THE BEST SCHOOL IN THE WORLD
I am going to write about what I consider would be a very
good but possible school in our country. I will be concentrating on various
aspects connected with the issue and explain how I see them.
The design has a high
architectural and sustainable value. It provides not only a good enviroment for
the daily learning but also for after-school child care, for the sports and
social and recreational activities. It is full of light, glass, huge Windows,
open spaces, vegetation and water also in the inside, and gardens in the
outside.
It must be easy to mantain and repair not only for
economical reasons but also for cultural sustainability from generation to
generation.
My school has different workshops rooms or studies rooms where
the students spend many hours out of their homeclassrooms learning by doing,
experiecing and experimenting.
The class lasts 90 minutes followed by a recession of 15 minutes free-play break. Fresh air, nature and regular physical activity breaks
are considered engines of learning. In the early and primary years the students
hardly have homework in order they can spend time playing with friends and and
have time for their own hobbies.
The teachers are highly
qualified, highly respected and highly professionalised who conduct personalised one-on-one instruction;
class sizes are manageble. The curriculum is rich and developmentally
correct. There is regular physical
activity; little tests. There is also a classroom atmosphere good,
collaboration, warmth and respect for the students.
