School improvement questions

Posted by JB N ME 2GETHER 4EVER on February 15, 2011 at 10:13am in Mr Bruns 360 Message Board

Should we get new computers?

Should we keep the 9-period schedule?

Also, I think we should weight GPA's for people with harder classes. I could get a B in Pre-Calc, a college class and get a lower GPA than someone taking shop and art.

What do you think we should improve

Yes, our computers in the library are slower than snails. Our nine period day is being changed back to 8 next year.. which I don't like because it's less credits available to earn. I agree on the weighting also.. you could take the easiest classes in all of highschool and technically look smarter than a student in all advanced placement and college classes. It's bologna.

New computers would be really nice because they would be faster. I will dislike the 8 hr days because the classes will be longer than usual, more time for the teacher to assign more homework, i think we should weight the class so those who are taking harder classes than others would still have the chance to get a good gpa.

i also think we should get new computers, and i do like the period day especially with the study hall at the end of the day because then if you need to talk to a teacher you can if they are not coaching a sport. and i also think there should be weighted GPA isnt not fair so an art class to affect your GPA just as much as a college class

I think we should definately keep the 9 period day. People who are in sports i think will have a harder time with getting all their credits and taking classes they want to take.
I think it would be nice if we had a weighted GPA, it's not really fair for someone doing a lot of work that isn't required to have a lower GPA than someone who sits in easy classes all day. and even if someone who sits in easy classes doesn't have the capability of doing well in a college class, they're not getting penalized; they can still have a 4.0.. i think it would only have good results if we changed it.

I think the 9 period schedule is great, becasue then we can fit more classes in.

I like the 9 hour schedule, I can get more credit done with it. And I think we do need new computers, these ones are a million years old and some have keys missing.

I definately agree with the GPA thing. Especially for the people who are taking chemistry right now while Mr. Hermanson has been gone. They're having to learn all that by themselves pretty much so they should get a little slack on that. And I think the computers are fine as they are right now. At least they work most of the time, they could be worse. There are a lot more important things that this school needs. Like a heating/cooling system that actually works right.

I would be great to get school computer for each student. We need to keep the 9 periods also. GPA's should not be weighted because if you are put in an advanced class, you are expected to be able to succeed in that class.
