If Students Designed Their Own School

The idea of “Students Design Their Own School” would have its pros and cons. For some kids, this would be the best program, but not for all. Some kids, like me would need a little motivation to stay on task and stay focused. Others would need no motivation to stay on task all the time. I would also need a teacher in the room because I need someone to put pressure on me while I’m doing work or else it won’t turn out that good. I would stay neutral on this idea because this can greatly benefit one and possibly harm the other. I know what you’re thinking, “How about the kids who need that motivation to work don’t take this program.” Well, I have something to say. Some kids don’t take school seriously, so they would join this program and slack off. For my benefit, I wouldn’t take this program, but for others this could possibly make their life. I have a feeling that this could be abused by kids who don’t take school seriously, so its hard to put a one sided opinion. After all looking at the pros and cons, it’s hard to say "yes" or "no" because they have equal advantages and disadvantages, in my opinion. Since everyone is different I would stay neutral on this idea.
