Even on a day when we dont have class we have to blog... well overall nothing really happened. Our group talked a little further and elaborated on certain ideas. We think that since most if not all of the teachers are grumbling about how students do not "appreciate" what they have or that we dont have any values that that should be integrated within our plans. It shouldnt be put aside as an unfixable problem because it is important and we think that kids should learn this stuff because its life. The problem is a lack of understanding and self common sense that people tend to stray away from for some reason. Students should already know their values but sadly some dont and so why not have a little value lesson integrated within a tangible subject. For example, opening up the garden at main gate for students to work, and allowing the river to flow through to connect students to their culture right on campus. Thats a lesson within its self. When students see that they will start to learn because obviously counseling, classes, and verbal lessons arent enough. There should be community service but homeroom time slots are to little for that so make a mandatory grade service day, maybe atleast once a quarter and it has to be related to a culture to where students would atleast learn 3 new things every trip and maybe a few speeches during those field trips to get through to the students. The reason I say that is because if were outside not in school we tend to listen, but at school students just dont want to deal with things and go to class so they dont pay attention. It goes down to every detail and a big change project connections to millions of other little pieces within itself and that what we want to try to do. To get everybody on the same page so we are one ohana. I think that is the main goal and focus should be set on doing that. When big changes are made students should appreciate that its for their better and eventually hopefully everyone realizes that the school is just trying to help us.
