The ideas that appealed to me the most on the new school PowerPoints were incorporating everyday life skills in high schools in order to better prepare students for the real world. I also liked that children would be able to choose their own schedule. At the high school that I went to, our schedule was already made out for us. We had no say so in what we wanted to take. I also liked how kids would work in groups to better their social skills which I believe is very important. Even though group work can be difficult at times, because you have to work on other people’s time, the experience is great. It gives you a chance to work with new people and maybe establish new friendships. The time schedule was nice too. A few groups wrote there would be fifty minute classes and an hour lunch which I think is needed for high school students. At my schools we only had twenty-five minutes for lunch which everyone absolutely hated. We had to rush out of class, fight for microwaves, and be done eating all within twenty-five minutes. Being able to leave freely is also something that I really liked. I still think you should be respectful to the teacher and not try to leave when they are teaching. One of the ways we could try to incorporate more group work in our class is by not only allowing the students to pick the groups, but also having the teacher pick for us. Maybe we could also work with some of the people from the 10:00 class so that we could get new perspectives on things.
