Just a thought. - Lando - 04-11-2007 12:41 PM
Heres my attempt at a idea. I can understand schools for the Needy,Poor,Abused etc, but how bout the kids that want to follow the paths that they love, may it be science, math, history or a little bit of everything. Lets have a Science center, a math center, History center, JUST SOME HUGE MASSIVE BUILDING, lol, but anyways you can go to the main part of the center, buy the textbook that they will go over that year, then you go into this big dome like thing, there are lots of teachers teaching groups of ppl, u can ask them any questions u want, and if you feel ur good and rdy to go, then go. or if you feel like stopping down at the history/math/science center and learn some of that stuff go ahead. No attendance, just people that want to be great in life studying what they want when they want. I know there are MANY Flaws in what i've just spouted out. But its just a thought right?

i've thought of something similiar. we should have a place which is just a free place to learn. it should be a place were minds come together to learn. share and expand on each others ideas, learn new things, experiment and just plain enjoy the process of learning that too many people have come to recognize as a punishment. i believe we would have a lot more people that are really good at what they want to do ( better doctors, scientists, writers, etc) if we had an educational facility like this today. of course i also think that it should be open to everyone and not only to the children.

This is almost exactly like the school im going into next year. lol. Only its not that big, 500 kids max, and it has 3 times you can go: 8-12. 12:30-4:30, and 5-9. Diploma is completely optional, you can just study if you want, though there is some standardized testing thanks to state rules.

that sounds like a big improvement on what i've got. it is not the ideal school because of the testing you said and other restrictions it will probably have. sounds fun though, i would like to go there. the whole diploma is optional thing, sounds to me like it is just polite way of saying, do what you want, but if you don't get your diploma, you're fucked. i hope you enjoy it though and you get a little more freedom.
