[COLOR="Green"]In my opinion, I feel that this is what is good in terms of school.
1. Treating students as if they are people, not just 5 year old who need to have stuff given to them. When teachers both joke around with students but also be hard asses about things like doing work and making sure everyone does things, that's good. Kids need to have a factor where the teacher is supposed to be respected, but is also able to be thought of as a "fun" guy, and not just pushes students over and over.
2. Allowing kids to get more sleep. I understand completely that after-school activities getting out in the dark would be bad, especially for sports, but getting up at 5:30 every day can be very counterproductive, especially if the work is difficult. And this is coming from someone who fell asleep in Spanish II (First Period) at least 20 times last year, and still managed to get a B.
That's really all I can think of atm. I actually really like school, both as a social and learning experience. I'll gladly enjoy any criticism.[/COLOR]
