In both T.D.S.S and In Cochran students take the fluffer classes to get easy credits but when they get to harder classes they can't keep up with the difficulty level of the course

In the class room we are given the opportunity to take a success criteria and think of a plan to meet the criteria. We are given harder harder questions to test our thinking and giving questions that force us to use pirior knowledge to solve it.

Our school is good at providing opertunities for students to solve problems in and out of school

In my opinion, our school is very good at letting the students play a role in designing their own learning experiences.

I feel as thought there is a large variation of the challenges we face throughout our different classes so when we get accustomed to a certain level of difficulty as soon as we are faced with a more difficult
Course we tend to give up rather than pursue the next tier of difficulty.

I believe as students there should be more communication in the classroom, many times we are given notes and expected to understand right away. I think that our curriculum is directed more for students in academics rather than trades, arts or physical education

# data[].attributes.body
I think that as students, we are not learning as much as we potentially could because some of the information given is not what we as students may need in the future. I believe that we have the potential to be learning different things about future living than we may be.

I think that a class would be more fufilling and challenging if we were able to think about the facts we are given as something to be built upon and explored in our lives, instead of inborn facts. Sometimes it's a challenge to question information as it is relevant to our current lives, and to express our opinions as the curious people that we are. I also find it sometimes difficult to be told about the world from a second hand point of view, and then asked to give answers about a future we have not yet explored.

Sometimes what we learn in our classrooms feels irrelevant to what we may be doing in the real world. I feel as if our curriculum accommodates more to the academic students rather to the more trades smart students.

I think we are challenged in a positive way but we don't have opportunities for high order thinking in our school. Some teachers challenge us more then others and more interactive with students.

School in general is full of cognitive tasks and assessments. So as growing adolescents that are still developing, I believe that the education system is doing well enough a job in helping us improve on and strengthen the way we think

I feel as if I don't get much opportunity in enhancing my learning experience, because there is a very small student population. Classes are often mixed between Academic students and Applied, which makes it challenging to fully get the learning experience that I need. Some courses and tasks are too easy for some students, while others find it too challenging. This makes classes confusing. Therefore, I don't get as much experience with different methods of comprehending different areas, within different subjects.

# data[].attributes.body
I feel as though I don't get a lot of opportunity for higher order thinking or to complete challenging tasks in my classes. I am concerned that because of this, I find it quite difficult when I am faced with an actual challenging task, and I am more prone to giving up.

When someone in a classroom often has a more mature answer to a question others is in the class often feel offended like they didn't think of it first as they watch the teacher praising that other student. If a student wants to do a project that is more outside the box, the teacher will set regulations that the student must obey even though their brain has more spontaneous ideas they want to share.

When it comes to the cognitive domain, I find that some of my classes are not as challenging as they could be. Depending on if the teacher has been teaching a certain class for years, or if they have just been thrown into it, you can tell very easily about their comfort level. If the teacher knows what they are teaching very well I feel challenged in a good way. If the teacher is teaching a class for the very first time, I feel challenged in a disproportionate way. This is because I am learning about a topic right as the teacher is and they give off the impression that they have no clue what they're doing

Within our classes, there doesn't always feel like there's that connection between what we're learning and the way the world works around us. For more hands on classes like wood shop you can obviously see a clears connection, but people always question the things we learn in the more "theoretic" classes. Students don't always question what they're learning because there's a disconnect between what we know and what we're learning. Despite all that, there would still be students that do agree with the fact that immersion with the content we're learning is present, but they would also agree with the fact that they see no chance for exploration into the information unless it's something that interests them greatly.

# data[].attributes.body
I think it helps greatly with our learning when connections to real life skills and careers are made, especially when it comes to classes like math. I think this helps with developing interests in the content that we are studying and helps use understand it better

# data[].attributes.body
I believe that us as students have a harder time with cognitive thinking in our classrooms because as teenagers we don't take the proper time to think of all the many possibilities or options that we have to our availability. Yet, teachers are now taking their times and showing us all the opertunities that we have available. They do this by talking to us alone or in groups of people to let us express what we feel about all the opertunities ahead of us.

At my school,  I feel like every student doesn't fully comprehend assignments/tasks when there are different levels of students in a class. Since my school has a very low population, I do understand that we have a lack of teachers but students learn at different paces so when you mix applied or academic students, it gets challenging for both sides. Some students might feel the work is too hard or too easy, it all matters on the level of cognitive development each student is at.
