Practicality

Over the weekend we decided to better consider the interviews we had done during the week and how we could possibly use them. Do we go to school to learn how to retain information for a couple of days? Or is our goal to learn how to survive in the real world. We should be learning for practicality, learn to think outside of the box and to sustain a world for a better future. Why would you want to learn how to enter the world throughout school when you could be learning how to act in the world now. Students are more likely to remember and continue things learned now if they are doing hands on things that they believe relate to them. Our generation does not do well with lectures, we need to learn through action. We should be working to pass the test of life. By doing things like creating sustainable gardens and recycling we can reduce the amount of waste used by our school and teach the students to create a better world for themselves. We propose the creation of a class that promotes eco friendliness. This course would allow the students at our school to learn about the benefits of sustainability and to think outside of the box to create a better world for themselves. To be proactive and not just allow the world to deteriorate to act; to fix it before its gone, which at our rate could very well be in our future.
