“What concepts of society and education do you think are silly and unimportant? In your school or education, what have you had to do that you find to be worthless? What do you think would be a better way to handle the situation? (What alternatives could you provide to make things better for yourself and your classmates?) How do you let “the system” know about your disappointment?”
The concepts of society and education that are silly and unimportant to me are that we can't leave the school for lunch and that we only get 20 minutes for lunch while other countries get hours. In my school things that I find worthless that we have to do are having to stay in the lunchroom or gym before class and not being able to go and see the teachers if we need help with an assignment. Some alternatives to make things better would be to have a sign in sheet if we need to go see a teacher or we could start school later like Shawnee Mission South, if roaming the halls is a big issue with the principal. To let "the system" know about my disappointment would be to write a letter to whom it may concern or go and talk to them in person about the alternatives.
