<p>I just started thinking about this on the bus the other day trying to seclude myself from all these loud and obnoxious middle schoolers -.-...wish I had a car. /offtopic</p>
<p>Here is what I would do...
-Go into school around 9am and leave at 4ish. Right now I go in at 8am and leave at 3pm.
-Block scheduling
-More foreign languages, all we have is Spanish, French, and Latin...and they are removing Latin as I am told. No APs or Honors either for them either. </p>
<p>How about you?</p>
<p>I would like to be able to stay at school overnight … so I wouldn’t ever be tardy :p. AKA I want to convert my school into a boarding school.</p>
<p>-Start school at 9 and end at 4 (currently my school starts a 7 and ends at 2 -_-’’)
<p>better teachers</p>
<p>I like the sound of 9 to 4 too. I would have better teachers, more interesting clubs that actually do stuff, and I would make our football team better (we suck!).</p>
<p>Block scheduling would be great, IMO</p>
<p>Kick out everyone with below a 90 average and therefore have a school population of about 40-50.</p>
<p>^lol

<p>More students
Smarter Teachers
More stringent requirements for class placement. (I hate having lazy, unintelligent kids in my AP classes)…</p>
<p>Smaller class sizes
Ability to fire bad teachers and replace them with good ones (no teacher’s unions)
Get rid off non-core class graduation requirements (career/technology, arts, PE, health…)
Allow independent study AP credit</p>
<p>I would kidnap my teaching staff and have parties everyday.</p>
<p>-Make an honors section for foreign language levels I-III. They’re all regular and full of dip****s. The pre-req grade to the regular foreign language classes would be a C, whereas the honors would be a B or an A.
-Start funding to establish more rigorous and prestigious extracurriculars. We don’t have NHS, Science Olympiad, Science Bowl, Mu Alpha Theta, or any of that stuff here.
-Remove Health requirement for those who have taken Biology.
-Allow for AP Chemistry and AP Biology to both be available every year. They alternate every year at my school.
-Establish AP Physics C.</p>
<p>–Don’t make gym required (though gym is required by the state) and therefore cut half of the PE department.
–Kick kids out who are frequently truant, don’t care at all, and are failing the majority of their classes (people with learning disabilities excepted)
–Less funding for sports and pointless technology items (like iPads), and more money for the arts and core classes.
–Get rid of those gawd-awful hall monitors who assume all the students are criminals.
–More variety in AP/Honor classes.</p>
<p>^^ Less funding for sports and more for arts and core classes? No thanks.</p>
<p>Our school does major funding only for boys lacrosse. Everything else is pretty much ignored.</p>
<p>Create some sort of rule where the number of bad grades received does not necessarily reflect negatively on the teacher. I’ve had teachers say about 3 weeks prior to the end of the semester, “For those of you that are failing, I’ll be giving many bonus opportunities now and if you put forth effort and show me that you’re trying, I’ll pass you.” It makes me so angry, but it’s because if the teachers have students who fail, the teachers can get in trouble for causing the school’s rating to drop. People who don’t deserve to pass are passing. People who don’t deserve to graduate are graduating. And it’s terrible.</p>
<p>Also, I’d make my school offer AP courses at the school instead of only having them online. Then I might not be the only student in the entire school taking an AP class.</p>
<p>I wish my school had less funding for random things, too. The roof is leaking, yet they bought two iPads that are just used for games.</p>
<p>I would move my school closer to my house, next to where our ‘linked’ boys school is located. Therefore, most classes are single sex still, but we can see each other at lunchtime, we get to use their better facilities, and less popular classes can mix so there are enough people to do them.
This would mean I wouldn’t have to take the train to school, I’d be able to take food tech and I could do further maths in school :)</p>
<p>Get rid of the goddamn teachers union and therefore dispose of all the incompetent tools that call themselves teachers. So basically about half of the teachers.</p>
<p>I would give it more money. Lol Our school is so old and run down.</p>
