School Changes

Ok so.. I’m late on a blog!! AHHH! I blame the tornado, the snow, and that oral history assignment from Mr. Pope. . . kidding! I just seriously forgot about it.

Henry Clay High School, where the purple hallway leads you to the pool which is located on the roof. I practice here with my fellow swimmers and in the winter month (our season) it gets REAAALLLY cold up there. I think we should get a pool heater- that would be the best possible change there could be. 

Ok, did I ease your anger about this being late yet? I bet so, let’s move on to the real issues presented here at school. My experience has been limited to the academy and I believe that it needs changed in it’s set-up. Let’s face it, there are those kids in the academy that don’t compare in terms of “student profile” or work ethic, or really-and I’m not trying to be rude here- intelligence. I think the academy should be set up into a tier system- those who are top of the class (Academy that is), those who fall in the middle, and those who are in the academy but perhaps shouldn’t be. I really don’t like the argument that we will have to deal with people that aren’t on “our level” in the workforce but that is not necessarily true. I want to go into biomedical/biochemical engineering, I will bet almost anything that the people in my field will be very much like me. The academy is already broken away from the rest of the school for the same reasons as this tier system, gifted-and-talented students are a different group of minds.
