"If I could change school" -- The Lorax

If I could change  school I would most certainly start with its view. School would no longer be an institution that promotes over competitiveness, the idea that only the most talented will ever get anywhere in life and only those who are clever and aware enough will get the best out it. School would take a whole new different turn.

If I could change school individualism would be the motto. I would remove the label that comes with the association with the school. Students would no longer have to conform to what the school motto requires them to be, instead I would let them decide their own values, after all not everyone has the same view about what is important. I would turn the school into a place of self discovery where students would learn about self acceptance not selfishness or pride but just to accept themselves, fully and truly.  With self acceptance they will learn to accept others too.

If I could change school, I would teach students to recognize their voice, so that way they can distinguish it among the other six billion voices in the world. I would teach them to not allow the world to change them because it will be harder for them to change the world. They would learn self esteem and to celebrate each day that passes by. If I could this change school I would make it more liberal and allow students to make their own choices without limitation.


If I was able to change  school there will be no more thinking skills, the only skill that would be taught is that of thankfulness. I would paint the place pink and splatter the walls with ink. If I could change school I would make sure that students are known not, for what they do but for who they are in what they do.
