A school imagined by the 14 year old homeschooler I tutor in English School day from 8-3: The first 30-40 minutes of the day are a "wake up" or a free period - do whatever to get your mind right for the day Then everyone goes outside —> All learning is done outdoors What about during winter? The rooms have lots of windows so natural light can come in The students learn just the basics of the core subjects - just as much as you need for life - no fluff or extra unnecessary bits -Lots of art classes -Language classes -Lots of Gym/Physical ed classes -Tons of passion-based classes and passion-discovery classes -Life skills: How to interact with peers -Growing your social intelligence --> How to keep a conversation going - According to her, too many people her age are socially awkward Interestingly enough... these are all public schoolers... She says they are too focused on what others think and its not good for them She also said there should be classes to teach us how to think before we speak Lastly: the school NEEDS to serve real food What do you think of the vision for her school?
