I think that school is better than home school. School is better because we don’t have homework. School also lets us see our friend. Home school is boring and not fun. School also give us a fun place to play.

If I were going to improve the school, I would make the school tack punishment more serious, and they should be able to hold people back if they are not able to meet the requirements.

I would like to propose allowing students in 9th grade and up be allowed to trade school classes in the afternoon. This would help students prepare to enter the job market directly from high school.

School is important to the general public, but on the individual level school may not seem important, however learning is important. Learning is essential. Learning is something you’re going to do for the rest of your life, so you better learn how to do it. School is set up to teach you things, but it should be set up to teach you how to learn. It needs to teach you how to learn because when you teach yourself how to learn, that opens doors to whatever you want to do in the future.
