Re: Students, what is your fantasy education system?

Some things in life you have to learn hit or miss, and a one size fits all (as stated) system cannot do that. My school has a study hall where you are required either to do work or sleep. That’s it, no talking, no listening to cd players, no playing sending notes, no anything.(other than homework and sleep) Now some people will say, "oh this is a great place for children to concentrate and do their homework." Well ok I do do my homework and I finish but do we seriously need absolute silence? Honestly? Days when I have no homework I go insane, I cannot sleep, I cannot sneak my DS under the desk and play it, and I doodle... why? Because its too dang quiet! When I draw I hear my pen drag, when I play DS I hear the buttons tap, when I try to sleep I hear nothing so I cant sleep! I even have to have my windows open to hear the cars passing by in my room so I can sleep. Even right now my windows are open, its 40 degrees in my room but I'm still going. The students who need absolute silence are a much smaller group than those who don't. Just saying.. being bored in study hall I have a lot of time on my hands, to make paper catapults and wonder life’s questions, like If a swat team knocks down your door do they have to pay for it? Anyway. Another thing I would change in schooling, would be TRSs. Oh man do I hate TRSs.. For those who don't know a TRS is a Test Record Sheet. Where all your tests, quizzes and projects are written down with your grade on that specific assignment then due the next day with your parental units signature. This counts as a homework assignment... WHY!!!
I got a C+ in science last year, why? Because I had a 50% homework average, a 90% test average, a 86% quiz average, and a 80% class participation average. Why did I get a 50% homework average, because every time he hands back a quiz I put it in my folder and forget about it. Even if its a good grade I forget to have my parents sign it. IMO signing tests should only add extra credit points to the test or something. That is why I am doing better in High School than in Middle School. This is occurring because High School doesn't require all this crap, basically you do your homework, listen in class, study for tests and quizzes and you do good. School System now is pretty good, with a few major annoyances.
Sorry if this came out strong/messy, I've been up for the past 42 hours...
