When students hear the word school many of the same thoughts come to mind. Students stay up until well into the wee hours of the morning doing homework, and wake up around 7, to get to classes at 8:15. Students are forced study and take strenuous test. Those test are suppose to judge the knowledge of what kind of smarts a student has. But there isn’t one test to see what kind of smarts a student has. The system is flawed, and could be better.

School should be a bridge to a students dreams and goals in life. School should help to create an environment where students can learn to be a critical thinker.

School should not be known as a place a fear, but a safe haven. One of the worries of a student shouldn’t be, they can’t come to school because of a bully. Or they can’t come to school because of an unfinished project or didn’t study for a
test. The only true worry of a student should be how could they add their own unique skills to the learning community.

 By school being a bridge, students will be given the tools to succeed in their journey of life. They will have teachers who keep them on the right path. Teachers will push them by setting obstacles to challenge students to grow as a
person. Such as writing a 2fer every other week, add opinions to class discussion, and pushing to understand and analyze new ideas. As a student reaches the end of each challenge, they will learn something about themselves. They will learn
what is the best way for them to show their skills. Whether it’s drawing a picture, answering a math question, or just expressing their opinions in poems.

Once a student can find what their skills are they can start to find a subject or field that best suits their personalities. It will be the schools job to give the students the necessary classes to give them a basic level of knowledge. Such as math, reading, and the history of the world. These way students will have an idea of what they are good at, and the same time the knowledge to gain access to the dreams they want to achieve.

School will help the society greatly. The students making choices on what they want to be when they grow up. The same students that fail a math test or are called a failure could be the next mayor, governor, secretary of state, president, or even the next teachers of young minds. Those students will hold the fate of the world in the palm of their hands. Since, the school system will be focused on creating the best environment for students to become their own person. Students will be given the chance to learn how to take responsibility of their actions, by being given a lot of freedom and seeing how they can handle it. The system prepares students for the world. Students will be taught how to tell right from wrong. So, when they go out into the world, there will be a lease likely chance of them becoming corrupted by greed or self-pity. They focused on the main task at hand making the world a better place.

This vision of school will not need test that judge students knowledge on a subjects such as math and vocabulary. Instead their knowledge and character will judge them. They will be judged by the choices and decisions they make. If they make mistakes they will be judged by what they learn from them. By these test the students will learn life long skills. This way student will have book and street smarts. Students will have the tools to go out in the world and be trusted with the fate of world, and its well being.
