SCHOOL IN A PERFECT WORLD

Here's another post where only Philomath, Oregon civilians should bother reading. It is based on my idea of what would be a perfect school in a perfect world. I should be done with these soon, so hopefully I can get back to reviews only.


 When I imagine a perfect school, I imagine not sitting in a desk with a text book in front of me. I imagine not listening to boring speeches. I imagine a set due date for all assignments, instead of separate due dates for each. I imagine a school where kids aren't unrealistically punished for overdue work. ( a D at the most. Seriously?) I imagine a school where teachers and staff actually listen to things like this. I imagine that I can write this without overusing the statement "I imagine". I imagine a school where I can learn things that are important to my future career. I imagine a school where I can have freedom to choose which classes I take in importance to my career. I imagine that I can go to a school where 59% of the assignments aren't pointless. I imagine a school where there is freedom during break to play SCP: Containment Breach without getting in trouble. I imagine a school where every teacher cares and listens to every student in his/her every class and makes sure they succeed. I imagine a school without cliques. I imagine a school where the school food is better than jail food.


I imagine that a perfect school means the above paragraph. Even though that is impossible, I believe we can work to achieve some of those things and make this school a better place. I think that teachers should be very considerate of every student. I think that is why some students fail their classes. I think that a school with certain freedoms that we don't have would encourage the students to do better. I also think that schools should not be so biased. For example, "gangster" kids are always looked down upon by staff, while there is also the "popular kids" that get everything handed to them on a silver platter. Trust me, I've been to many schools, and it's always been there. I've even been that kid once. ( It was a very small school) I think that our  school needs to focus more on helping kids achieve their goals.

  1. Great ideas. I agree there are many things we could do to improve how we treat each other.
