Thread 81493155

I really want to design a new kind of school. This is the schedule for my students.
>6:30 AM - Wake Up
>7:30 AM - Breakfast
>8:30 - Physical Training
>9:30 AM - 1:30 PM - Core Academic Blocks (Math + Science, English, Social Studies, Foreign Language)
>1:30 PM - Lunch
>2:30 PM - 5:00 PM - Workshops (Personal Projects - Art, Music, Shop, Study, etc)
>5:00 PM - 6:00 PM - Great Books Seminar
>6:00 PM - Dinner, Free Time
>11:00 PM - Lights Out

>>81493155 (OP)
Parents who care about their kids force them essentially to do that

>>81493155 (OP)
>6:30 AM - Wake Up
Painfully obvious bait is obvious.

>>81493179
The thing is I don't think it works if the kid isn't motivated himself. Kids who get forced to do stuff they don't want to rarely turn out well. The defining factor of my school is that it only accepts students who want to be there.

>>81493192
not bait, this is what I honestly believe, and I'm not sure what the problem is. I woke up at 6:30 starting in middle school, I think it's what most high schoolers do.

You have lunch way too late.

>>81493194
>Kids who get forced to do stuff they don't want to rarely turn out well
Yes that's why im here

>>81493155 (OP)
that is literally just school with 1 extra hour at night

>>81493282
Most schools have lunch before like 10:30, I'm just counterbalancing that
>>81493307
Well also the division of work into classwork in the morning and freeform workshops in the afternoon, and the mandatory physical education

>>81493155 (OP)
>630
a little austere for kids in school but whatever
>Physical training
like what? unless it can be made fun or competitive in some way kids will gaff it off
>lunch
too late in the day the kids will be hungry and lose focus from this already strict ass school
>workshops&great books
only sensible thing here but from 230-5pm?
i wouldn't stay at work this long wtf? what book is so great i wouldn't ignore this to skip school and talk to girls or something?
This shit is fucking stupid 13hours in school? are you mad?
This was copy for copy my school life in Nigeria so if you want that move there with all the school obssessed shitskins or Japan or something

>>81493455
Well, theoretically this is a school for students who want to learn. So most of what you're listing would motivate students.
>6:30
Are there really people who woke up later than this for school?
>physical training
Weightlifting, cardio, flexibility, etc
>lunch
No reason not to move lunch earlier, I just feel like it works better as a division to the two halves of the school day

>>81493155 (OP)
>a new kind of school
>describes the most generic boarding school ever

>>81493520
>students who want to learn
>Austere military like regiment
Whatever I guess since i've been in a school like this and the military let me fix this fuck ass schedule
Physical training should be before Breakfast, an hour isn't enough time to digest the food unless you want those fuckers yakking all over the place.
Better yet combine physical training with Lunchtime since they can train for an hour then eat this way they can wake up at 0700
No student really WANTS to learn anything they probably just want to live up to their parents
>0730
Wake up, in this regimented school waking up and getting ready for school should take no more than 30 mins
>0800
Breakfast
>0900-1100
Begin school day and do classes
>1100-1245
Do your physical training then eat lunch
>1300-330(or 430 since we're so obsessed with living in this fucking school)
finish the rest of the days curriculum
Im assuming this is a boarding school like the one i went to so
>5pm- 7pm
Dinner and study hall(kill me NOW)
Anyway most of that shit would suck unless you have an express reason to train these kids
my school was the way it was because they were trying to train us to fuel the countries war machine because we were fighting terrorist every other day. Students going to simply "learn" is too broad they can just take IBM classes

>>81493648
I'm trying to design a school that would appeal to me. Surely there are enough students like myself out there that they would want to go to a school like this, right?

>>81493347
No there was definitely phy ed, art and shop classes

>>81493703
Sure but at most schools those classes are pointless time fillers

>>81493677
not.....really, people don't like school they just like the people there thats why alot of schools are geared towards being social even higher education.
A couple kids would like this maybe if there was something very specific(military school for military hopefuls, young tradesmen etc) or it guaranteed them success in college(scholarship, extra college credits, a better chance at a better college etc)

>>81493155 (OP)
This is just any top-tier boarding school or military college.

>>81493729
There really aren't people out there who want to better themselves?

>>81493754
people who go to schools to better themselves go to trade schools or something
Kids aren't thinking about bettering themselves they want to hang out and have fun and shit

>>81493774
That's gay, I'm gonna find all the most motivated kids and provide them a top-tier education they can't find anywhere else and you can't stop me

>>81493774
>people who go to schools to better themselves go to trade schools or something
Yeah? Don't think they'd have a go at Oxford, MIT, Harvard, Seoul National, etc?

>>81493793
Thats why i said "or something"
From OPs words i'm assuming this is Middle school and HS so i don't really think all these high institutions would come to mind.
And honestly people only go to those schools for the clout

>>81493812
It's high school
Clout is a part of it but I really do want to provide a classical liberal arts education to produce well-rounded students

>>81493812
Upper-class kids are basically guaranteed entry to Ivy or Russell unis, because boarding school gives them an astronomical advantage, and that's basically what OP is pitching.

>>81493855
Yeah well what i was saying in response is this
>The schedule kinda sucks and would stress the students out
>This kind of school already exists i went to one but the schedule was more compact than what OP said, it would still be really hard on the kids but make more sense
>kids don't really like this shit and really only tolerate school for social reasons. Only small percentage of kids will like this other than the ones big wig parents will force them to go
OP also said its for classical liberal arts, ok that makes a bit more sense but the schedule would still be wonky for even that
In my school we had Science and industry(my fieldd), Commerce and Liberal arts and we all had different schedules and courses that were geared towards that.

>>81493155 (OP)
Sounds very Hitlerish

>>81494078
I take this as an original compliment

>>81493194
>I don't think it works if the kid isn't motivated himself.
Duh, kids don't want to do anything. It's on the parents to motivate them.

>>81494918
>kids don't want to do anything
That's rough, I think maybe that's a sign that we made a huge wrong turn as a civilization and we need to fix it.

>>81494939
No, you just have to support your kids a little and not beat them to death, not very hard to do.

>>81494947
Well of course you have to support kids, that's why they're going to a school instead of just left to their own devices
But I don't believe for a second that high school age students have always been unmotivated. I think at that age a healthy student has strong desires and wishes to actualize them.

this is the kind of autistic thread i come to r9k for

>>81495017
What can I say, educational theory is my special interest
