Does School Have to Be so Serious?

In the process of creating my own High School I would look at how the students are learning. From personal experience of going to a normal public school, I know that sitting in a classroom all day long did nothing. It kept me uninterested and not wanting to learn. Some students like that setting. Personally I don’t. In my school I would make it an environment that the students could choose what learning techniques they like best. I would make it a fun environment for students to learn while also making sure the students stay on track. My school is called Vamp High School, I choose this name because I felt it sounded energetic. It’s a small school around 300 students. I choose to have few students so that the teaching staff can be more involved with their students. What really is brilliant about Vamp is that the colors of the building are wild. I did the building in all different colors of neon to show excitement and fun that I want to bring into the topic of learning. In my school we are going to have the normal classes you must take to graduate high school. One unique way on learning in my school is the students can choose how they would like to learn because not all individuals are the same. Ways the students will be able to choose from are lecture, hands-on, solitary, or social. I feeling by letting the students choose how they want to learn will keep interested in what they’re learning about. My students would have no homework because some students may just copy off of each other and that isn’t helping that person at all. I would expect the students to study at home on their own. Therefore, I would have the teachers assign in class a worksheet once a week that contains information they had discussed that week. And whichever... ... middle of paper ... ... as their own pace I feel will help in the long run. Like I stated above students in normal high schools if they happen to get in trouble they get a detention or whatever punishment and move on. I feel that kind of discipline does nothing for the student or fix the issue at all. If I could choose I would definitely go to the school I created. I feel as if choosing the way you want to learn you will learn more efficiently. If students are able to have a personal connection with their teachers they may go to them in time of need or desperation. Rather than getting in trouble go to your teacher to talk to them more as a mentor or person to get advice from. Overall, I feel schools need to start paying attention to their students’ needs, other than just making sure they pass tests. By guiding students in the right direction they will become successful lifelong learners.
