Umm... procrastination sucks butt!!

anyone wanna read? Edit? hopefully someone will see this before I have to leave to turn it in.

"Ideal School" - Describe your idea of the perfect school. Tell your reader what you think would be the perfect what way to educate students. Tell how you would organize a high school to make sure students would learn and enjoy learning. Be specific!

Guidelines:
no abbreviations (except Mr., Mrs., Dr, exc.)
do NOT use the would you in the paper
do not begin sentences with "but, because, and , well, so"
do not use slang "OK, great, dad, mom, guy, gal, gonna"
do not use signs such as &, $, %
only use "so" as an adjective, never start or join clauses with it.

“Ring, ring” goes the bell. It’s nine o’clock in the morning on day one in my first year as principal of a high school. Since I receive authority the school I have changed the hours of school, have changed the curriculum, and have also had details made custom for school dress wear. I remember when I was younger and heard students all around me “if I ran the school they would be so many objects I would change!” Let us see how our day plays out throughout today and hopefully it will become a success!

The Mission statement of my school delivers the message: “Bringing academic and personal excellence to those who strive for only the best.”

First, I have significantly changed the hours of the school schedule and even the school day. The students will report to their first period class at nine o’clock and stay in this class until nine fifty-eight and report to second period at five after ten. Staying in second until eleven twenty-three. Next is lunch which will be held from the time second is released until twelve thirty. Students report to third at twelve thirty-five and be held until one twenty-eight. Fourth is from one thirty-five to two twenty-eight. Fifth is taught between two thirty-five and three twenty-eight. Finally sixth is from 3 thirty-five until four o’clock when school is let out. Thus meaning school hours are still seven hours a day just from nine to four. I believe that is one reason why students are late for school majority of the time, they oversleep. The school doors are opened at eight o’clock though and between eight and nine is the time throughout the day when club meetings will happen, and also during lunch. During first period there is an extra five minutes for a dress code check and during second period there will be twenty-five minutes of silent reading because I believe that all students need to be literate and it is shown that some students are behind, teachers will also be required to read during this time. Finally sixth period is only twenty-five minutes long and it will be for handouts, grade cards, and the time where if announcements are long or is more “speechy” it will be given during this time.

Second, I would definitely change the curriculum that each student would have to take. I can not change what the state requires, but I can change the requirement of other courses. With the first day of school to the last day, each student is responsible for their work and what they make of their life. As a freshman the students will have to think of careers that they may what to pursue as they take the state required classes, plus one elective class if they wish. As a sophomore the students will be required to pick two career courses in which they feel they are interested in and take courses the state requires, courses that relate to their career choices and two electives if that wish. Next, as a junior the student will have taken the act that past summer if they plan on going to college and they will have one college credit course of they have a high enough grade point average. If not, they will take courses that the high school offers relating to they two careers choices they made the year before, unless they have changed. they are also allowed three electives. Finally during the senior year each student will pick their finally career plan and take courses that revolve around that course and are required to take one college credit class to get them ready more efficiently for college classes compared to high school. They also have the choice of four elective courses. Though if students, after the first semester are failing two or more of any class they will be required to drop the elective, an elective is a fun class given to each student for their work and if they do not put the time and effort to pass into their work, they will not and do not deserve a fun free class.

Last, I will make minor changes in the dress code. My rules are more or less a free will tactic. The requirements that I have though are if one is wearing skirts, dresses, or shorts they are to be at least 2 inches below ones finger tips, and that is not have the students pulls them down so they seem long enough. For shirts they are to have sleeves and must be long enough to cover a the belt loops. For writing on the shirts, each student needs to be responsible enough to know what is right and what is wrong. With this they are give one offence that is free, only given during the first week of school and to freshmen. No hats, pajamas, electronics and each students cell phone must stay in the locker and if any student is caught breaking any of these rules, the consequences are not very nice. On the students first mishap they will get their phone taken up and get a school designed uniform to wear for a week. Second offense phone taken up and the student gets to wear the uniform for a month! It is “three strikes you’re out” on the third time a student is caught they will have their phone taken up all year and also get to wear the school uniform all year! I will not make this school wide though, I do not see in punishing the innocent for others misbehaving. The uniform will have black slacks, black loafers to be worn with black socks, a white t-shirt or long sleeve white shirt, and a red vest that has the school name on the front and a big logo of the mascot on the back. It will not be a pleasant wear. Each student will once again have a dress code check every morning at the beginning of first period and will be sent to the office if not in code.

As one can see, I would probably not be a liked person, as ruling a school, but I would make it fair and very “cool” in some ways. The schools hours would be changed from eight fifteen until three fifteen to nine until four. I believe that students would like that. I would change the curriculum hoping to make it hardly for them, but get them really ready for college in the same sense, not let them be able to take mounds of easy classes and get into college and become a drop-out, Finally I would have my opinions on dress code, and they seems to be the part that students would not like me for, but I do not want to see other peoples bodies, and I’m sure I’m not the only one. “Ring, ring” there is the final bell lets go start the first day of my life as a high school principal.
