What I like about the education system nowadays is the resources they provide for the students who come from low income families. For example how if students don't have a laptop or Chromebook at home the school will let them borrow one so they can do their virtual learning as well as Wi-fi. Another one is how all students qualify for free lunch. But most importantly how it offers equality for everyone not just one ethnicity. Letting our children grow into productive citizens that use their knowledge, talents, and learned skills to help themselves and others.

The education system now has definitely changed for the better in the way of discrimination and opportunities. During the years being discriminated in the system has diminished, everyone is able to have the opportunity to learn without having to worry about their gender, race or sexual orientation. Also, the opportunities the school gives out are a lot. For example, if a student doesn't have a computer the school might lend one out for the student. This helps the student to not feel that they are less than any other student and makes them not lose interest in studying.

What I do like about the education system is the resources they provide for students within the area of people with poverty in the United States. For example, giving out free supplies or donate old uniforms to students in housing. There isn't anything from what I have seen that changed and that I would want to change back. What I would want to see change in the future is to add gender neutral restrooms for students or a more open opportunity to non u.s. citizens be given an education while they are illegal citizens they are children first and in need safety within education. Knowing several are unable to get a complete education either because they can't afford tuition, supplies, or uniform in their living circumstance.

What i prefer now about the school systems is that theres more opportunity and equality for everyone and not just for one ethnicity. For example, children who are brought here to the U.S from Mexico get the same education and opportunities as  U.S citizen. No one is discriminated. Everyone is more accepting and considerate.

Something great about the public school system is that they provide the resources and tools needed to help students complete tasks much more easily. For example, if students do not have access to a computer or laptop to complete homework online, the school districts allow students to borrow Chromebooks from the school. It is very helpful, especially during these difficult times we are currently in. Students are also granted access to textbooks that are required for certain courses; the best part is that they are free of charge. One thing I would like to see change is the amount of time students spend at school. Eight hours at school is too much, especially because there are many courses taken throughout the day. If it was maybe reduced to about five or six hours, students would have more time to themselves. It would not just be free time, as students would have more time and opportunities to finish homework sooner and become more involved in other school activities, such the band program, a sport, or any UIL activities they wish to be a part of. For those students who are in high school and able to work, they have more opportunities to save up money for their college studies, especially because college is not inexpensive. The extra time is also helpful for students to get good night's rest, which is needed to concentrate and remain focused at school.

# data[].attributes.body
What I like about school system nowadays is that there is less descrimination and more oportunities for everyone to obtain knoweledge in a saftey and healthy environment. One thing that I wish is stayed the same was the punishments or discipline. Like extra homework, after school work, or talking to their parents. Nowadays teachers can't do too much to discipline a student because they are afraid the school will punish them by taking their teaching license.

What i Like about todays education system is that allow all type of persons to obtaing knowledge not caring about disabilities, gender, religion or any other beliefs. Also the technology implemented to teach is really Good and it helps a lot to teach in a different way. Know there are tons of ways to study with technology. we have everything closer and easier. There are to many tools for teachers to improve their teaching methods and also for students to make it easier to study.

Allayza Ugarte                                 What I like about today’s education system is that their is room for growth. There are so many opportunities for us available that weren’t available back then. For example, we have access to tutors for extra help, we have access to the internet, books, and to teachers who are usually more than willing to help students with anything they are struggling with. What I also like is that we are more accepting than back then. We accept that there is not only one race but many races that make up the world and we can share our school experiences with them and learn about each other’s cultures in the process. I believe education has made great advancements so there is no need to go back to the way it was. One thing I would like to see in the future is that college becomes affordable for many. There are many young, bright, intelligent kids who don’t have the resources possible for an education and have been forced to stay in minimum-wage jobs and can never achieve their dreams.

What I like about schooling nowadays is that we are able to talk more freely about anything. Technology has also helped students since been a huge part of our society. I also wish that we didn't have to take standardized tests. In the future, I wish to see kids/students feeling stress free. They should have less homework but should understand the lesson that's being taught. They should be more disciplined in knowing that school will benefit them in the long run.

# data[].attributes.body
What I like about this modern schooling would be the new technology, a more diverse environment and new opportunities. This are some factor that have impacted us in helping us move forward. Technology helps us get information faster and from reliable sources. The more diverse environment helps us learn from each other’s way of living as well as our different cultures. The new opportunities would be same thing for any gender as well as more ways to succeed. As of right now, I don’t wish for anything to stayed like it was before. What I would change for the future would be maybe more opportunities for any individual who wants to continue their education.

Being in a public school has offered me many opportunities. One being that education was free of cost whereas college one has to pay for it. I can proudly say that all my teachers helped me to get where I am today. They inspire me to be like them to help other people succeed. However, I believe that having a money management class in the future will help students be out of debt. It will be an eye opener to many students of to how expensive life is.

# data[].attributes.body
As of today, our schools becoming more and more advanced. Not only technology, but also in a cognitive setting. Technology allows our students' cognitive muscles to work and become more active when it comes to classwork or easy access to studying. One thing that I do wish stayed like before, is working physically as well. Now a days, schools are handing our chrome books to their students and allowing them to take it home or even work for their computers. In my opinion, students are forgetting how to actually work with a pencil--mind the fact, i worked with fifth graders and kindergartners and half of them shared the same penmanship. I just wish, for the future, that technology should not take an enormous role in our children's educating life.

# data[].attributes.body
Now in today's education system there is penalty of information and resources  that is available to students and educators and gives us advanced education in today's society. If I was still in high school I wish that we still had open campus and the choice to decide what time our classes were.One thing that needs a change is that the STAAR shouldn't be part of the school system.

# data[].attributes.body
Schooling today has plenty of resources available for its pupils and a variety of new opportunities for anyone and everyone to partake in. Nothing has really changed besides the fact that we don't have that safety net we had in public schooling, we rely completely on ourselves but that's something I actually like. One change that I would like to see is better preparation for students who are almost entering the new world. Most students are not ready to enter the adult world and might get discouraged if they struggle too much.

# data[].attributes.body
Schools of today, in contrast to schools in the past, are more free and liberal. In a way, that anyone is able to freely express their own different opinions and thoughts on different subjects. One was not able to express their feelings comfortably in the past. Another thing that is good about schools today, is that a student can learn anything they want to know more about. It is encouraged in today’s society to have more knowledge, however as in the past, everything that was being taught was controlled/restricted. One thing that I would like to see in schools, more specifically in high schools is how to maintain a healthy lifestyle and how to manage things that come with turning into an adult.

# data[].attributes.body
As of today, there is an enormous amount of qualities I love about schooling. To begin with, the vast opportunities in classrooms to exemplify good learning outcomes, behavior and overall great classroom settings for students.  A few years ago, when I was 12 years of age, to be more specific, I moved to this country; United States of America. Undergoing this  360 degree shift in my life made me encounter many situations, such as admiring every small detail of the education system in the country of the brave. I love being able to feel safe, happy and peaceful. By virtue of providing a safe ambiance, established classrooms with brick walls, a/c conditioning, and great technology. Moreover, the nutritional plans offered at public schools; warm, free and healthy meals. In addition, acquiring well-rounded certified teachers, professionals, individuals;thus, offering students the best learning experience. Furthermore, "Changes brings opportunity" - Nido Quebein. This quote exemplifies change is good, and for the better. I am a firm believer  of changes. If there would not be any in the United States School System how will we be able to know what is best for students? Changes provide great outcomes, in order to keep on improving this magnificent school system. To conclude, I do not wish anything has stayed like before. However, I do observe a great future by implementing more arts and sports extracurricular activities offered at schools. Such as an orchestra, piano classes,  bad-minting, broom-ball, among other fine arts and sports which are not established in schools. I believe adding these great programs will be of a great opportunity for students to identify, enjoy and de-stress themselves.

# data[].attributes.body
As of today, what I have liked about my schooling is that I have been able to work with amazing teachers who made school easier for me. Most if not all of the teachers I had were really engaging with the class as a whole, and also with the students they saw one on one like me. As we went on to middle school and high school we had to start taking even more state tests that would pull focus from the level of engagement the teacher had in the classroom. It may work with the older students but the ones in elementary are so focused on a tests that when they're in kinder they start to prepare them, thus, not getting so much education in. I would change the amount of state tests the students take just so they can have a more engaging education rather than a strict one.

# data[].attributes.body
Till this day, i will always love that the school system regulates children to attend school everyday, and encourages them to finish their GED. This standard set the bar high and made it a habit to continue to prolong our education day by day. For future references, I'd like to see schools get rid of dress codes only because it's an unnecessary setback we don't need to acquire an education.

# data[].attributes.body
What I like about school is that we now have many opportunities to get us ahead of time such as dual enrollment and early college. These opporunities save us time and money. The fact the teachers are so well prepared and trained to make our learning experience awesome makes me want to go back to high school to relive that experience. I wouldn't really change anything about school, if it changed something maybe its because its better for the students and teachers. I hope that district keeps improving and still offer these opporunities for the future generations to come.

As a student who was raised in the mexican educational system and later introduced to the american educational system, I was not disappointed by the american style. There was a safe environment, A/C throughout the whole school, the food was free rather than sold, and the learning pace was easy to catch up and actually learn. Something I wish had stayed the same was the dessert that was included with lunch. Although I hope for better things to happen in the future such as exploring new ways to teach the students rather than boring them with self teaching or long lectures.

# data[].attributes.body
What I really enjoyed as a child being in a public school is the way the teachers were well prepared and really committed to their work. They made learning fun and encourage us from a very young age to participate in school activities. Once I move to private school for middle school, there was a slight difference, however the teachers were still as a gaged in their work as my previos teachers. Once in middle school we were allowed to have iPads with us, since new work as being assigned through web sites. I feel that in schools, technology should be an essential, since it can be very useful to teach students and for them to interact and at the same time they get to learn about the new technology and become familiar with it.

# data[].attributes.body
Students have more privileges now,  than teachers.

# data[].attributes.body
What I enjoyed about my district is the opportunities that are offered. Dual Credit and AP courses are a great way to save money. They offer students college credit without them having to pay for the actual course itself. AP classes only give you the credit if the exam is passed by the student.  There is not much change I want to see in the future because I believe the school district I went to is already headed in that direction. What I  mean is I really appreciate the fact that dual credit exists and each year it gets better. I always hear about the older generation being surprised about the amount of courses being offered for dual credit. I hope my kids can someday come across this great opportunity.

# data[].attributes.body
I'm really glad we have a lot of opportunities in school to better yourself and get ahead from everyone else. Free college classes, free tests like the SAT, TSI, and ACT, and AP classes are all examples of ways that you can make your time in high school really count, only if you take advantage of what's being given to you.
I don't really see a difference in school the years I've been there other than the food.
Something that should change is the way kids who are absent a lot are dealt with. To be honest, attendance contracts don't really do much or affect us because sometimes you don't even complete them or turn them in and no one tells you anything. I feel like kids should be taken to court after the first couple absences because that actually kind of did scare me (even though I still didn't have to pay anything or do community hours like the other kids there). Taking real action as soon as they see a problem will change the problem with us missing school so much.

# data[].attributes.body
What I like about school is that we have so much technology now that is really helpful, because some students don't
have the technology at home, so they know they can do their work at school when they need to. I don't think I wish to have anything from back then that has changed. If there is one thing I could change would be to have affordable things at the universities, I don't know why some books have to be so expensive when most of the time we don't use them. Or why we have to buy access codes just to turn in assignments.

# data[].attributes.body
What I liked about school was the opportunity’s we had. Such as free college credit classes, paid advanced placement exams, free books, and  assigned computers and/or devices that help us do our work in case a student didn’t have one at home. School districts have done well in keeping up with today’s technology, they use it to their advantage. In the past, dress code was not enforced to a student nor teacher so that is something I wish stayed like before. One thing I would change for the future is the start time. I always believed going to school at 7:45 am is tiring for a child especially when they are getting out of school at 6pm due to extra curricular activities. A later start time would be a change I would like to see in the future.

# data[].attributes.body
I enjoyed being a part of a school district that appreciated art, creativity, and originality. Thinking outside the box was encouraged, and standing up in class to defend an argument was rewarded. I liked seeing my peers grow right in front of my eyes, and having teachers that genuinely cared about teaching their students. I know I was lucky to have access to technology in school, but I began to notice towards the end of my high school career, teachers were relying more on videos on youtube to teach their students. I wished they weren't so reliant on videos to do their job for them. I would like to see teachers collaborating with technology, and using it as a tool to improve their students' way of learning, rather than relying on it solely to teach their students for them.

# data[].attributes.body
What I liked the most about school was all the opportunities outside of class work. Such as athletic teams, different clubs, extracurricular activities. It really gave people the chance to find something they loved and get better at it. Like me I got to be on a dance team for ten years and really work hard on what I loved to do. It helps people find a hobby and stay active. One thing is I wish their wasn't such a strict dress code, because our parents have to pay more money for school clothes instead of wearing what we already have at home. I hope school food gets better in the future. I personally never liked school lunches it just wasn't good and I hope that gets better.

# data[].attributes.body
What I liked about school especially High school is that they gave us opportunities to take college courses for free. Of course it helped a lot to get me started for college expectations so that really helped me there. I like how technology also advanced in our schools the students are provided with their own laptop and the classrooms now have iPads for students to find resources on. For the future I would like to see more students take advantage of these great opportunities of free college classes because it’ll help them in the long run.

# data[].attributes.body
What I like about schools, is that there is a different method of teaching for each student, not just one. Also, schooling has kept up with the technology in order to teach the new generation. I wouldn't want anything to change because the schooling of back them didn't really teach anything other than religion. One thing I would like to see change in the future is the pressure students and teacher feel on state exams. Students feel that state exams are based on memory not on actual skills. As for teachers, it makes feel more pressured so the administrators see that they work hard and put there all in.

# data[].attributes.body
What I like about schools today is that they give sources to children to learn such as the access of technology, one thing that can be very helpful for learning in children. The second thing I like is for students to do a certain number of community hours. The third thing is that today high school students have the opportunity to have high school classes. I wouldn't change anything  of the schools today for something from the past. What I'd like to see in the future. What I would like to see in the future would be that technology continues to grow but also that the quality of schools grow.

# data[].attributes.body
What I enjoy about school is being able to choose the schedule that best works for me. It would be so frustrating in high school because our schedule was out of our control, and any important plans could only be dealt with after school ended.
The school lunch changed drastically in my opinion. In elementary, I remember it being so good that I would even take a dollar so I could get seconds! But in middle school and high school, it became so bland; I wish they had never changed the school lunch.
One thing I would like to see a change in is to stop the constant pressure teachers had to put on us to pass state exams like the STAAR. Those tests do not matter for college, so I do not understand the point of going through bad times just to pass them. Hopefully the ones in charge of making kids take them understand that they are unnecessary or at least try to ease the importance of them.

# data[].attributes.body
I like that now a days there are many more opportunities in schools that we did not have while we were in elementary. Since technology started to advance more through out the years, many students now have the ability to use technology in school. Something that has changed Is elementary teachers requiring kids to do homework online, and I think that it is something that they shouldn't do because not every kid has access on having internet or even a device at home. In the future I would like to see a change in classrooms to have positive and learning environments for the kids

# data[].attributes.body
Something that I like about school is that we have so many resources that help us learn more. We also have access to technology and that has helped us do more stuff with our work and our thinking. I think anything in the past didn’t stay for a reason and it was probably doing more damage than good. In the future, I would love for everyone to have the same opportunities because they give “A” students better classes and “C” students are just there. They don’t get better classes or worse but I think sooner or later they’ll need better classes so they can challenge themselves and become eager to learn even more.

# data[].attributes.body
What I like about school these days, is that students have access to technology if they don't at home. When I was in pk-12 I have noticed that things have changed throughout the years. Students these days have more access to technology in school than I have ever had when I was in elementary and middle school. On my last two years of high school is when I started to really started to notice it. What I wish to see in the future is that the school districts would change their agenda and actually have teachers teach them things that will actually be useful in the real world.

# data[].attributes.body
What I liked about my k-12 experience was the personalized learning. I remember when I came into kindergarten I did not know a word of English so I was place in a speech class from kindergarten to 1st grade. Before the students had to adapt to the classroom & keep up with the other students, but now the teacher adapts to your learning preferences or disabilities. Something I have seen first hand that has changed in elementary schools is that they do put a lot of pressure not only on to the students but also the teachers. They never catch a break and the kids don’t have as much fun as I did when I was it elementary. I know school isn’t just fun & games, but the memories I had in elementary I still hold dearly today. I would like to change the focus on all these test and deadlines & allow the students express their creatives sides or just learn a fun lesson about how the holidays came to be. Because I heard they don’t teach about thanksgiving anymore. Something I would like to change in the future is to give more focus to the kids that are in the middle. They aren’t getting challenged enough when they had great potential.

# data[].attributes.body
What I like about present schooling is that technology has really been incorporated in the classrooms and is used as a tool for learning. In high school I was in a program that required me and my classmates to go to an elementary school everyday. As I was placed in a kinder class I was really able to see the difference of technology used in the present day classroom versus my days in elementary school. As in change, nothing has really changed from my days in school. One thing I would like to see change for in the future is actually teaching students things they need to know  when they're adults, not just teaching them things to pass a test the state requires.

# data[].attributes.body
One of the things that I enjoyed about present day school was the incorporation of technology. I also liked how students were encouraged to join several extra curricular activities. If there is anything that has changed that I wish would've stayed like the same way forever would be the school food. In the future I hope to see better cafeteria food.

# data[].attributes.body
In school I liked that the lessons were incorporated with fun activities. I wished that the school lunch when I was in elementary had never changed. I would liked to see a change in the hours little kids go to school personally I think it´s too early and I would like the cafeteria food to change.

# data[].attributes.body
What I like about school today is that technology is available to students for learning purposes, and its accessible to anyone. I don't really think that anything should be brought back from the past, since most was centered around just religion. One thing I do want to change for the future is for schools to further encourage any creative art for students who are interested in that field.

# data[].attributes.body
In schooling today, I really enjoy the constant inclusiveness. Schools really push the need for student involvement in extracurricular activities. I also like the use of technology, how we save paper by just simply turning in assignments online. Something that has changed over the years is the use of technology, sometimes I wish it could just go back to how things used to be without phones. I know that what I just stated contradicts what I said prior to this, it is just saddening to me. One thing though that I wish would change, is the students' attitudes towards learning. To me I don't really notice excitement in the children's faces when attending class.

# data[].attributes.body
What I like about our schooling today is that we have so many new opportunities. For example, we have better technology, better teachers and better resources to get information. Nothing has changed since I've been in school. One thing I would like to change for the future is for our society in our schools to become less violent and more friendly. It is so sad on how our world is changing today, I wish we could have a friendly environment in schools and our society.

# data[].attributes.body
The schooling as it is right now is nearly perfect, the school system teaches the minimum basics for someone to be studying and settle good in society. The biggest change I have seen is the use of technology such as ipads and tablets in elementary school, I believe children in the early education grades should limit their time on these devices as it can definitely make them less prone to using traditional methods of technology such as projectors, written assignments and etc. More classes that focused on life related curriculum's, for example a class that would teach you how to save your money and pay taxes, or a class in which they demonstrated how to work on a car, even a class on how to cook basic dishes would be good. These are only a few of many more curriculum's which would benefit students in the long run rather than putting them in another chemistry class.

# data[].attributes.body
I love that we are so advance and how now we are more open about things and the fact that we have lots of opportunities that we can take advantage of. I don't think anything has changed besides maturing as a person. I would want our school to have more activism. We need to advocate and stand up for what we believe in and that's the only thing I would change

# data[].attributes.body
Wha I like about my schooling today is having the technology we have to learn more. We have so many resources to expand our knowledge.
I wish that school was before in the sense of being united. I feel they allow us to separate among our peers instead of having each other to help and learn more.
What thing I would like to see change is the curriculum of needing to having a certain GPA. I think if we have all our needed work done to pass the should be enough to move to the next subject or grade level.

I like that everyone minds their own business. Everyone focuses on themselves. I would like to change my life and become successful

So far today I like that we get to choose the time and that it's not so time wrecking like in high school. Something that changed isn't something so big but I wish lunch would be cheeper or free but knowing that there has to be money made somehow I see why. One thing I would like to see in the future is better access to stuff for free or much more cheeper.

The schooling today what I like about it is the support they give us financially and sort of guiding us to seek our desired future job. They pricing it would stayed the same and I hope technology develope over time to help us learn more efficiently

what i like about my schooling is that it is very freeing and open, I feel safe all around campus and my class hours are great!

no, what changed from what i had before in high school to now is FOOD! i love the cafe here and highschool food was terrible.

one thing i would like to see change in the future is class hours for elementary students. i have a 3 year old sister that is in pre-k and i know she is having a hard time in school from being there so long!

# data[].attributes.body
As of now what I like about school is that I get to pick what kind of classes I need for my career. Getting to do those classes and learning about the career path I want to take will be helpful. Something that has changed i wished stayed was that the course materials stayed the way they started and not change. I would want them to change the hours for younger kids like pre k kids and for them to only go a few hours to learn because they can only obtain so much with their age.

# data[].attributes.body
I wish teachers enforced creativity rather than focus on standardize testing  and what I like about school is that  and what I like about school is feeling motivated to succeed

# data[].attributes.body
Something I like about today's teaching is that teacher's are always making time to make sure their students are understanding the topics being discussed in class. Something I wish could go back to the way it was before was that there wasn't so much testing done because it puts a lot of stress on both teacher and student, so not having many tests would allow teachers to teach the children the topics in depth.

# data[].attributes.body
I like that my schooling has a variety of groups and programs that can benefit all students.
Something that has changed is that there is not that much discipline in schools. Same with holding student a accountable for their grades and actions.
I would like to see more interactions with students and teachers. Have more hands on learning and involvement of students.

# data[].attributes.body
As of today I am not fond with my schooling it still seems very basic, and not specific and at times I feel like it is taking more out of me than I am of it. The curriculum is more academic and strict with attendance, there is less art and vocational classes. I would like to see students enjoying school because they are teaching things that matter to them and that they receive full attention to what they’d want.

# data[].attributes.body
School was a huge struggle in the beginning for me but once I moved here I felt almost like home, I loved going to class I loved learning new things and yes I loved those school shopping days, a bit funny but it would make me happy. Nothing really changed except for maybe the lunch time which I honestly didn’t mind but it did extend the day frustratingly. One thing I would love to see in the future is classes that help kids fundamentally, such as self-defense, paying taxes, things that progress us into adults so we aren’t so blind when our wings are spread.

# data[].attributes.body
What I like about schooling today is that there is more opportunities now than there was before. Although much has changed something that I wish for it to stay is the interaction between teacher and class. I would like to continue seeing teachers motivated and encouraging students to continue their studies and not settle for less. One thing that I would like to see change for the future is to have more ideas for students on how they can succeed and actually help them understand what they are being taught.

I enjoy my school as of today because it gives me the flexibility I need because of my child. I enjoy the internet courses and the few days of travel I have to make to attend face to face classes. The one hung I would like to see change was hold everyone accountable for their own schoolwork

# data[].attributes.body
I am comfortable because it works out with my work and kids schedule.
A lot has changed but not to my disadvantage.
I would like to see a more positive change as far as attending school on a daily basis.

What I like about school right now, is that I had many enlightened experiences with extra curricular activities. I was in sports most of my life, so I learned some skills that I would’ve never learned if I didn’t go to school. I love being a team player and working towards a common goal with people that are as driven as me. There is always room for improvement in our school system, more accommodations could be put in place so for those who need it. I would love to see a more personalized school system. In which there are programs personalized for each student and to their liking. Not everyone learns at the same pace, so doing this could encourage kids to continue into getting a higher education.

School today in my opinion, could get a lot better. There is nothing I would like to see come back from how the education system was before. However, one thing that should change for the future and betterment of education is the learning process. Students now only memorize things for test and forget right after. Students should be motivated to learn not to only memorize for a moment.

What I like about school is that how it has change for the better and more advanced.
I don’t think I would want it to be the same like in the old times. It shouldn’t change back.
3. Have more technology and offer more things to the kids. Be more flexible with the schedule.

My favorite school experiences usually had to do with learning about material that is directly applicable to  the real world. Learning how to socialize or manage your times aren’t things on the school curriculum but are things that are learned through school. If I had to change something it would be the times you have to be at school. I’d like to see more technology integrated into classes

Personally I liked that our district offered a magnet school for our high schools. One for Fine arts and communication, another for health, and as well as a engineering magnet. Really nothing much has changed from my experience and I wouldnt like it to change. One thing Id like to see later would be more people committed to school. As well as being involved more

I really appreciate my private school education. The lesson plans were more tailored to where we were at as a class. Also, the curriculum, assignments, and assessments provided college readiness even though we were only in elementary and middle school. There wasn’t so much attention and pressure on the standardized test, this let the teacher focus and us, the students, and not the rest. I wish public school would follow that example, especially when it came to the pressure of passing the STAAR.

At the moment i like how school was ,but at the same time theirs some things i wish they told me or thought me that would be helpful for my future. Their wasn't much of a change in my school years that i attended school besides technology. I just want to see more flexibility and more helpful classes for after highschool.

My favorite thing about my schooling has been the teachers. Most have been interactive and helpful, but some not too much. I believe that not every teacher should have been one. Only the people who care should. One thing that has changed in my school is the offering of paid college courses. I wish I had that back when I was in school. It would’ve been helpful and would’ve further me along my degree plan. One thing I would to to see change in my school is the focus of academics. They should be more focused on academics than sports.

What I like about my schooling is that the teachers are and will always be teaching us something. I have learned not only about the subjects but about certain life lessons as well.  I wish that we weren't so pressured into completing a state exam. Before, we used to only focus on making sure we actually learned the subject.  I wish that high school changed the pressure on students, all to just complete an exam.

What I loved about school was learning about different things that happen throughout history and exploring all the different options in expanding my mind. In my own opinion I think things have changed a lot in school since I’ve gone, technology has a lot to do with it. The one thing I would like to see change in the future in our education is that young adults be helped and prepare for real life situation.

# data[].attributes.body
I like school so far it's not too bad. I like the teachers I had in the past. I just that there some teacher in high school that were not really good in helping me and the other students to learn. They would mostly just let us do whatever in the class.

As for what I liked about my school experience, I absolutely loved going to VMT during my highschool years. VMT is a fine arts magnet school. Nothing has changed as far as I know, so I wouldn't really change anything from the past. For the future, I would to see more acceptance towards the fine arts departments as they are typically not really cared for.

Throughout the chapter I was able to learn how the school system began and how the system could be changed for the betterment of the students' learning. My school experience allowed me to further my education in college. High school gave me the opportunity to take college courses and it helped me take responsibility and learn time management. Now that I'm taking on the college path I feel a bit more prepared.

School has been advanced since the last time I attend school. It has improved for the better.

I like school they way it is, I hope it will continue to improve for the the better.

What I liked about my schooling was that there was a lot of diversity in the subjects; and as you get into the higher grade levels there’s more options for students to take like as in college courses. Something I wish that stayed as it was before would be that teachers would be more strict. A thing I would like to see change for the future is offering more college courses to students who want to take them instead of just students that have higher gpas and grades.

# data[].attributes.body
What i like about my school is that you choose what time you want to be in school and what time you are out. I would what to see a change in the way that the professor teach. I would want the professors to teach us in a way that would help us and also make us wonder if something else can be done.

One thing that I liked about going to school is socializing with others and sharing opinions with others.
I guesses that what changed is that now teachers are soley focused on students passing the STAAR then to go about with activities and other types of learning then just memorizing.
One thing that I would like to see changed in the future would be for students to read more books since children don't really read books or are enthusiastic about it

# data[].attributes.body
what i like about the school system is the expectations for student to participate, it allows for them to critically think and expand their knowledge. I wish that basic everyday tasks such as filling out taxes, writing checks, and etc would have stayed as core classes. one thing i would like to see is the removal of state exams, i believe it does not actually teach the students anything, and instead memorize books and assignments

School is a very diverse system. In other words there are many students who attend various high schools or colleges but one similarity attendance. The amount of students who prefer to learn and excel to those who feel aren’t cut out for it for various reasons such as limited span of attention or the teachers are too fast or vise versa the student is too slow. This proves how the attendance is affected those who excel will more than likely have a higher attendance and acceptance rate into any school of the students choosing than than of one with low attendance rates. To helps those who are deemed unteachable we must invoke the No Child Left Behind Act and find a way to teach those who have no answers to why they do so poor.

In today's times, I really love the opportunities that schooling in general has to offer. Staying in school can lead you to many different places by simply to sticking to programs you like and meeting people who can lead you further into your dreams. The thing that has changed in my time is the price and cost of attending school. In the future, I'd soon enough like to see the cost and price of schooling go down. I feel more people should be allowed to go to school and continue to get educated in their field.

I would like for school to care more about creativity and expand children minds beyond the mentality of passing a grade, to make them feel that they are learning something valuable that will impact their future as individual

One thing I currently like about school is being able to choose my schedule. With high school and middle school, I think that something should be done to teach people better history skills. Some people of high school age cannot even name when the Civil War or Revolutionary War took place.

In school, I really liked learning new things and learning about certain subjects. In elementary my experience was great, my teachers were patient and kind but they also had rules. It’s crazy to say that I liked the rules. I liked the idea of having a set date and time on how I do something. It’s something you’re actually going to use in the real world. In high school and middle school teachers mainly taught you to pass the STAAR test. Not so much so you can learn anything else. I would really liked if this changed. Students today need to learn about the real world and how it works.

-What I liked about my schooling was that it did prepare me for college academics. Overall I did like my schooling.
-1 change I would like to see is that the education implements tactics to teach students about vocational and trade jobs, internships, how to do taxes, mortgages, and other necessary things to succeed.
-1 change that I wish didn’t change was holding students accountable for their own actions such as not doing work and them receiving a 0.

I really enjoyed school and that I had the option to get involved with my classmates, and educators. I really like all of the changes that have occurred to schools throughout time. I enjoy the technology advancements however, it does make it hard for students without access to contribute. I wish that schools would try to encourage students in regular courses to challenge themselves in higher level courses. I really do not feel like this is occurring in schools today!

I think the school compulsory laws are fine but maybe they should be more flexible towards the parents schedule because they are responsible for making sure that their kids attend school.

As is stands today, what I like about my schooling is I like how I was able to express myself as a student and a person. I have given lots of privileges. I enjoy meeting new people. I really liked my school district growing up. Nothing much has really changed.

During my four years of high school I was offered so many opportunities and it was amazing, but if I had the opportunity to change anything about high school it would be the times. As students get older then have more responsibilities pulled into their lives and at some point some student must start working. It is hard to have to be in school for 8 hours a day manage to work also. One thing I wish was still the same was discipline, now a days lost teachers are not as strict as they were back then and students have become lazy because of it.

# data[].attributes.body
I enjoy the people you meet at school and, although education is a priority, I enjoyed my school districts push to look at life beyond academics. I wish there wasn't a dress code before I arrived at school and I hope the schools prioritize the childrens mental health and the teachers don't bombard the students with homework that will overwork and take a toll on their mental health.

# data[].attributes.body
I like that school offers opportunity for a better future. It allows students to expand their knowledge of the world around them and prepare them for a further education if they wish to go on to pursue a career that requires a college degree. School has changed from before where now teachers focus on meeting the education needed to pass a state test rather than to benefit the actual student. For the future I hope there is an open mind for students who really are unable to attend school due to certain circumstances, maybe allowing them a more flexible schedule to better suit their needs.

So far today,  i like the different opportunities to get ahead in college that are being introduced. it saves a ton of money, while keeping the students interests in mind. I wish the nap time came back, it would really liven up middle and high school.
I would like to see a more technological classroom with more freedom to pursue their careers and passions

# data[].attributes.body
I like that in my schooling I had the choice of choosing what classes I could take during the school year even to have some time off since I finish earlier.
What I would like to change from my schooling would be to have more resources to succeed.
I don't think much has changed since I left but I wish it had for the better

# data[].attributes.body
I wanted to extend the days for school possibly break up summer break and give some short vacations throughout the year. When I was in school teachers would have a certain deadline to teach a certain topic. If you didn’t understand it by then you weren’t going to do so great when you would be tested on that portion. Having more days added would give the students more time to learn the material. Instead or school being 7 or 8 hours a day maybe 5 make the day not feel so long.
