Blog Post 9


There are many things that go into a good school but I think some of the most important things are having students engaged, good student-teacher relationships, and a well-rounded school. When creating my own school I would choose to have it as a liberal arts school. It is very important for kids to be well rounded especially at younger ages. Once students get into high school I feel they should be able to take most of their classes in the concentration of their choice but should be required to take classes in all subjects so they are able to keep developing their skills to be a well-rounded student. This goes back to keeping students engaged. Not every student is going to be engaged into every subject but, it is the teachers’ job to keep the students engaged. The better relationship a teacher has with their students the better they will be able to do this. In order to keep students engaged the teachers need to create activities that involved the students’ interests. One way to connect to the students interests and get to know them better is to create a feeling of a safe school where they can come and feel open to be completely themselves. There is a lot to keep in mind when creating a school and sometimes it is hard for a teacher or administrators to keep all the different things in balance.
