A room with color, but nothing too extravagant. Maybe a soft turquoise on the walls and a plain, white ceiling. no panels, I tend to get distracted by counting the panels. the floor is a cool and clean white tile, and is fitted perfectly in the room. the class does not yell to say something, yet there is no hand raising rule. the chairs are more comfortable and shaped to our backs. we use pens, as they are quieter and write smoother. no desks are slanted, and the desk groups have an equal amount of desks and students. nothing is dirty or sticky, and breaks are usual. Comedy is welcome, yet not repetitive. for example, the joke where someone walks halfway out of the room at the loudspeaker saying "whoever owns a white Mercedes is blocking the buses." only light one liners that are not too complicated. in this environment, the teachers would not have to worry about misbehaving students, as they do not act out of line due to the calm area around them. the teachers would be happier. instead of the obnoxious bell, it will be a lighthearted voice speaking smoothly, and no static. air diffuser,  which is a device that outputs smells that calm the body and bring pleasure to the person smelling. there is no mandatory uniforms, just a dress code. Nothing broken. Gum is not allowed, to avoid gum being stuck under the side of the desk. hats are allowed.

- A classroom where more advanced kids aren't slowed down by less advanced students, and a class where less advanced students have the help and time to grow. (more accelerated programs, and helpful programs)
- A school where students don't get thrown under the bus in group projects, where everyone has an even work load, (should be more regulated.)
- More ambitious teachers. Teachers that will ensure that their students are always on track and are being taught what is needed to get passing grades.

They work in a courtyard or comfortable area. They need to be free. They use interactive activities to get learning and work done. The teachers also ask questions to help make the students more interactive. Make new friends by using the activities to help them step outside their comfort zone. The activities also teach skills like creativity, leadership, cooperation, listening, respect, etc. Each student should be treated equally. So there would be no racism, sexism, bullying, etc. All the classes (like math, science, ELA, and SS) will be randomized, so no one feels different or hurt. Everyone is cooperative, and themselves. They will express themselves, and respect each-other.

-We think that we should take away Naviance. We don't use the results that we get throughout the year.
-We also think that no one should get held back, they should just have to retake the class that they are struggling in.
-Teachers should be more involved and engaged in the class. They should also not have obvious favorite students.
-We should have a back up plan in case the technology doesn't work or the WiFi is down.
-We should work on our spelling, grammar, and handwriting because students are lacking on that because we are always typing, and there is auto correct and auto capitalization which makes it harder when we actually have to write.
-We agree as a group that we should have Air Conditioning.
We should also have more outside time or more availability to go outside instead of being locked inside all day.
We don't think that the teachers should judge us or call us out and call us out to answer a questions.

We imagined group work with people that everyone wanted to work with, as well as equality all around (so sexism, racism, etc). Everyone would be friends with each other, or friendly to each other. All students would enjoy what they'd be doing in class, and not having the urge to be off topic, game, or annoy others. We imaged all classes having air conditioning and heating, so the students are adapted to the weather during the year. Technology is always working; no wifi or network problems. There would be a 15-20 minute break for the students where they aren't working, but are able to sit back and relax. School would start later and go later into the day so the students aren't sleep deprived and can focus during the day. This would also have them focus more so they aren't dozing off in the middle of class. There would be less students in a classroom, so the teacher can focus on the students who are struggling and be able to get around to all of them. More projects for the students to complete, and less tests for the students to stress about. Teachers wouldn't 'call you out' when you don't raise your hand in class; some students don't understand what's going on, and they don't know the answer. This puts pressure on students and makes them embarrassed. Have teachers help students rather then calling them out when they don't understand what's going on. Teachers wouldn't have favorites or least favorites so all students are treated equally during class. We also wouldn't have each class everyday so students have their classes broken up and are able to do their homework according to the due date, rather that having to do it when they get home and have it pile up. We'd also have PLC everyday so they can do their homework during the day and not having to complete it all at home. No more small or standardized tests like Star, CMT, SBAC, but having one big final test at the end of the year so students aren't held up for one score. The finals will show what they've learned ALL YEAR rather than just at one point in the year.

I see a perfect desk with comfy pads for your butt to sit on
Desks have rulers, calculators, and protractors built into the desk so you do not have to get up and go across the room to get it, it is just right there.
Desks are in a rolly strip across the room to connect with other people for group or partner work
A huge 84inch TV or projector at the begining of the rrom
an actual human teacher teaching us how to do the math problems.

I pictured a classroom that had no computer work and mostly activity's that help engage the students together and communicate instead of being on computers. The activities would give the students the learning and wisdom they need and the common skills they need to succeed. Such as Communication, Courage, Cooperation, Leadership, Individuality, Respect, and Creativity. These activities also would involve teachers,

A place where everyone is equal. Where everyone has fun at school but still gets their work done. Where the teachers will interact with the students. Where everyone feels safe to say what they want. Most of the work is on paper. There is hardly ever drama. You have more breaks in the day. They can chose all of the classes as long as the choice at least two. Everyone will work together. We will learn how to pay taxes, by a car, and make a check.

I see a place where the chairs aren't connected to desk including a comfy chair. I can also see inside the desk all materials are provided, air conditioning, and computers and textbooks to learn. With a teacher up at the front of the class going over a lesson. We will also learn study skills and cooperation skills.

My vision was that each class had about 3 teachers, just in case there was a large group of students that needed help. Notebooks available.100% participation.

My vision of a perfect  school would be that...
-Have smaller classes so the teachers can pay more attention to the students that need the most help.
-To have a  couple of minutes to just relax (brain breaks)

-To learn some of these skills you  could have an example class to see if you like the class.
-shorter class periods.
-to Have air conditioning or to have heat.

I envision an environment where many people are doing group work with who they want to work with. I also envision a more diverse school celebrating different cultures. To learn I was using markers and other supplies to draw posters. But when I envisioned math, I saw computers and the site big ideas. In the classroom I saw a more accepting place where people weren't criticizing each other because of their race, religion gender.

My vision of the perfect school would be:
-    good air conditioning and heating so students are always comfortable
-     less amount of students in each class, more focused on each individual child's needs
-     Each student supplied with the same computer, no more problems
-    longer plc time, allowed to just relax and work on homework
-     every student has reading, math, and writing skills, if one student isn't on the same page as everyone they would get extra help until they understand
-    all students would enjoy school enough that they wouldn't feel the need to be off task or play games on their computers
- good teachers that actually have experience and are good with kids

# data[].attributes.body
I envisioned a safe environment for a more diverse group of kids. They were working with pencil and paper and there was no technology. Everyone was focused on their work and there was no gossip. The school was accepting of all genders, race, religion, sexuality, wealth stance and both the teachers and students were open-minded to change. There was no bullying in the school and everyone had both social and academic skills. There were no "quiet" or left-out kids and no teachers played favorites for anyone. All the kids were given the same supplies for school and AIR CONDITIONING. They brought way more culture into the school and actually learned lots about Black History Month(hint hint). This could also tie in with other holidays celebrating culture or freedom, for example; LGBT+ month and National Women's Day
Teachers should also be more aware of the students when giving them a test/quiz because certain kids may be having an off-day which really affects their score on the test/quiz. Our group also believes that the amount of tests/quizzes we have is a little absurd. We should learn the lessons and have finals, like the highschoolers.

# data[].attributes.body
I picture everyone outside not sitting at a desk but up and moving around working in groups. We aren't just sitting on our computers working. Instead we are doing activities that are helping us learn but they are making learning fun. These activities made students actually want to come to school everyday. You need cooperation skills to work well with other kids. Doing this everyday will help kids get to know one another better.

# data[].attributes.body
I visioned a school cafeteria. I saw that it was full of students who didn't belong to cliques because they weren't afraid to step out of their comfort zone. Also, the students weren't too loud or too rude. This made it so that the teachers didn't have to remind the students what to do or how to act.

Skills that students should have once they are done with middle school are not only educational. Students should know how to have empathy for others.  lso, students should know how to cooperate.

# data[].attributes.body
- Have a community feel amongst the students
- Have smaller classes based on their skill level
- Have comfortable seating
- Have 10 to 15 minutes between classes to go outside or to have down time
- Have reading material on paper and everything else on the computer
- Have an exploratory period where students get to experience different trades and find your interests

# data[].attributes.body
- I sunny environment where every student had a teacher or peer next to them that would individually help them learn the way they want to learn.
-A "comfy corner" in the back of the class where kids would enjoy learning and could take 5 minute "brain breaks" if they feel tired.
- Kids could choose their seating of choice, being yogibos, desks, rolling chairs, etc..
- No kid would dread being in the classroom as if they do the teacher would help them overcome that.
- A skill all would need would be able to cooperate with others and respecting others.
- Students can choose to be either online or on paper to learn.
- Students will do activities that help them learn but are fun and cooperative.
- Classrooms had AC so students felt comfortable

Children are cooperating, but it isn't too noisy. Ideas are being bounced off of each other. Everyone works towards an assigned goal.

I think that the perfect school would have more hands on activities, and in certain classes that the teachers would give us the main idea of the topic, and then we can go work on our own or with a partner. I think that more freedom to the room and supplies, and being able to take like 2 minute breaks, or being able to ask friends or peers questions about the topic, would maybe help students understand better. I also think that we should have more outside activity's because if we are doing something we enjoy, I think it would make it a better learning process. Maybe we should use less screens, or if we continue to, we should do more interactive learning games. Because, I know in our science class, we have interactive games we can play, and I think it helps us understand what were learning.

My vision of a perfect school would be a school with Air Conditioning. I think that students would be more engaged and eager to learn if they weren't sweating. Students would be more excited to go to school, if they weren't dreading going to school and sweating. Also, I think that everyone would be better off if the teachers came over and offered the students help, instead of the students going over and asking them. I also want the classes to have less students so there is more space, and the teachers can focus on that group of kids instead of everyone in a large class. I think that everyone should use computers, but there are still real paper text books, or maybe even some paper readings. Online textbooks are annoying to use and they don't always work. I think that students should have good public speaking, and debating. Students should feel comfortable talking in front of other people, as well as presenting and debating. As much as people didn't like Core 21, I think that people learned things in that class. They learned presentation skills and public speaking.

When I closed my eyes I saw a classroom light with ceiling and desk lamps. It was cheery and bright, and the walls were colored a light yellow. The room was on a beach with crystal clear water. The clear glass windows were open, and you could hear the waves crashing against the sand. But every desk had a lamp, storage area underneath , a stack to textbooks, pens, pencils, erasers, calculator, etc. But, they also had a button to press when they needed help from the teacher. Everyone was equal, but different in many ways. Some were creative and graceful, while others were smart and stern.They all worked to the best of their ability, and cooperated when they needed help. Everyone's desk was different. The more "creative" people had an art and colorful theme, while the more "serious" people had an organized ship and shape desk. Everyone had their own materials and knew their responsibilities of being a student. Every once and a while they'd go outside and play in the soft sand and crystal water. Did I mention that they also had AC?

# data[].attributes.body
I thought of someplace outdoors where all the kids there were nice. Most learning assignments were based on what you wanted to do but al the same time helped you learn. If it was inside then there would be air conditioning. You would have more freedom and you would learn about more real life things that you would need to know like paying taxes or stuff like that.

In my perfect school, there would be no more bullying around the school, no more rumors and everyone would participate rather than the same people answering each question. I would also have pen and paper rather than computers and have air conditioning, so it's more comfortable. Instead of having a letter grade, honors classes should be based on placement and not a letter like A, B or C. There would be no more standardized tests in our school, since it puts a lot of pressure on the students. There are too many computer problems within our school so we should just end up having pencil, pen and paper. lllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllll

My vision of a perfect school was to have air conditioning in all of the classrooms to keep the students and staff cool. The students would engage better if they were cool and not sweating. I also visioned having less students in the classroom and one teacher to they have more attention and can get the help they need. When learning in the classroom, we'd use books when reading instead of online textbooks or pdfs, but the work would be online. We'd also have a 15-20 minutes break period so we can get up and stretch. As well as that, we'd have a snack period so we could take a break and eat something to we aren't hungry during class.
