My high school life was filled with many dramas actions. It started as a disaster because I couldn't get used to the high school system and I was adapting to the western culture. As a result, I fail to get along with friends and keep the friendships I made during the middle school. Later in the years, the life progressed to chaos to a great experience. I expanded my vision and started to make friends who cares about me, and joined clubs. And due to my friend's silly action, somehow I ended winning homecoming competition. It was fun and I am thankful for him for letting me experience a great event. The teachers were great and flexible too. They were all great with different styles of teaching.
Wilton High School has been an incredible experience. Every year I've attended, I have received unlimited support from the incredible faculty. The teachers and administration truly care about the students and want them to succeed. However, there was a low-level of diversity and some students did not empathize with the struggles of other ethnic and social groups like they should have. Nevertheless, the Wilton High School faculty wanted to see all students succeed regardless of background, opinion, or GPA. I personally recommend Wilton High School to anyone in search of an unparalleled learning experience.
I have had a handful of difficult teachers during my time in high school, but for the most part, I have been absolutely blessed with knowledgable, kind, engaging teachers. I intend to remain in contact with these influential, impactful teachers for the rest of my educational career. I believe that, without the support of these teachers, my high school experience would have been incredibly different. These teachers completely motivated me to be the best I could be, and I am extremely grateful to have had these Wilton High School faculty members as both teachers and mentors.
The teachers whose teaching style was most effective for my learning usually taught in a circle formation. The desks were arranged so that a Socratic, communicative approach was taken to the class. I loved being able to discuss topics with my teacher and classmates face to face. Students communicated much more effectively and freely. Speaking with my teachers in this 'circle' formation, they exuded knowledge and intelligence in a more approachable way; gone were the lengthy lectures in front of the class, instead replaced with a conversational approach to teaching and learning, which I loved. The discussions sparked in the circle were always extremely intuitive and full of depth.
These teachers had a great interest in their students. They were very accessible and approachable. Most of my teachers had fabulous communication skills, alwasy leaving me feeling incredibly supported.
Across the board, most of my teachers were very consistent with their grading. However, some of my teachers graded "subjectively", which was difficult to understand. With no rubric or exact point system, I sometimes struggled to comprehend why my teacher would take certain points away from one student but not from another. The "subjective" approach to grading is not consistent with most teachers, but the ones that do often face some backlash from their students.
