School can be considered as our second home as we spend most of our time there. If we were to talk to students about their school life‚ they may told you that it was no more than just listening to the boring lectures of the teachers.

My ideal school life consists more of self-learning‚ rather than having the teachers to conduct lessons and teach us almost everyday. The students no longer

Recently‚ I made a list of what I think my perfect school would look like. As I began developing the list‚ I was struck by two things: Firstly‚ how most of it was about making school more student-centered‚ and secondly‚ that I didn’t mention technology once. For me‚ this second trend bears a little more fleshing out. I would never say that there is no place for technology in education‚ far from it… But I think the place of technology is to support a more student-focused‚ relevant and engaging methodology

My Ideal School One of my ultimate goals in life is to start a progressive school which focuses on developing a passion for living and self-knowledge in children. Schools nowadays have a rote‚ one-size-fits-all curriculum‚ which is conducive to learning for only a small percentage of students.

In economics‚ inflation is a rise in the general level of prices of goods and services in an economy over a period of time.[1] When the general price level rises‚ each unit of currency buys fewer goods and services. Consequently‚ inflation reflects a reduction in the purchasing power per unit of money – a loss of real value in the medium of exchange and unit of account within the economy.[2][3] . Positive effects include ensuring that central banks can adjust real interest rates (to mitigate recessions)

Choosing a favorite teacher is fairly difficult when one puts into account all the types of teachers they have known‚ all of them are important.

Teachers are persuasive and have the power to build a child up from an immature student to become a responsible adult; or they can completely and utterly crush a students hopes and dreams. As an identical twin my mother has always pulled a few strings to have my sister and
