After I watched the video, if students designed their own school or program It made me think about how we are barely aloud to do anything we want in school these days, Genius hour opened up a slot to promote our creativity and improve our skills in the way we want without the teacher telling us exactly what to do.
The program that the kids have made in the video not only lets your creative mind take over, but it shows your leadership skills and helps work better in groups with criticizing other projects or just helping other people if they are stuck on something. Of course you will always need some sort of supervision as some kids may want to just join the program to try and get away from doing any work, so having a supervisor in once a week would definitively be a good idea.
The program can also help you in the future with choosing a job, if you have learned allot of different skills in the independent program then you will have an idea of what kind of jobs are out there and have a understanding of how to do them and what to expect if you sign up.
I think that this program would definitely be a good idea at Fraser heights maybe for higher grades because by then they are thinking about what kinds of jobs they could get and this program could definitely help.
Hi Richard, My name is William and I'm in Mrs. Wells year 9 (grade 8)English Class. I enjoyed reading your article and agree that a program that lets students choose how they want to learn is a very good idea. Very detailed paragraphs with minor grammar and spelling mistakes here and there. Overall it's a 'Choice' article 'mate'.
