My Ideal School

My ideal school would be in Virginia, around the Lake Anna area. A school day would consist of 9 periods. Classes would range from Chemistry to Phys. Ed. to even Life Skills. Once a week they would have an "Outdoor Day" where all we do is DNR associated activities. We would strive for excellence in every department along with wildlife protection. My school would be the Lake Anna Pike.

The classes in my school would need at least 80% grades or better, but would not have written test. Tests would be taken hands-on in situations like the student's prefered job area. The students would have the option of not taking finals if they were in the category of 95% or higher. We encourage learning by the experience, not just by the book. Some classes like english and math where it's hard to learn by experience, would be a practice based class as well, just with paper and pencil.

Breakfast and lunch programs would be nutritional and homemade food choice based. We would encourage grilled and baked food choices made by hand by caring lunch staff. We say "yes" to more fruit and vegetable choices, along with more milk, tea, and juice choices offered. We are not saying, "I want steak and potatoes every day." but we want real meat for every meal. We want students to give an 8 or better for every meal.

The teachers at Lake Anna would apply to the student board, not the school board for their jobs. We feel like the students need to feel a bond to the people responsible for their education. We feel like the teachers would also create a bond with the students for a more one on one experience. We feel like if the teachers were like the three in our english department, they would have an amazing experience throughout school. The experience is half of school.

We believe that sports and the arts are a very important part of life. If you never try, how do you know you will not succeed? Our answer is you have to try first. We strongly encourage students to join either program or both! Activities are a great part of the development of responsibility and loyalty. They also help keep the participants out of trouble. We hired the best coaches we could for the students, to give them the best chance at being number one in every sport they participate in. We encourage earning praise and glory in every activity.
