  3. schools just push us to hard and what they need to do is give us some more hands on stuff and keep us wanting to come to school

  4. Yes! You cannot make a student learn faster by throwing information at him

  5. I prefer text book centered over open discussion, but hands on activities like labs in science aren't bad either.

  7. I wish everyone would be able to study how they want to study. This way kids can actually learn the things they like! And be able to switch at any time.

  8. School right now seems to be so worthless I can count probably 3 classes right now during those hours we either do nothing at all or have a discussion on stupid crap... After doing that everyday it tends to get pretty boring and doesn't make us kids want to come to that class

  9. I do believe that schools try to hard for us to learn. For example, making us hit the books or cramming us with so much information is overwhelming.Hands-on and slower usually works best.

  10. I think schools should monitor how fast some kids are learning and put them on a faster harder track and the slower kids teach them at their pace... The catch of most online school is the "work at your own pace"... why can't we do that in our schools?

  11. Teaching everyone the same thing at the same time is wrong. People learn differently and in different ways. It may seem wrong to some people but I think students should be divided into different groups that learn the same way they do. Some students are able to fly through subjects and some struggle with others. They should not be in the same class together.

  12. ya schools are pushing everyone to try and learn at the same rate but that just aint gonna happen some people learn faster than others so the schools just need to ease off a little

  13. Honestly as a senior. Its obvious that most not all teachers are getting just as lazy as us and just handing our grades out. Last week was my first test i actually had to study for in over a year.

  14. Schools are trying to get more and more technology involved with school and maybe could benefit if they knew had to do incorporate it. but for us its ten times more distracting then anything. go backto books.

  15. School makes so many rules that they know people. Won't follow that it is not even fun to learn or even go to school.
