PE:

Arts:
Students should be trained in the arts. Classes should be mixed by age and skill level.
Current Events/Modern Issues:
Current Events/Modern Issues class is one that focuses on current events, international studies, and issues that our world is facing in these times. We can do this class democratically, too. Each class can be arranged by subject, region, theme, etc. A modern issure that would be discussed in this class could be sex trafficking. Classes should be mixed by age and skill level.
Change/Life Skills Class:
Change/Life Skills class is one that focuses on four areas: Making a difference outside the classroom (hands-on volunteering - 100 minute classes allow for a fifteen minute bus ride to and from a volunteer site and plenty of time to volunteer); Making a difference in the classroom (writing letters/making things for officials/military/sick children/community leaders/etc. asking for change, thanking them, and/or supporting them; meetings about issues within the school and helping MA); Practical Skills (how to balance a checkbook, buy a house, get a job, do taxes, etc.); and Personal Skills (transitioning to college/stages in life; life lessons like one of my professors who gave us a life lesson lecture). Classes should be split by year because of the practical skill and personal skills section of this class.
