At Anacostia Senior High School we have a lot of problems．We have students suspended and we have low test grades．I think this school is in need of improvement．The reasons why I believe this school needs improvement are that children are getting suspended and missing out on class work，students are failing，and the school is dirty．

The first reason why this school needs improvement is that children are getting suspended and missing out on class work．Students should not get suspended because it's like a vacation to them．They will not change their ways．Instead of putting them out of school for suspension，we should have them in school．In that way，students can still have good grades．

The second reason why I believe this school needs improvement is that students are failing．If you come to school every day you shouldn't fail．I can't blame it all on the students；it is the teachers' fault also．Some teachers do not let students in the class．This school needs tutors．If students had tutors their grades could improve．

The third reason why I believe this school is in need of improvement is that it is dirty．Who wants to walk into a dirty school every day? I don’t! If students help out，the building will stay clean．There should be no writing on the walls or eating in the halls．We need to treat our schools like we treat our homes．

These are my reasons why this school needs improvement．If we do these things we can get good grades．have a nice looking school，and students will improve their grades．By doing these things we can also have the most decent school on the other side of the fiver．

According to a new education survey, student safety has become a big problem. Nearly 50 percent of the students say they are worried about robbery on the way to and from school. Now in many big cities in China，some schools have taught an unusual lesson. self-protection；Students like this lesson as there are no exams or boring classes. And they can learn how to save lives and know how to stop danger before it really happens.
Chen Haoyu，a teacher at Beijing No. 25 Middle School and a self-protection expert，gives young students advice on how to deal with danger．
If you are robbed, keep calm. If you cannot cry for help or run away, give the robber your money, try to remember what the robber looks like and tell the police.
If you are in a traffic accident and if you are hurt by a car, take down the car number；if it is a bicycle, try to contact your parents before you let the rider go. This is because you don’t know how seriously you are hurt.
Don’t stay in high places and keep away from trees if it is raining hard and there is lightning.
Get away as fast as you can when there is a fire．Put wet things on your body and try to find an exit. Do not take the lift!    
If someone is drowning and you can’t swim, don’t get into the water. Cry out for help.
Remember that danger is never as far away as you think. Take care of yourself at all times!
