If I were in charge of my high school, what would I do?
What a question.
First off, I would fire that lousy good-for-nothing nurse who NEVER let me out of class, and always made me do mundane chores for her during fourth block. Not really. I loved my school nurse, psychologist, and console-er. I would make her the school nurse for just the seniors of the high school.
I would hire a guidance counselor with some background. I'm in college and everything, but I'm still blind as to how this whole rig-a-moroll works. My senior guidance counselor was a guidance counselor for as long as I was a senior. She had no experience and trying her hardest couldn't do well, because no one taught her how to counsel high school "leaving" kids. I would put her back into teaching, where she was good.
I would also get rid of my ninth grade creative writing "teacher". Some "teacher" she was. She sat on her rear end, stared at a computer screen all day, and gave us prompts. That was the extent of her teaching. Oh! And the favoritism she played was outrageous. Kids from other classes would come in, and talk to her, rather loudly I might add, and make her get on to us. I wish that woman no luck in life.
On a happier note, well not really happier, more like, neutral note, I would make sure the technology lab had the best technology, not the kindergarten tech room. Not the teacher's lounge. And certainly not the special ed. room. I spent all four years of high school fixing computers. I was the tech guy. All the teachers knew it. In tenth grade when the school purchased new computers, we got none. By we, I mean the tech room kids. We were stuck on Windows '98 until one of the teachers messed up his/her computer and we "claimed" it. We would dish out an old comp. and take the newer model in for "work". They never got them back. Professional computer thieves we were. I remember once, actually faking a crash, so that we could get a new computer. It was AWESOME.
Overall, I liked my high school and not much would change.
