EXTRA CREDIT: 20 Things Students Want the Nation to Know About Education

Hi everyone!

Here is your next extra credit assignment, worth up to five points toward your Quarter 1 grade:

Read THIS ARTICLE about 20 things students want their teachers to know, then come up with your own list of 20 things you wish your teachers did differently. Remember to be considerate (I'm a teacher!), and be realistic. If you could change the way teachers taught, what would you want them to do differently?

Write your list of 20 things (just like the one in the article) in a comment below, and remember to include your first and last name. If you cannot leave a comment, e-mail your list to me at marcellogstar@gmail.com. 

Be creative! :)

    1. Teachers should be more leaniant with family emergancys
    2. Edline should be for students not parents.
    3. Teachers should offer more chances for extra credit on end of quarter grades.(like miss. marcello)
    4. School should be fun for kids not boring
    5. teachers should use better learning tools for students like for history the online computer show/anime Hetalia
    6. Every student learns different so teachers should teach in different ways
    7. along with # 6 then teachers should be more leniant with how some students dont learn well.
    8. High school should prepare us more for college.
    9. anyone who wants to should be able to enter ib programs no matter the grades because were in school to learn not know!
    10. teachers should allow a different student to teach the class (somthing to do with the class obviously)once a week and get a grade for it. this is optional though.
    11. more hands on learning in some classes
    12. More projects to boost grades and for fun
    13. more preperation for major tests
    14. more preperation for real life
    15. more choices for basic clases
