My dream school эссе

School of my dream

I am 13 years old and my name is Olga and I go to school. The first reason I go to school is my friends. I also like subjects such as physical education, literature and English. But there are days when I go to classes without desire and pleasure. Probably every child in fantasies has a school of his dreams. Many children do not like to go to school for various reasons. Someone does not like to study, and someone does not want to get up early in the morning to go to class. Some are bored and uninteresting, while others simply do not like teachers, because they are strict, put bad grades and ask a lot of homework.

I also have my dream school. Firstly, it should be beautiful and bright. I want the school to be modern and well equipped. It should have air conditioning, comfortable furniture, blinds on the windows, and many colors. I really love the big exotic flowers, palm trees, ferns, bonsai. Each student should have a computer on the table and soft chairs. My dream school should have a large gym, a sports ground, a swimming pool and a huge concert hall with many different musical instruments.

And in my miracle school, I want a bright and spacious dining room, where you can always take any treat for free. Teachers should be kind and not ask a lot of homework. I wish that the lessons lasted 30 minutes and there were big changes. But during breaks, usually the children shout and run around, so I want small sofas in the corridors and you can sit quietly. At breaks you always want silence. I wanted pleasant music to sound, or there were TVs in the corridors and  pupils could watch interesting and entertaining programs.

Перевод

Мне 13 лет и меня зовут Ольга и я хожу в школу. Первая причина по которой я хожу в школу, это мои друзья. Ещё мне нравятся такие предметы как, физкультура, литература и английский. Но бывают дни, когда я иду на занятия без желания и удовольствия. Наверное у каждого ребёнка в  фантазиях есть школа его мечты. Многие дети не любят ходить в школу по разным причинам. Кому-то не нравится учиться, а кто то не хочет вставать рано по утрам, чтобы идти на занятия. Одним скучно и неинтересно, а другие просто не любят учителей, потому что они строгие, ставят плохие отметки и задают много домашнего задания.

У меня тоже есть школа моей мечты. Во-первых она должна быть красивой и светлой. Хочется, чтобы школа была современной и хорошо оборудованной. В ней должны быть кондиционеры, удобная мягкая мебель, жалюзи на окнах, и много цветов. Я очень люблю большие экзотическтие цветы, пальмы, папоротники, карликовые деревья. У каждого ученика должен быть компьютер на столе и мягкие стулья. В моей школе мечты должен быть большой спортзал, спортивная площадка, плавательный бассейн и огромный концертный зал со множеством разных музыкальных инструментов.

А ещё в моей чудо школе я хочу светлую и просторную столовую, где всегда бесплатно можно взять любое лакомство. Учителя должны быть добрые и не задавать много домашнего задания. Хотелось бы, чтобы уроки длились 30 минут и были большие перемены. Но на переменах обычно дети шумят кричат и бегают, поэтому мне хочется, чтобы в коридорах стояли небольшие диваны и можно было спокойно посидеть. На переменах всегда хочется тишины. Хотелось, чтобы звучала приятная музыка, или в коридорах стояли телевизоры и ученики могли смотреть интересные и развлекательные программы.

    My dream school is first of all a school where life begins with the teacher who is full of passion and liveliness. The teacher not only grabs the students’ attention but keeps them on the edge of their seats wanting to know more. His or her enthusiasm ignites that spark of excitement that opens receiving minds to wider fields of knowledge. Such a teacher asks more questions from the students, explores with the students and is a friend to them. 

My dream school is a school where teaching methods vary from the use of contemporary technologies like robotics to out-of-class experiences.  Those experiences are important because they do not confine students to the four walls of a classroom. 

There would also be integrated learning of subjects both in the Arts and Sciences so that the education received would not be about confining but expanding. Given choices, students get a sense of freedom, can express opinions and will be more sociable. All these make them better persons in society, possessing a wide range of skills. 

My dream school would be complete with amazing facilities like classroom labs, pools, and gyms. A library and counselling centre would be at hand to enable students to be more familiar with their subjects and themselves. Studying in a hands-on environment allows students to use their five senses to gain knowledge. It moulds them to be excited about their abilities and excel with them. Also at hand would be a canteen stocked with healthy food. A balanced diet is vital for students who spend many hours in school. Clean, non-processed, nutritious food is a key feeding requirement for students. 

Foreign exchange programs in my dream school would create understanding and respect. They would satisfy curiosities and instil intercultural awareness. They would be open to all students, rich and poor. Including students from all parts of the world would make this education truly global. 

Sports would be given equal emphasis with academics. After all, education is not only for the mind but for the whole self – mentally and physically. Sporting activities instil a healthy lifestyle by encouraging students to be physically fit, emotionally strong, and have good self-esteem. They build team spirit, and at the same time encourage individuality. Through sports, people from different backgrounds meet and learn to respect each other. 

Academic subjects must be relevant. The syllabus would include significant impact fields like environmental studies, political views, and economic struggles. It would grab the attention of students and lead them to action. 

Improving schools would require international collaboration. Such cooperation would encourage dialogue and lead to common standards. Nelson Mandela once said, “Education is the great engine of development. It is through education that the daughter of a peasant can become a doctor, that the son of a mineworker can become the head of the mine, that the child of farm workers can become the president of a great nation”.  

Education can bring a change in someone’s future as Mr. Mandela observed. The struggle to keep fulfilling that observation must be made by us. Students need to be inspired, amazed and be aware of endless opportunities. 

While school is the best thing that ever happened to mankind, there is still yet more to do.

MY DREAM SCHOOL. Nina MK, Ph.D. We have been engaged in “My Dream School” international project with International Education and Resource Network since the 1990’s., with all levels and ages. The European Schoolnet also offers similar topics. They are great for class discussions, essay writing, extra-curricular activities, and sites creation. Needless to say, any such project stimulates children’s imagination, and gives us teachers valuable insights into their wishes. • Primary school. The kids’ vocabulary is not too big, but their enthusiasm is enormous, and their energy is limitless. My pupils, ages 8-9, always began with drawings which they accompanied with short captions. Their whole word-stock can be activated this way. They would envision bigger rooms, spacious hallways “to run along in during the breaks”, play areas, roomy cafeteria with very good food, huge computer classes, and regular email correspondence with their peers from other countries. Among their recommendations is this rather sad one: teach teachers not to yell at children. • Middle school. By the time they became teenagers, all my pupils would have taken part in a few international projects. Their computer skills would be quite solid, and their vocabulary sufficient for writing short essays and exchanging messages with their partners. We moved from large drawings with short captions to occasional drawings, class-created web pages, and longer essays. At this stage, using English as a means of communication gradually becomes the key element of any project. • High school. At age 16-17, pupils are interested in real face to face meetings and contacts. They still talk about larger and lighter classrooms, bigger, more modern ICT classes, and the painful topic of enormous home tasks becomes a constant. They wish to have specially assigned rooms for after-school studies and activities, better equipped gyms, and cafeteria with breakfast, lunch and dinner served all day long. They universally express the desire for teachers’ salaries to be raised “to sportsmen’s level”. • The teacher. Listening to children of all ages and reading their essays, I learned to formulate my own ideas. When we come to work at any school, we take it as is, and do what we can. My own nebulous thoughts stem from my experience with the Manhattan School for Children in New York, USA, which my children had attended in the 1990’s. It was organized largely thanks to the efforts of several neighbourhood parents who wanted to open up a safe school for their young children, and to the tireless work of wonderful teachers. Together we took up an empty wing of a large school, wrote fund-raising letters to every organization we could think of, held fairs and sales to raise money, involved parents and children into our work, and thus this amazing school started. • Staff. There is a saying in my country: Personnel determines everything. Meaning, it is possible to erect a great school building and cram it full of all the facilities and equipment imaginable. However, if the teachers are not up to par, if pupils dislike them and parents have no respect for them, no good will come out of it. • Language learning in the future. Ideally, any teacher and any pupil who wish to visit another country to learn more about it, and to improve their foreign language skills, should be able to do so. Several schools in my town have ongoing exchange programs with English-speaking schools in Germany, for instance. Only a few students can afford to attend language courses in the UK. • Good salaries, reasonable amount of paper work, sensible hours, flexible curriculum, affordable travel, regular refresher courses. Children of all ages who are willing and able to learn. Teachers who are willing and able to teach. Parents who work with, not against, educators. And world peace. Ah, the stuff that dreams are made of…My dream school is one which strives to develop literate and numerate students who harness the power of digital technology to become ‘self-regulated learners’. Students would do this through learning opportunities which provide them with greater choice of subject matter, learning methods and pace of study. Furthermore, I dream of a school where students are granted the autonomy to challenge themselves and take risks to collaborate, co-create and think critically through learning experiences which are relevant to the real world.

As such, my Dream School acknowledges every student with the dignity and respect they deserve through the provision of student voice and student agency. The school supports of parents as the primary educators, enables children to become young adults who can recognise, have access to, and take up opportunities that will grow them as compassionate people with integrity and moral strength to make right and just decisions.
