My Favorite Class

The only adjustment I would have made is how to hold schools accountable and at the same time provide a curriculum

I liked everything about this course. The seminars, study plans, and the weekly discussions help

There was such a variety of topics covered in this course and I wish that I had taken it in a classroom instead of online. With this online course, I feel like the material went a little too quickly. If I were in a classroom setting, I feel that

Many schools structure their day better; our school should follow their example. I think that the first change to the day would be the amount of time spent at school. We should have a later start because kids will be well rested and more capable to learn easier. Another change would be a shorter day. We should have this because after long periods of time sitting still, kids get restless. Our school also needs better class options. For example, students should be able to play different instruments like the guitar during school hours. Another thing is that only core classes should be mandatory. Some kids do not enjoy drawing or painting so they shouldn't have to. Teachers are also too strict with passing periods. Our school should change passing period to be longer because people need to do stuff like go to the bathroom. Kids also need to have a little social break so they can let their

What we should change is the length of the school day, I feel that we have excessive time in class that we don’t need. The school days could possibly go to 12:00 every day. It may be good for homework sometimes but if we had a shorter school day we could have more time for homework at home.

This class main purpose I felt was to try and solely scare us from having sex. The only topics discussed in this class were about sexually transmitted diseases. I never understand why my high school made this a mandatory class, this class was strictly saying don’t have sex its bad your going to die from disease. The only thing I took away from my four years at that high school was in religion class and that was that sex is a gift and it should come from free consent of both people in the act. I firmly believe this statement. There is a huge responsibility in sex as presented in the video of John Oliver. Instead of teaching and telling kids that sex is bad, why don’t we teach and make them understand the safety and responsibility that sexual intercourse comes

The experiences that I have had throughout the class have definitely helped me to grow as a person and shape my perspective effectively. There were tough moments during the GRC and even with class discussions. There was a lot to learn. Speaking of the Chilean mining rescue (Chilean mining rescue, 2012) was always an aspect of a course that gave me a good example of how to manage diversity in groups.

Before taking this course I was really excited about what I am going to learn. And I was right! This course is not only interesting but it is also helpful. I have learned that the grade I am having right now is the reflection of my try throughout the entire semester.

There is always something you can do to make your school better, and every single human has a different opinion on what it is. Some people think it is that we need more sports or certain new classes, but what I want will make everyone happy! Here is the what, why, how, and the cons of my change.

If I were to describe this course to a friend I would say this class is more than what anyone expects and is extremely eye-opening. It is not like a normal studies class, where it has boring content. It has content that is insightful and allows you to really think about the issues at hand. I would encourage a friend to take it because it is not only a fun class but very informative. I would prepare them for the reality of this class. This class does not just touch the surface of issues we have in society, but it goes much deeper.

I would say that I like my classes better than I did last year esspecialy language arts. Other

John, age three illustrates tremors and cries uncontrollable. John look as if he is not speaking as he should for his age. His vocabulary is very limited as if he is behind for his age. He is at this time not walking on the level that he should be. John lived with both of his biological parents. In addition, John has not had much structure in his life because he did not have many rules to abide by. Due to the lack of structure, John did not have a set routine of what time to go to bed and he could wonder the house freely. John’s father has had several job. In addition, John’s father also stays out late at night, selling drugs and manufacturing methamphetamines within the home. Even though John’s father sold drugs, there is no reports on him using drugs. In addition, manufacturing drugs in the home may have lead John to be exposed to drugs, which can have an effect on the child’s development. Due to Johns father’s actions, he was arrested leaving John not having a father figure in his life.

Hey, well it would be nice if we had a cleaner environment. The trash is disgusting. There should be mandatory SAT and college readiness classes. Honestly, the workload could be heavier. The workload of this school is pretty light compared to that in my middle school and other competitive high

Overall, I have been very impressed with how this course is going so far. I appreciate having a short presentation on the topic each week then having the opportunity to discuss the topic with other group members. I have learned a lot from the readings as well as from other group members. By having everyone share their ideas and thoughts, I feel that I have gotten more out of this course than I had expected. With everyone coming from different educational backgrounds and experiences, it has been interesting to be exposed to different ideas and perceptions on some of these topics. In addition, having group members question and challenge my ideas have promoted me to think more in-depth and explore more closely about the topics. As of right now, there seems to be no issues with my group. Everyone participates in weekly discussions as well as writing the summary. Ideas and opinions are shared in a respectful manner

Since my sophomore year in high school, I have feed the homeless. It started off as a 20% project for my English class, but I have grown to enjoy it. When I first started, my group and I went to a park in Downtown San Jose and gave the homeless a sandwich, a granola bar, and a water bottle. We did this for three months. Since then my friends and I have gone every month, on a Saturday, but we do not just give them food. I switch up every month on what to give them. We either make a care package, that contains beef jerky, water, sunscreen, lotion, trail mix, and band-aid, or a sandwich with a granola bar, and a water. Most people assume that homeless people are lazy, mean, rude, or even crazy. For the most part that is not true. The people
