School more interesting!

First, we need to ask the school what do they want to change. We need the public opinion of the school and decide what to do next. The students have the right to suffrage for what they want. Peer groups also influence a teen’s behavior and if their friends say they’re going to ditch school, well the teen is going to do it too. We need to create more creative ideas to at least engage students into the learning of any class.

     Some of the ideas I have are that teens have an interest in always seeing bright and colorful pictures in literacy. It always captures their attention and it would probably work. Also, teachers should consider and thoroughly analyze their own classroom approach. Rather than just talking and teaching a boring lesson, teachers should make the classroom material relevant to students’ lives.  This does not mean that they should teach entire lessons about American Idol or Twilight. Rather, teachers should get to know their students and their interests and incorporate them here and there in their lessons in a way that abides by the curriculum time frame and guidelines. That would probably make school a whole lot better.

     Finally, teachers should keep a journal or notebook detailing the successes and failures of each lesson. If a lesson was a great success and achieved its targets, then teachers should document why it did. At the same time, if the lesson failed miserably, teachers should note why it did not achieve that day’s goals. But before we could do that, we need to do a sample, so we know it works for sure.
