The school I would like to create is a school that puts more of a focus on the student’s future then just on the present. The system would be to have the teachers and students keep a log of what they are good at and what they like to do from the beginning. They need to save everything and once a week meet with a counselor to talk about what they like to do and what theymight like to do. This school would also have a wide variety of classes andcourses. There would be the regular classes like English and math but afterfreshman year you would get to choose what type of that class you would like.That way you can get to know what you like earlier.  If you are a student who is better in the arts then youwould belong in the arts department of the school. Your math might be algebraand geometry but with more of a focus on buildings as the examples and focalpoint.  You might also be moreinterested in Theatre or film. Then you might have a Shakespeare class or book to film class as your English class to understand not only the text, but also the transfer to film. This way you won’t have a class that you feel you haven’t a need for.

 This is good for the individual because it not only helps them to discover what they might like to do in their future but they also get to experience new things and have the opportunity todo so.  In this schools system they will have a record of everything they have done from the beginning and someone to help them figure out what is best for them if they have a hard time a makingdecisions. They will also have exposure to many different things so that they will be able to make that decision.

This particular school would also be very good for society becauseit would help kids become completely aware of what they want to peruse (or at least closer then they might be otherwise) in college and what not. This is also good because it keeps kids interested in their education and would meanless dropouts and less teen illegalities.

My vision of school prioritizes helping students find what they like and what they are good at and turning that into a life. It values thestudents opinion and their feelings and lets them take charge of their studentcareer as well as giving them good advice and guidance in the right direction.It focuses on the arts, maths, English, engineering and anything else that might be important to students. It does follow some of the requirements ofother schools in terms of what is needed but it bends it to fits its students needs.

The differences that I would see in the structure of my school and a “traditional” school would probably be how students spend their day or do homework.  They may not always be in the building depending on what they do and their class times may vary. But I think in other aspects as of discipline and things like announcements and suchw ould be the same. There should always be some structure whether it is a specialty school or traditionally school because it helps students stay focused.
