunate enough
|
|||
|
|
to have attended 2 schools in different parts of the country. Fairfield
|
|||
|
|
College Prep in Connecticut was my school of choice for my freshman and
|
|||
|
|
sophomore years. Jesuit College Prep turned out to be my final High School
|
|||
|
|
for my remaining 2 years. Although Fairfield College Prep and Jesuit
|
|||
|
|
College Prep seem similar in many ways, they are really very different.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Fairfield Prep and Jesuit Prep are both Jesuit affiliated schools.
|
|||
|
|
Several Jesuit teachers are spread out amongst classes taught at each
|
|||
|
|
school. These Jesuit influences, of both schools, follow the main goal to
|
|||
|
|
teach the students and attempt to make learning interesting, while keeping
|
|||
|
|
a Christian attitude in all that they teach. Both schools are private
|
|||
|
|
institutions, which the Jesuit community leads. This Jesuit community in
|
|||
|
|
each school requires a strict dress code of a tie, shirt, slacks, and nice
|
|||
|
|
shoes. This dress code is active for all the 800 student bodies of each
|
|||
|
|
school. Both student bodies consist only of boys ranging from about 14-18
|
|||
|
|
years of age.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
However, the environment of each school are very different. Jesuit
|
|||
|
|
Prep provides a warm learning environment by vividly decorating each wall
|
|||
|
|
throughout the school with paintings and works of art to share culture with
|
|||
|
|
the student body. Fairfield Prep students must look at the usual drab
|
|||
|
|
colors of an off-white based paint that showers the walls of each main
|
|||
|
|
building. Each building of Fairfield contains hundreds of lockers, each
|
|||
|
|
with a lock protecting each locker. Fairfield's padlock security scheme
|
|||
|
|
does not exist within the Jesuit Prep community, as each locker is bare
|
|||
|
|
with no locks or locking devices anywhere in sight.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
As the environments are different, the overall attitude of both schools
|
|||
|
|
is different, too. Fairfield Prep encourages a strict follow-the-teacher
|
|||
|
|
approach to teaching where the students must learn all from the teacher and
|
|||
|
|
expressions of their ideas are discouraged. Jesuit stresses an open
|
|||
|
|
atmosphere that encourages a cooperative atmosphere where the students
|
|||
|
|
learn with the teachers and the students are able to discuss classwork, or
|
|||
|
|
even socially with the teachers after school. This open atmosphere leads
|
|||
|
|
to more personal freedom for the students, as they pursue their own
|
|||
|
|
thoughts and ideas at Jesuit Prep. These thoughts and ideas encouraged at
|
|||
|
|
Jesuit Prep are challenged in more difficult courses taken by all the
|
|||
|
|
students. The curriculum of Jesuit Prep requires students to study and
|
|||
|
|
read more literature books and novels.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
These differences of Jesuit Prep and Fairfield Prep show that two
|
|||
|
|
schools which seem very much alike, are really very different. Many
|
|||
|
|
private schools across Texas and Connecticut share similar properties, yet
|
|||
|
|
they each have their own distinguishing features. The United States has
|
|||
|
|
many schools, but none of them are exactly the same as another. Any
|
|||
|
|
school, no matter where it is located, has it's own unique background,
|
|||
|
|
which truly makes the experience of learning at more than one school, a
|
|||
|
|
gift.
