My school best prepared me academically, but I feel they could have been stronger in preparing me personally and socially. We didn't learn much about actively participating in society.

I feel like I was prepared pretty well in all aspects other than vocational.

The area that I feel I was best prepared in is developing self-expression and talent. The area I feel I was least prepared in is the academic area because of the change from high school to college.

My high school prepared me best in academics and personal goals and they could have done better by preparing me in social and civic goals.

My school prepared me well academically. They were very focused on maintaining a good academic culture. They did not prepare me personally. The administration in my school squandered self expression and placed very little emphasis on any talent that did not include athleticism.

I went to a private christian school and overalll I think they impacted me in all four of these areas but if I had to pick one it would be personal developing self-exspression and talent. We talked a lot at my school of what are purpose was as christians and how to make a postive impact on our world and the people around us everyday.

I think during my k-12 experience I was able to flourish in my personal abilities. Whether or not it’s arts or talent, I always have opportunities to do anything I desired to do art wise, in return it made me appreciate my interests and be able to use them in the future. I think academically the schools lacked, I had the good grades, but I didn’t necessarily learn. They just wanted you in and out, in which makes it hard to be able to learn in a classroom setting.

# data[].attributes.body
I think that my school prepared me best academically, socially, and personally. However, I feel like my school definitely could have prepared me more vocationally and civically. Or even could have helped me better prepare for college.

# data[].attributes.body
The area that my school best prepared me for was academic. I feel that the expectations for test scores and grades were always very high. My school lacked in personal goals because there was always such a focus on specific sports that other events were left out.

# data[].attributes.body
I think that there was very, very heavy emphasis placed on our career and future from the time I was an older elementary school student. I feel that personal interests were of less importance in the school system in favor of the same rigid academic goals.

I think my school prepared me best for vocational and academically. I think they could've done better at preparing us for personal and social/civic.

I went to public school, and while I feel that I am well prepared for life academically, and mostly well-prepared vocationally, I don't feel that my school did a good job preparing me for adulthood socially/civically or personally.

# data[].attributes.body
My school really focused on academics and social civic more than anything. I think they definitely could’ve helped us be more prepared for the world of work and self expression. They wanted us to be academically ready and that’s all they cared about because we were so poor and needed money for the schools.

# data[].attributes.body
I believe the personal and social areas are what best prepared me. Gave me the opportunity to see different worlds from different points of views. Met people and learned things I probably would not have learned anywhere else.

# data[].attributes.body
The setting of my school that best prepared me was the high intensity learning that we received. Every teacher I had prepared my class for college in amazing ways. At the moment I can not think of anything they did not prepare me for

# data[].attributes.body
I think my school did a good job at preparing me in all areas except social and civic. I progressed academically, personally and vocationally.

# data[].attributes.body
I believe that my school best prepared me socially and civically. While my school did impart knowledge, I feel that I gained most of my important knowledge on my own. My school was not very focused on vocational skills, and I don't have many memories of developing personally through school. However, I gained most of my social skills, including communication, through my schooling.

# data[].attributes.body
I think my school did a good job with personal goals, I felt very confident and like my voice was heard at the school. I think they struggled with academics because they weren't focused on that aspect in school, they were more passionate about making our school look good with sports and clubs and things like that.

# data[].attributes.body
I feel like my school best prepared me academically. They did not prepare me well on the personal side of things. There were not many outlets at school other than teachers and friends. I think there should be other resources for students

# data[].attributes.body
the area that my school best prepared me for was personal. my school made sure that were able to talk about things going on. my school also had very different ways we could show our talent.

The area that my school didn’t prepare me for the best was social and civic. they had a class for it where we learned about it but the teacher didn’t care at all when she was teaching

# data[].attributes.body
When it comes to where my school succeeded I think that my school had a really good career center helping students find different pathways and opportunities for them but I really think they could have helped with the personal aspect in the sense of emotional growth.

# data[].attributes.body
I was best prepared for vocational and academic - getting prepared for the world of work with a specific set of skills. I graduated college and career ready with fcs classes knowing exactly where my future was going. The school could have better prepared us in social and civic.

I was an Army brat so i moved around every three years my whole life. I attended 9 different schools over the course of 18 years. The schooling i received was of all different types of quality but they prepared me to operate in working world. I have been an English speaker in a predominately Spanish speaking school, and English speaker in a German school and gone to school all over the U.S. and Germany. I had to learn to work well with others and be a part of a group that i sometimes didn't fit into.

I feel like my school best prepared me for a lot of the academics aspect of life after high school, but I feel like they could've prepared me better for the more adult responsibilities that occur when you go off to college/become an adult. During school they just have you worried about academics, but in reality there are other things they should've been preparing us for before they released us into the "real world."

I feel that I will be successful in the needs that my students may have and help them flourish. Due to my short experience in the United States I have faced very difficult challenges in terms of language, reflecting stress, but a teacher helped me get ahead, I trust me and showed me that I could do whatever I wanted in this life, all with effort and dedication. That is why I intend to give all my effort and dedication to teaching, helping others to have confidence in themselves and to improve themselves educationally and emotional .

In my time in school from the early 80’s to the late 90’s there was very little that I did not feel prepared for. Most of us were college or work ready. We knew the social expectations that would be placed on us when we walked out the door.

The only weakness that I could see is that there was not enough emphasis put on special education and students with disabilities.
