My Ideal School s5k4e

1 MY IDEAL SCHOOL School is an institution for educating children. There are institution for teaching a particular subject such as art school and secretarial school. In Malaysia, there are four types of school, the Chinese stream school, the Tamil stream school, the national school and the Arabic school. What is my ideal school? Is it a type of school that I am dreaming about? The meaning of ideal are satisfying one’s idea of what is perfect and existing only in the imagination or as an idea; unrealistic and so not likely to be achieved. So, the definition of my ideal school is satisfying one’s idea of what is their perfect school and existing only in their imagination, unrealistic but so not likely to be achieved. My ideal school’s infrastructure is build in a wide area and has the view of a sea. 90 percent of the infrastructure is made of thick and transparent glasses except for the toilets and changing rooms. There are three buildings; two escalators and a lift in each of the building. These are important because, nowadays the buildings made are not enough to endure the number of students every year. Furthermore, the escalators and lifts will reduce the troublesome students and teachers will face to move from one place to another. The field is situated between the three buildings and all the students have their own lockers. There are also a swimming pool, tennis, squash and bton courts, a gym and a huge library full of books, magazines, newspapers and so on. I want the school has its own botanical garden and a mini zoo. The school is a co-educational school. A typical day in the school begins at 8.15 a.m. and after the break it is back to more lessons till finally the bell rings for dismissal at 2.10 a.m. In addition, the lessons are divided into two halves. For the first half, students

2 are teaching to learn the standard lessons. However, students learn practical lessons such as cooking and sewing and also assign to present or talk about current issues. These are important because the world is full of call to try one’s skill or strength. Every afternoon, creative activities such as art and playing music instruments will take place. A portion of this time will be also dedicated for the class current projects. Classes would be limited to fifteen students, a size small enough to allow individual attention but large enough to furnish the feeling of belonging to a group. The tuck-shop has a buffet style which means students can choose their own food and drinks. The menu has a large variety of cuisine and change everyday. The school has no uniforms but the students are emphasis to wear smart and clean attire. In this computer age, the tech-enabled learning is a must. Therefore, the students are well-equipped with their own laptops and there will be no more liquid crystal display (L.C.D.) and projector except visual view from the teachers’ laptops. If the students missed their lessons, they can log on to their class’s website and learn what they have missed. Hence, they can catch up the lessons they have missed. The grade given to the students will be based on their involvement in co-curricular activities and also involvement would be based on interest and the satisfaction of publicly confirming their talents. Moreover, by doing a lot of activities, students are kept busy and can avoid getting involved in activities which are not beneficial to them. If these ideas could be successfully implemented, the learning environment in my ideal school would be a fascinating self-journey, as useful for building emotional knowledge as it would be for sharpening academic skills. Learning would be a fulfilling, exciting experience, and students wouldn’t have to dread school, as they do now. Most importantly, when the

3 students graduated, they would have a firmly-instated sense of purpose that would make them better prepared for life. Also, every mid-term holiday, students will be accompanying by the teachers to visit interesting places such as museums or historical places. They can also visit other country as they can experience the four seasons, meet other people and make new friends, learn other cultures and believes and also mix with other students from different backgrounds and learn other language. As a proverb says, ` a long journey will widen your horizon.’ The most important aspects in all schools in this world are someone who give instruction to, and communicate (knowledge, skill, etc), the teachers. The teachers play an important role in someone lives. I yearn friendlier, approachable, fun and hardworking teachers but at the same time strict to the student who disobeyed the school’s law because the standard of discipline among students nowadays is deteriorating. If my ideal school becomes reality, I will be the first one to take an ission!
