Issues that pester me!




Highschool:

  • Large Classes: Many educators and politicians believe that more homework, and more class time is the root of "better education," when in actuality I believe we need smaller classes for more one on one teaching.
  • Changing our classes: This year, Guidance is not allowing anyone to change their schedules so that they can't drop down from a class or switch into a different class.
  • Civics classes: A required, yet useless course that is made to brainwash us kids to be future voters. 
  • Making classes later in the day: Many teens suffer from getting up too early and losing sleep, when it's more natural for elementary school kids to get up early.
  • We should split the year into a Trimester, in order to avoid summer brain, and get more breaks throughout the year. 
  • We should switch from having heavy, hardcover, paperback textbooks, to switching to eBooks/tablets. And through switching to this we can have newer ways of learning.
CGS:
  • Use the Zen Garden, or use the space for more classrooms for CGS.
  • Use Maclab for new forms of teaching.
Norwalk:
  • More kid friendly: There are no arcades, comicbook/cardgame stores, recreation centers, amusements, shopping or many restaurants that are primarily for kids or teens (except for Stepping Stones and My Three Sons). Norwalk has a bit of a dangerous reputation. 
  • Clubs, Associations, or Groups for middle aged adults: My parents don't really have many friends outside of work.
  • More Teen Jobs: Norwalk in the past 30 years has changed from teens working low wage jobs, to  more adults from the lower class working the low wage jobs. 
Buisinesses:
  • Stop having stores such as Abercrombie, Gamestop, Hollister, and many other chains, make every mall I go to be Identical. Primarily Clothing stores.
  • Toy Stores need new appeal: with us being in the age of technology and video games, many toy stores have been suffering and shutting down. Toy makers need to get with the century!
  • Because of this new Technology age, authors should not be so constricted to making hard/soft cover books. We should not only save trees, but also create/use newer mediums of telling stories.
National/World:
  • Charity!! Instead of putting in money for the sake of being a good person, Charities' intense advertising forces people to pay for charities either out of guilt, self riotousness, and/or because it's a social standard.
  • [When you are told that the world is going to end, and you and two other coplayers are the last hope for saving the universe, only to find out IT WAS JUST A SOCIAL EXPERIMENT. (inside joke)]
