HW 51

school is just another milestone in life you could say, another stepping stone that you have to go through. It also helps you curve what you plan to do in life or want you want to do in life in some ways as well. Sometimes students complain about how we shouldn't have to go to school and how its a waste of time, which there are some days i feel the same way but if you think about it if you never went to school you would never really learn how to read and how to write. which would limit alot of the things you could do in life. One thing that some schools do well at least at our school i feel that it does that is it makes us think for ourselves and also lets as make smart choices later in life. In this paper i will show some of the postives and negetive things about school.



one thing that i dont fully agree on is the time school starts.Since kindergarten I was always forced to wake up early to go to school which I never figure out why. Everytime I have to wake up for school usally the first peroid class I feel pretty sleepy still and awake but not awake at the sametime. I think that if school were to start later that it would not only help people who struggle geting to school on time but it also might help people grades. One school did a survey to see what the students think and what they got back was that if school were to start later they might be able to in joy it more and also it would help there grades. Another piece of research that I heard about was how the brain is not that activey tilll one time, like your brain would be awake but not fully and maybe that's I feel a little lost in my first peroid class cause my brain is not fully activey and how the later classes I feel that I do better because I feel more awake and my brain probily is more activy later in the day than the morning.

The other flaw i think that alot of school tend to have is the students dont feel motivated to learn. i think that the reason to this is because sometimes what teachers would do is they would just teach from the textbook, which alot of students would find really boring and would not find the need to learn. i think Mr. Fanning said it best when he said that our generation was raised up on computers and all these electronics and the way the school system is set up doesnt really fit with how we grew up which makes alot of the things we do in school boring because we cant really relate to it. if the school system were to change a few things than i think more students would be motivated to learn.

what this article is talking about is sort of a guide to help teachers in some way. because it talks about how some students are motivated to learn and than how there are some students that need motivated from the teachers. more in the article it starts to list some ways that teachers can do it.

this article talks abouts how school should start later and in the article they did a survey and it showed that if school were to start later that students who find it hard to wake up in the morning well get better grades because they would have more energy to do that work.
