A description of my ideal school is like all schools mainly when it comes to look there would be metal detectors though by the door for safety anything can happen anywhere.There would be nice down to earth teachers tta greets you before entering your class. there would be no textbooks, just binders and pencils neede because there would only be worksheets given out to take home to study.There would be no bathroom passes when you got to go you GO!School would let out at 3 o clock!I definently agree with this.

well this school would have alot of staff just to get food from everywhere their would be alot of kids in classes cause alot of people have alot of friends and not alot of learning and teaters and no class would end or begin cause people would be in and out all the time. i dont agree with this cause even thogh it would be cool it dosent make sense and the things that are resonable just arent worth the trouble to change

After reading several of the blogs a composite school would be very intresting.A school that you could go into anytime you want would give you alot more free time.students could choose only the classes wanted and not have to take classes they have no intrest in.
ReplyDeleteAfter reading three other post comment from the school problem part 1 i realized that i disagreed highly with all three that i read....but to make it a perfect ideal school for all it mainly seems like evryone is on the same page when it comes to 4-6 months for the school year and not 8.For their to be less homewrok and more activities to help understand the subject instaed of thinking about points and grades, and also and to pick classes that you want to be in~

When choosing and reading three blogs that three people posted about the school they always wanted, I choose three that were sort of similar. The “ideal school” would have school hours lasting from 10 o’clock in the morning to 4 o’clock in the afternoon instead of 7:35am to 2:35pm. For lunch, everyone would have lunch for periods four, five, and six so that know one would skip class. Most people preferred to have only one test a month and a couple quiz a month. The school would allow people wear what ever they want, do what (listen to iPods, use cell phones, etc.), and have classes with who you want (girlfriends, boyfriends, friends, etc.). Students would come and leave school in luxurious buses, not the cheap, crappy, yellow buses. But everyone agreed to have their major class such as World Civ., Chemistry, English, etc.
ReplyDeleteIn response to this “ideal school” composite description, I mostly agree with it all. I agree with this because it pretty much corresponds to what I think an “ideal school” should be.

I read almost all the comments that other student made about the ideal school and some comments were interesting and funny. They had a lot in common like pick any classes that you want, eat anything you want, friends should be same class, and school buses should be luxury. I disagree because it’s a school and you go to school to learn not to eat food, it’s a school not a five star restaurant. I agree with nick that during lunch you could go anywhere to eat so students won’t complain about school lunch or about the people that work at the cafeteria. I also disagree with friends in same class because then nobody would pay attention in class and they would just talk and play around. Someone didn’t put their name on the comment but anyway he/she said that we should have more gym classes but not have to change, I think that’s nasty because you would be in same cloths sweating and smelly. Then everybody that has gym would be dirty and smell all day and that’s not cool. I agree with no homework and test. I disagree with luxury buses because I don’t ride buses.

I think a composite of the school experience would be Short school days and more of a break for summer vacation And that there wouldnt be any term papers or homework or projects. There would be better food for lunch and teachers wouldn't expect as much from students.
ReplyDeleteI do not agree with all of my composite . I agree that we should have a longer summer break and no projects but im ok with the lunches because I bring lunch and I think its good that teachers expect something from us. I think the school day is a bit long but not to bad if it was at a different time. If we had school start at five Pm I think it would be better for the students to concentrate because thats when teenagers function best and want to be awake.

After reading some other peoples blogs on the school problem, most people had the same general idea of the problems with the school system and how we could improve upon it. a large nimber of people said that we should be able to take the classes that we are only interested in and not have to take the other unnecessary classes that we are forced into taking. I agree with this viewpoint because I too feel like some classes are only there to waste our time especially if we are never going to use them after we graduate high school. People also said that after last year math had just become fruitless because most of the lessons in calculus and algebra 2 we will never have to use. I partially agree with this statement but at the same time I do feel it is important to finish out math all the up until we graduate especially if you are looking to become an engineer or architect. Also, people said that to make the school system better, they would have better classes to take and have the option to not take classes that you are not interested in. I agree with this because I think it would make school more enjoyable overall and less of the daily obligation that i find it to be.

The three people basically wrote the same thing. They each talked about when to go to school. They each want to go to school whenever they want. There wouldn’t be a lot of quizzes in one week and the teachers would be fare. They would want chemistry and Spanish and English. I would agree with all three of these people. I agree with the people that I read because it would be an ideal school. The school would be better to go to and I would like to go every day.

The ideal school for teens is one that is more musically based. Every teen loves music so why not take something you hate doing like learning and mix it with something you love like music. Have teachers put their lessons into song, its fun and easy to remember. Also having fun teachers such as Mr. Rendine! Taking out classes such as science and languages would be helpful to us too, unless your planning on being something that involves a lot of science then it could be an elective. Homework is something us teens just don’t have time for, and there is no point in assigning it if we are not going to do it. I think if there was enough organization and planning then this could actually work. It would be a good sense of motivation for kids to get up in the morning and go to school. This would also make kids pass school and brighten there future more and more each day. It would take a lot of planning and skill but if your in it for our education it would work!!! Amber Lovett
ReplyDeleteAbrena said some interesting things; you should be able to go home when you please the only two classes that are important should be the only major classes we have to take are math and reading. If you really think you’re going to be something else in life they should have a class for it but it is an elective, you can choose to take it if you want. Badal has a point too, students should be able to take a course they are interested in, and students don’t learn anything by doing HW, just big stress. Matt has a good point as well as Abrena and Badal, grades shouldn’t matter, that’s the main stress students face, grades, and it shouldn’t matter if you get a A or B or C or F cause that doesn’t determined whether you’re smart or not, if you get a F it doesn’t mean you dumb, and if you get a A that doesn’t mean your smart. I agree with everyone’s idea they all make sense, all those thing is what I would have said.

After reading three other blogs I found a general description for a perfect school. One thing would be to have luxury buses rather than the uncomfortable and cold buses that we have now. Also, the school would have to be more like college. We get to choose our classes and when we get to take them during the day. The teachers would have to be really hot and never give any homework because it is pointless. Tests would only be given once a month and quizzes every other week.
ReplyDeleteI agree with these ideas for the perfect school. I like the idea of not having that many tests or quizzes because they are not a good way to judge someone. Also, having really hot teachers can not a bad thing so I don’t see a problem with that. College is the closest way to being a perfect school, so having a school more like college is a step to becoming perfect.

The composite “ideal” school I came up with is very laid back. There is little or no homework at all, and only core subjects and electives. You can choose all your subjects and the teachers that teach them. You wouldn’t need to go in until 10AM and the teachers would have to stay until 11PM. You could graduate at just 10th grade, and have luxury buses pick you up and drop you off every day. You could take a 5 minute break at any point if you choose to, eat whatever you want for lunch, and you could work whenever. The teachers would always explain everything as thoroughly as possible, and nobody would fail.
ReplyDeleteThis school, honestly, sounds unbelievably fun, but very ineffective. It would probably be the most enjoyable school in the world, but it wouldn’t “root out” those certain people who wouldn’t do as well in school otherwise. It may make students unprepared for the real world problems. It would still be incredibly fun having all classes chosen by you, with whoever you want to be in them, it would be a blast, hahaha.

My idea of the ideal school was the school which permits its students to study whatever they want regardless of the required subjects such as English or P.E. And many comments were stated that school should allow more freedom than now to be a perfect school. Tyler Dillon said the perfect school would be a school where it is more like a college. Zach Cole said he wants to revise the time that students would arrive and depart from school. And Arnitia Moten said a perfect school to her might be taking classes that she wants to take or have high interest in. So I defined ‘ideal school’ as a school which lets its students to learn what they want and develop their talents without any forcing from their school.
ReplyDeleteHowever, I also think the ideal school we have been discussing might not be a real school. Students also learn responsibility and regulation in school. If one goes to school whenever he wants and he does whatever he wants, he wouldn’t be able to learn what is right or moral in school which is also called ‘pre-society’. He will lose his morality and worse, he can be a criminal, too. Nonetheless I also think it would be a great school if I can go whenever I want and learn only whatever I want, school regulations such as being on time, doing homework, or taking responsibility for what you have done are really important to be learned when students are young teenagers. Therefore, I disagree because I think students need to learn what is moral or right in school

My ideal school would be like a college. From 1st to 9th grade you would take the basic subjects, math, English, social studies, and science. After the 9th grade you decide what to want to do as your career. Learning about rocks and how to measure a triangle helps no one but a person that would like to be a contractor or a scientist. It has not effect on me because I don’t want to be neither. Ater the 9th grade you take your major and move on with your life get a job and have a happy family. That’s a perfect school to me.
