“A Change in Charter Education”

          People have been criticizing education, with their own opinions, however I have 4 main points that can help strengthen the school’s education system. One point is, being able to have a late start every Monday. Another point is more activities for the freshman’s and seniors, more foreign language classes, and more AP classes. With these changes, students, teachers, and the schools education system would have a more quality education, and more fun will be distributed.

            Monday’s are the worst days when the weekend is over and it is time to go back to school. This is because, during the weekend students tend to go to sleep when they want and wake up when they want to. For example, students tend go to sleep late on Sunday and when it is time for school on Monday, they are either late to school or they do not go at all. So to help students bounce back on track from the weekend, schools should have a late start every Monday; meaning school starts at 9:45 instead of 8:00, that way EVERYONE will be at school ON TIME. Also students would be able to adjust to waking up at a certain time on Mondays, “The body be trained before the mind”. This means that, if the body is trained then it will become a habit for the body to adjust into just about anything.

            This then leads to charter school having more activities for the freshmen’s and seniors. To keep them active in their studies, freshmen’s are practically new to the school and are unaware of their surroundings. Bring more activities for freshmen’s will help them be more excited about their education and will help them get to know their classmates better. However, for the seniors it’s there last year, so they should be able to have fun yet learn at the same time. “Amusement is for the sake of relaxation . . . enjoyment is universally acknowledged to contain an element not only for the noble but of the pleasant, for happiness is made up of both”.

            As for Foreign Language; a class that needs to be taken for at least two years to meet college requirements, this is needed in EVERY school no exceptions. Foreign language is a very important class, whether it’s Spanish, Italian, Sign language, or French. It is good to know more than one language especially if you want to travel out of the country, and I grantee that students will meet someone in their life time that speaks one of these languages. “They should begin to practice early . . . when they are older they may be spared . . . thanks to knowledge which they acquired in their youth”. This means that children should be able to learn things when they are young, so that they will be able to consume whatever is being taught to them. However those who are older, and did not get the opportunity may not be judged but be spared.
