I’m the freak out 2 parts anon and all I want to say is I’m not freaking out anymore. Will I overthink again? Yes. But I think that I’ve decided to major in political science and minor in International biz. Just wanted to let you know in case you were like “is she ok” lol my college search is still going strong I want to go out of state but it’s going to cost too much even with my 27ACT and with COVID every is still up in the air. Anyways thank and hope your doing well💕
I’m the anon who was trying to pick a major psych, international affairs, political science. I’m pretty set on political science and either double major that with international biz. Or biz be a minor but now I’m still freaking about about choosing a college I have a list safety, match, and reach but the only ones I can afford is my match schools that I don’t think I would get many connections out of school/ state as I want to move away after college bc my state schools are not very good. 1/2
I mean there fine but they are not what I want. And now I’m double guessing my major because it’s political science a safe investment in my future? I’m quite literally having a freak out session in the parking lot of my minimum wage job about this lol any ways do you think I’m on the right track? 2/2 thank you!
Hi! I hope it’s okay I included all the parts of your updates. It’s so rare I get updates, let alone two updates (!!) from folks who’ve asked questions, so this feels pretty special. I was wondering if you were okay, and I’m glad you’ve sorted things out for now. I'm trying to get better at keeping up and responding more quickly, but this week got away from me.
I like this major/minor combination you’ve got here: I think international business will give you an edge as a poli sci major when you’re searching for jobs and internships. That said, if you change your mind again, that’s super normal and I’m sure it’ll be a thoughtful decision.
Going to school out-of-state can be expensive, but private scholarships are a thing, too, so I’d encourage you to look into those. I’d also recommend contacting admissions offices at the colleges you’re interested in and see what they say about financial aid opportunities for out-of-state students (like getting in-state tuition). I recommend reaching out after the start of this school year, since right now they’re focusing on this year’s incoming students. Many colleges are struggling right now, but part of that is because they’re desperate to enroll students, and it sounds like you have academic success that would appeal to them.
I do want to note that it may be worth looking into (financially stable) smaller or medium-sized colleges out-of-state, as they may be especially interested in attracting more students from out-of-state since their in-state applicant pools are smaller. Of course there are other things to consider like program quality and making connections, but it's a strategy I wanted to mention.
If you want to chat about specifics, you are welcome to email me at [email protected]. Thanks for checking in! I’m rooting for you.

School size: A literature review
by Deborah Nusche Analyst, Directorate for Education and Skills How big should schools be? Is bigger better? Or do all the best things come in small packages? For education systems, the question of how school size influences quality and efficiency has long been an important issue. It has become especially pertinent in recent decades, as fiscal pressures and a falling school population in rural areas have meant that countries are looking for the best way for their schools to be effective. A new OECD working paper on school size policies, published today, shows that there are many ways in which school size may influence learning environments. Small schools make personal contact easy and are often strongly defended by local communities, while larger schools can provide more options to meet a diverse range of interests and needs. Sometimes, due to demographic or geographical challenges, there may be little choice regarding decisions on school size. But disadvantages can be offset, whether through connecting small schools using ICT, or through providing incentives to make larger schools more attractive for teachers and students. Australia, for example, has used technology to help small schools in rural areas connect with each other through blogging, emailing and engaging in collaborative projects. This has reportedly led to students being more excited about their learning and more motivated to work. In Korea, where over a third of schools have fewer than 60 students, there has been a focus on consolidating schools in rural areas. The process involved many challenges, but due to targeted investments, many of these consolidated schools have thrived and are now attracting students even from urban areas. In a time of fiscal constraints, consolidating schools is an appealing policy option for governments under pressure to reduce spending. Large schools are often seen as more efficient than small schools: they can use facilities to full capacity, buy large amounts of materials at lower cost and hire support staff to reduce the administrative burden on teachers. But such calculations often forget about hidden costs of consolidation such as increased transportation cost and time for staff and students. There is also evidence that the student body in large schools is often divided with some students taking full advantage of the broader learning options and others not participating at all. Younger students and those from less advantaged families are more vulnerable and may disengage when lacking personalised attention. While, certainly, there is no “one size fits all approach”, there is much that can be learned from existing research and experience in different countries. This new literature review draws attention to the many factors to be considered when making decisions about school size. What are the transport and cost implications? How can interested parties become informed and engaged in the process? Will the effects of school size changes be different for differing school populations? What type of additional care would be necessary to support those affected by the change? Including such elements in the planning process will help make the full costs and benefits of school size changes transparent and support a constructive debate among stakeholders. This paper is the first in a series of literature reviews looking at the use of resources in OECD school systems to be published in the coming months.

do you regret coming to mcphs
Hhahahahaha... yes. 100% I used to think I would love a small school, but maybe it’s because of the people here, it’s just like high school... if not worse. You can’t have something in your life go wrong without everyone knowing and it’s just annoying how try hard so many of the people here are. Obviously there are some perks... very limited, but some. I just wish I went to UMASS Amherst or something, but what are you gonna do!

There are several points unto conceive but attempting select a occasional schools exclusive of the thousands of colleges that are unmanned.<\p>
Prepare Mete<\p>
The size respecting a school can make a significant impact on well-nigh new students.

Taking a latent college travel can be very helpful anon looking at schools. A under the surface tour can let students conceive what ideal facilities are available, and how those facilities could be used in contemplation of save the career goals of a student.<\p>
In Sioux Falls, big elementary schools get bigger
Josh Verges guest post
Of the hundreds of public elementary schools in South Dakota, numbers 2 and 3 in K-5 enrollment are Discovery and R.F. Pettigrew on the west side of Sioux Falls.
According to the Department of Education, Discovery had 699 students in the fall of 2012 and Pettigrew had 694, plus 84 in early childhood programming.
Only Sturgis Elementary had more, with 718 plus 12 preschoolers.
More recent numbers from the Sioux Falls School District put Pettigrew at 764 and Discovery at 716.
So, how does another 180 students sound?
A plan put forth by Superintendent Pam Homan on Wednesday would add a fifth section of classrooms at both Discovery and Pettigrew, rather than building a new elementary school next to McGovern Middle School.
Large schools are no doubt more cost-effective, but parents in general -- there are exceptions -- prefer to send their kids to a small elementary. We saw that when Homan decided to consolidate Mark Twain and Longfellow elementary schools.
If the latest plan advances, before long enrollment at Discovery and Pettigrew should approach 900 students – larger than all but eight or nine public high schools in the state.
Which raises another question: Will the Pettigrew Panthers petition up to Class 11AA football?
