Design a Curriculum

After being in Central Regional High School for the past 4 years I have always preached about how horrible this school is. I always preached about how it could be made better and how the flaws in our system are terrbile. How unjustied the punishments are for doing nothing wrong at all. So if i were to design a curriculum i know exactly how it would be ran. Everything would be so much different then how this school is set up. This school is set up for failure and i know how to change that.



As for class scheduling goes. In high school it would defenetly be different then how it is now. Math, english, and history will obviously stay. Math is everywhere you go and you need to know how to spell and all that good stuff. And what is a country if it doesnt know it's past? Science would be an elective in Sansone High. Like come on when will 90% of us every need anything we have ever learned in science? So it would be an elective so people who do want to use it in their life can take it. There would be no spanish and other languages as classes. This is america where we speak English, want to know another language go to another country. Art and music and all the practical arts would remain electives for inspiring yourng artist at Sansone High. Gym would defenetly still be manidtory. No one wants a bunch of fat overweight unhealthy kids running around. Also I would add classes. Classes that teach you about life and how to get ready when you graduate. Like balancing check books, doing taxes, how to manage money stuff like that. Nothing really teaches us the street smarts. School is all about book smarts and thats like only teaching us half of what we need to know. Street smarts is very important to survive the real world.

As for disiplining students it would be done entirely differently. My school would be like college. If you do not come to class or school its your loss. You will be the one failing. There would be no 1hours, 2 hours, 3 and half hours. If you are late to school there would be no punishment. You could of not came at all but you decided to come and learn for the rest of the day. In my school everyone would be treated equally. So everyone gets the same punshiment for the same actions. It's not fair that one kid gets nothing for being late and another kid gets a 2 hour detention for being late. There would be no to many days out you don't graduate non sense. Like i said before if you don't come to school its your choice. It is your responsibility to make up missed work for all your classes.
