We live in a country where we pride ourselves on freedom and the right to be an individual, school should be the place where that starts. We as students believe that we should have more creative arts classes, more community field trips and better physical education. These classes would help expand our learning past what we have been taught for many years.
One thing we would like to improve in schools would be more community field trips. By going on community field trips we would be able to take advantage of the learning opportunities in our community. Not only will students be able to be out in the community but they will also be having hands on learning experiences that will get students more interested in learning. Going out into our neighborhoods will open our minds to the education around us. By witnessing the education around us students will also be able to witness our enviorment and ways to improve it.
Speaking of improvements, obesity has become the number one cause of death in the U.S. and now more than ever physical education has become just as important as mental education. In order for all students to be able to participate in physical activities we need to improve the equipment to fit the capabilities of all students. In order to make this happen we need a comfortable facility to fit the different capabilities of each student in order to create a safe environment. Improving out physical education programs and facilities will result in healthy and ready to learn students.
The perfect example of a ready to learn individual is Leonardo Da Vinci he is the perfect example of how art and drama bring out the strongest intelligences within us. Bringing in more creative arts classes will expand students learning past Basic English and arithmetic. Drama and art classes help to teach most students about geometry, literature, culture and social skills. Studies show that most students learn better when they get to be hands on and physical. So adding more creative arts classes would improve students’ abilities to learn. They also absorb more knowledge working with their peers rather than just their teachers, and while in these arts classes they will be able to experience that. Think of these creative arts classes as the first flower of spring, the symbol of more flowering opportunities ahead.
Please know that as students we will go to great lengths to have these goals met weather that takes fundraisers or any type of event to raise money. Keep in mind we cannot do this on our own. The educational goals and improvements that we have mentioned, such as more community field trips, better physical education and more creative arts classes, will certainly exceed the learning methods that have been used to for such a long period of time. We have learned that there are a variety of different intelligences and we doubt you want to allow yourself to feel like you have been apart of depriving us from finding ours. So we ask you please consider our ideas and help us to transform them into reality.
