I was watching the show All American, and a high school in the show is being converted into a magnet school, and I wanted to know what that meant. Thanks for explaining!
I attended a magnet school in grade school in my hometown and thank god my children can do the same based on our local lottery. We've been waiting a year just about. :)
Those sound awesome. Although I was in school gifted // talented classes in various places in north carolina (public schools // military base schools) and virginia (public schools), magnet schools never existed where i lived. I thoroughly enjoyed my science and applied math classes and would have likely enjoyed such a school. Good luck!
All School Teachers should work 12 months a year. When classes are not in session, Teachers could do Administrative work and perform other tasks, based on their skill-pool attributes. In the long run, this would save School Districts money in that they wouldn't have to hire as many people to perform non-teaching jobs. Physical plant duties could also be done in that manner. Simplistically what better way to fix the furnace, than by a Shop Teacher with help from Industrial Arts Students (if in session)? Schools being self-sufficient, will minimal exceptions, is not only good & practical education, but more cost effective & easing the tax burdens on residents of the District. Any to be more cost-effective to a School District, WITHOUT compromising the Educational standards for the students, would be a feather in the cap for the learning process. School Districts, based on their relative student body size, should not have to have an Assistant Principal in EACH school building. They should travel back & forth between the schools, on an as-needed basis. Another and even more practical cost-cutting measure was mentioned at the onset of this writing. The idea of utilizing School Teachers all year long would be a PROFOUND way of Districts getting more-bang-for-the-buck. Hypothetical situation: If a Teacher was employed by a School District for 40 years, they only actually performed 30 years of work. Another much-needed change, for School Districts in general, would be to contour sessions based on the local weather. In other words, in School Districts that ensure harsh winters, have the three-month-off sessions then. It would not only be more practical with respect to not having snow days or putting students & bus drivers at risk, but also taking away the necessity to have so much time off for the Holidays. It would be a win-win situation for all. I'm surprised this has never been implemented in the past?
Hi! I was thinking about going to one next year (I'm a sophomore) and I wanted to know if there is more than just Art, Music, Math, and Science. I would choose any of these but at my previous school's I just haven't had great experiences with these subjects so I'm just wondering if there are any different and/or diverse topics like Technology or Language classes. Also, my younger sister is in middle school and wants to know if these schools usually have a lot of homework. Those are my questions and Thank You!
