If I was Incharge of The Education System

If I was incharge of the education system I would definitely bring more creativity and ease up on kids. I think we should let kids move at their own pace, but also encourage them to get work in on time, and be punctual. I would also like to start classes at about 9 or so, and still end around the same time. I would bring back OAC because kids now a days have been pressured to move on, they are nervous and not ready to go out into the real world. I feel that kids have no idea what to do after high school because we are getting told we have to do so many things quick and right if we want to succeed out there. I see where they are coming from, but give us a break, we're only kids once, let us be kids. Now Homework. I think that the homework part in school is a joke! You rarely get homework if you're in a College Level Course, but if you're in University Courses, you do get homework, but it's still pretty straight forward if you follow along. I'm not saying we should bring in more, I'm just saying that I think its funny the lack of homework we do get. I could go on all day about the things that I would change, but I feel these topics I covered were the most important ones to me.

Twitter

I have always heard about Twitter, but I don't have any means to get it. I have Facebook, which I hardly use, but Twitter is basically the exact same thing. Describe yourself, put a picture, and let people creep. I like the whole idea of Facebook, and Twitter, like trying to interact with friends, family, and even trying to find old friends, like your graduating class. I know people who creep Twitter to find girls or boys for relationships and stuff, but I think that is wrong. I believe it should be used to communicate with people you already know. Soon we will have a new and more advanced " Twitter " and people will soon move on to that.
I have thought about getting Twitter just to see the actual differences.

Ipods Banned From Schools

I do not agree with this at all. There is a time and place when you should and shouldn't use your Ipod. If a teacher is done explaining the instructions, and you are assigned work, I do not see the problem with using your Ipod and a certain volume. I can see not having Ipod visible when a teacher is giving a lesson, but to ban it period, I think that is just dumb. Cell phones are totally different. Every kid today has a cell phone, and to try and take a kids cell phone probably won't turn out so well. I see were the teachers are coming from like, cause for years if a parent ever needed to get a hold of their child, they would just call the school. So cell phones, I can see. But back to the Ipod issue, I love listening to my music when I'm working, I personally think it helps me focus better because I can block out all of the other noise surrounding me.
Therefore, I think the School Board and teachers should not be so anal towards Ipods in schools.
