Footsteps and chatter fill your ears. You stumble into the crowd as everyone tries to stall showing up to class on time. It's 9:15, and school has just begun. Um, I mean, classes have just begun. School started an hour and a half or so ago. You have to be at school for 7:30; but don't worry, you don't have anything to do until you're fully awake. At 9:30, the second bell rings, class goes for an hour, and then you move on to the next one. Academic classes and electives are intermingled with perfect balance, so one day isn't more straining than another. For example; say you're in Geometry Honors, Culinary, and Computer Programming with a Library Block. You'd start the day with Culinary, then Geometry, then your Library Block, and finally, Computer Programming. Academic, elective, academic, elective. See? Balanced. Okay, so now it's 12:30. You just got out of your last class. Now, it's a lunch block. Students in any grade can sit anywhere. Lunch can be eaten in or outside, also, the meals are prepared by the culinary arts class. After lunch, at 1:20, students head out to the athletic fields, culinary arts hall, gym, auditorium, band room, or library. The following activities will be participated in until the bell at 3:00; soccer, baseball, softball, tennis, badminton, volleyball, basketball, lacrosse. A movie will be played in the auditorium (depending on rating and student body choice), snacks will be made for everyone in the culinary arts hall, yoga in the gym, music can be played in the band room, or you can just settle down with a book in the library. In conclusion, if I had to run a highschool, it would be laid back and fun, while academic and healthy.
