If the problems are at the top of the list, why hasn't anything been done about it yet? Creating smaller
highschools will not make anything better since there is no money to fund these schools. Teachers
may have smaller classroom sizes but where is the money going to come from to build these schools?

Lets not forget the diversity among students and staff. A large high school brings in students of all races
and ethnicities. This is a great way to bring diversity into the classroom and how to educate students
that we need to respect peoples backgrounds and their opinions. Especially if they are different than
their own.

I love the thought of asking students opinions! In another class I am reading Fires in the Bathroom by
Kathleen Cushman. The book is talking about issues in the school and inside the classroom and
student's thoughts, ideas, and opinions are quoted through every chapter. Very insightful.

In every class i have ever been in, teachers ask this question and students never ask for them to
explain again... interesting??If students do not get something they need to speak up. Other students
probably have the same question. Asking questions does not make students look dumb, it makes them
look smart! Teachers are not mind readers.

I believe that the problem here is not the school, students, legislature, or even the teachers. Its the
programs that prepare teachers! They do not teach them WHAT they are going to be teaching. Its
extremely frustrating.

Life is a test itself.. Students need to be prepared for anything that life throws at them, including tests.

If they do not go to class, how can you expect them to attend saturday school? Just like kicking a
student out of class for being disruptive is sometimes not the best punishment, giving them more work
may be a good idea in theory, but if they are not doing their work in the first place, theyre not going to
do the extra work.

Students are able to get involved and attend meetings to change things. I think they just do not know
how to go about it.

I love this article. The idea of getting student's input and thoughts about problems occuring at school is
a great way to make students feel important and respected and of course, try and fix the issues that
are current in an effective way.
