Having respect and having it go both ways for student to teacher and teacher to student is the number one factor on how the student will gain information and evolve as not only a student but person outside of the classroom. Having that mutual respect strengthens the classroom setting and allows more growth and learning to happen.

I feel the democratic teaching and education is effective and will continue to evovle in a positive direction. We will see more kids becoming involved and finding their passions which will unlock their want to learn and put their full effort into school which is what we want to see.

Having a democracy is always said to have its positives especially in school but during this time school is where students feel the most judged and unknown of who they are or what there future is. Also this approach to learning with a curriculum, little flexibility on content learned and other factors is more likely to not align with the teaching styles of a lot of kids especially this day in age.

# data[].attributes.body
The point of school is to allow students to apply themselves and utilize their skills no matter what challenge is thrown at them. Yes being able to learn the material such as math or science is important to have in their tool box, but the true lessons school is going to have on the students that will constantly be seen into their adulthood are being able to be flexible with their learning, taking on new challenges and trying their best.

The aim for schools in a democracy is to offer all children no matter their background, wealth, status in society or other ideas an equal opportunity to access a positive educational experience to give them the opportunities to be able to choose and have options of what they decide to do with their lives. A democracy allows anyone to become anything. This includes at the very start an education that will give the knowledge of not just school work, but life lessons and ideals that they will choose to utilize when they choose a career or lifetime acitivty for themselves.

I think Democratic learning is a great tool to use within the classrooms and within school.

The aim of schools and democratic society is to allow students to talk freely without feeling like they will be judged by their peers.

Inclusion is the most important thing in activity guidelines. Students should be inclusive of everyone they may encounter. Schools are meant to be a safe, positive, and inclusive environment for all students. They are suppose to prepare students for the real world and the different types of people they may encounter.

I worry about the education students are receiving. Students are taught mostly through technology which may be difficult for some people.

I am worried that we are too focused on passing and not focused on actually learning anything. Many students learn what they need to for that specific exam and then forget what they have learned by the next exam. I also worry that we are changing into away that we learn through technology more than on paper which could effect the reason why so many people cant memorize things. It is a known fact that you meomorize things better when righting them over and over again.

I believe that schools should implement more skills that have to do with everyday life to fully prepare us to go into the real world. Technology has made schools less interactive and engaging which is a crucial part in mental and physical development. Children and teens rely on technology to complete their schoolwork and aren't learning important information needed to be a successful adult later in life.

The point of schools is to give a safe space for children to grow and learn about important ideas of society.

They are supposed to prepare children for the future and help reach them their full potential. The faculty gets to decide what they are learning and shape children into who they will become. It's important what children learn because it could influence their beliefs and opinions.

Respect is one of the core fundamental values that every individual must have. I think schools are one of the necessary environments that should be in charge of teaching their students about respecting others but also respecting themselves. In some cases, sometimes students might get caught up so much in the idea of being assertive and trying to prove their point that they forget to maintain their respect for other individuals also. I think respect is an important value that will help to maintain a safe learning environment where students will not be afraid and discouraged to share their voice and promote having more healthy conversations.

Worries that I have about the current schooling system is that technological advancements are taking over. Before all these advancements, students and teachers were able to create genuine connections and feel safe and loved in the classroom. Now, there is less engagement in the classroom. This causes for a disconnection between the teachers and students, and makes students feel ignored. This can cause for an increase in mental health issues.

I think that schools are important for individuals because it is an environment where they are exposed to so many different topics, events, and people. It is an environment where there is always a lesson that can be learned. In addition to this, I think besides teaching students new information, schools should also be able to make a positive impact on them which will help them to grow up and be educated as open-minded and confident leaders and advocates, who are always willing to help out those in need and bring a positive social change into their communities.

# data[].attributes.body
The point of schools is to instill confident in students by supplying the tools for these students to make educated decisions. Schools also enable students by creating an environment in which students feel powerful and heard.

# data[].attributes.body
Schools in a democratic society aim to create an all inclusive environment in which students can strive and learn how to make educated decisions with the knowledge they are supplied. This knowledge overall helps make these students educated citizens in todays society and helps shape our society as a whole. Public schools should supply with students with the basics of what one must know in order to go on with their day-to-day activities. They should be teaching the basics of math, english, science, reading, etc. In the end, what defines an effective educational system and well-educated people are determined by society, educators, legislators, and communities working together. This is important because those who have the ability to teach students are the ones who are single-handedly shaping the future of our society by brining up the next generation.

One excitement I have about schools in the future is to see the schooling system become even more advanced and accessible to everyone. As we may know even though getting a school education from kindergarten to high school might be free, getting a college undergraduate and graduate degree is not free. Even though there are so many more individuals with goals and dreams, who would like to attend college and get an education, it might not be possible for everyone depending on their personal and economic circumstances. In the future, I want to see more people have access to education which is such a privilege to have, who will use education to fulfill their dreams and bring positive and social change to their communities.

One of the worries I have at this moment when it comes to schools and education is how dependent students are becoming on ChatGPT and using it to complete their writing assignments. In my opinion, because of how much some students are becoming dependent on ChatGPT to do their assignments for them, it will remove the values of authenticity and writing skills from them. As we know writing is one of the most essential skills that a person can have no matter what field they are in or what subject they are studying, so I believe that by relying on ChatGPT all the time, students will lose their creativity and skills in writing. Also, because of how fast ChatGPT completes the writing or any type of different assignment, and how convenient it is, this will lead students to give up on working hard and staying committed to completing their school assignments on their own.

# data[].attributes.body
In my opinion, the main point of schools besides educating the students about different topics and subjects is to prepare them for the real world. I believe that every individual who attends a school should be able to gain some understanding of the real world, how to navigate their lives as mature adults after graduating, and be able to gain fundamental values such as; loyalty, responsibility compassion, respect, and creativity. In addition to this, another point of schools should be to create a diverse body of students and to encourage them to be open-minded and willing to learn from one another, no matter how different their ideologies and beliefs might be from one another. By being willing to learn from one another students will learn how to have healthy conversations, socialize, and communicate effectively, which are some of the most essential skills for every student no matter what field they choose to work in the future.

Public schooling is intended to be successful at fostering democratic values and preparing students to actively participate in democratic society. In essence, it aims to cultivate informed and engaged citizens who possess the knowledge, critical thinking skills, and civic virtues necessary to contribute to the functioning of a democratic system. This includes teaching students about the principles and institutions of democracy, promoting respect for diverse perspectives, and instilling a sense of civic responsibility and ethical conduct. Moreover, public schooling endeavors to create inclusive learning environments that empower all students, regardless of background or identity, to participate fully in society and exercise their rights as citizens. Through its emphasis on democratic education, public schooling aspires to equip individuals with the tools and understanding needed to uphold democratic ideals, navigate complex societal issues, and actively shape the future of their communities and nation.
