Eeek! High School!

   I asked my parents for advice on high school  and they said that high school was a very hard time for both of them; they both wish they were able to do more.

This is my list of thing my parents taught me as I was growing up, just side comments that stuck:

Don't do drugs
Don't drink
Don't trust strangers
Don't take candy from strangers
Be Respectful

Try to be safe
You are responsible for what you do
And most importantly..

Don't touch the stove while It's on...

Now this is the more deep advice they gave me in summary:
Do as much as you can, without doing to much, because you only live once, YOLO! (really my dad said this) and that we should get to experience everything while it is still possible.   
 My mom said I should go to ALL the dances and have a good time with all my friends because after high school, you never know if you will see your friends anymore, we all go off to college, get degrees, and start our adult lives, Independently. 
  
 My Dad told me that when you reach high school people often think that they are there solely to get an education. He wants me to learn but he also wants high school to be filled with memories for me to glance back on and remember for the rest of my life.

   I wish my parents told me more about their school years before now because, as I listen to them, I begin to hear how different school was for them and how privileged students are in school today. I want to go to high school and follow their advice to try as much as I can. 

Thank you Mom and Dad!

My Perfect School

      

   In my perfect school there would be 

  Alike most other teenagers I am not so fond of school. The Perfect school for me would be a school that had options. A school with no bullying and no stress, or a school people would not mind going to. 

    In my perfect school students would have to go to one of each: Social Studies, Math, Science, Health/PE, Language Arts, an Elective class, and a free period. Students would have to go to these classes but they would not have any certain order or schedule, they could go to whichever class they wanted to go to next. Remember this is just my idea of a perfect school. This way if a student needed more time for homework, they could go to the free class period instead of having a free class after the class they needed to do work for. 

   In my school there would be NO bullying, NO discrimination, and everyone could be respectful. I don't know if this would even be possible, but in my school, it would be. With not having to deal with bad behavior there would be less punishments. 

I would also eliminate the grading rubric, people would get grades but the grade would reflect the amount of progress the students made from their previous assignment. There would be no punishment for late work or tardies, being a student I know how hard it is to finish homework if you have sports or other things you do after school. So that is why he teachers in my school would have assistants/student teachers that the students could talk to for individual, one-on-one study time. The teacher's assistants would be there to  work with the students that need a little extra help. 

These are just some ideas for a perfect school, if you have any more Ideas or disagreements  please leave them in the comments.
