Welcome!

Welcome to my blog! This is a place for me to organize and display my thoughts on education and get feedback. My current plan is to open a private high school called Murray Academy. Above are pages with my most recent thoughts. Enjoy!

Schedule 8/8/12

I've decided that the day is too long, and there is no time for after school activities, so here is my newly proposed schedule!


8:30-9:55 - 1/5
10:00-11:25 – 2/6
11:30-12:55 – Lunch/Homebase
  • 11:30-12:10
  • 12:15-12:55

1:00-2:25 – 3/7
2:30-3:55 – 4/8
4:00-5:00 – After school activities

Lunch and homebase (study hall) would be during lunch. Half the students would have lunch first and homebase second (lunch 11:30-12:10, homebase 12:15-12:55), and the other half would have it flipped. That way we would only have about 200 students at lunch at once. 

After school activities: 
Arts and sports and some teams can have up to 3 days in the week 
Student Council 
PSAT/AP/SAT prep clubs/classes
Clubs and fun activities like I had at the British School of Amsterdam in 5th grade. Second semester I have an after school activity every day of the week. I had classes like handwriting and art. 

I want to encourage students to have something every day after school (and encourage parents to make their kids sign up for an activity for every day of the week).
