The things that I will change if I was elected a president


written by Brian

 If I was a president, I would like to change several educational systems. From a student's point of view, it seems that there should be six things corrected. Treating students equally, doing their homework, studying before tests, paying attention in class, not fighting in recess and in classes, and do not run, hit doors, and talk loudly in hallways. I believe that if this happens, school will be in a good condition for studying.

 First, I think that teachers should treat students equally. In our class, when we volunteer, almost every time, the class president or vice president gets picked. Also, when the teachers ask us to do something, it is pretty obvious that the same person will go again. To solve this problem, so I will make teachers let students take turns volunteering so everyone can get a chance to volunteer. It even seems that the class is only contains the class president/vice president, and a few others.

 Second, I think that teachers should force every pupil should do their homework. Even though there are tiny bit of homework and the teacher rarely gives us homework, some students do not do them. I think that homework is important because you can review on what you learned. I know that most kids pre-study 6th graders' or so on but I think that it is also important to review. In other to fix this matter, I think that teachers should take away privileges from students who did not do their homework.

 Third, I think that teachers should make students study before tests. One of the students in our class never studies before tests and never gets scores over seventy. I think that the day before the test, the teacher should review and give homework for the test. Also in the recess before the test, I believe people should not fool around like hooligans and fight but sit down and study. If this is performed carefully, I believe that the average score will go up.

 Fourth, I think that pupils should pay attention on class. If they do not listen to the teacher, what is the whole point of coming to school? Also, it bothers other people. In our class, they talk so much at class that it is hard for me to hear what the teacher is saying and I get so frustrated because I want to say "shut up" but I cannot because I know that I must not swear. To fix this, I think teachers should turn their seats ninety degrees so they will be always facing the back, which is embarrassing.

 Fifth, I think teachers should not make students fight and run around in classes and recess. In our class, they run around and fight. "Seriously, what is so fun about it?" While doing that people get pushed, cry and get hurt. While they run around, tables get pushed so you have to move them to your seat. I am not saying that recess should be banned or something, but I think that students should not fight and run around. Also in physical education, students fight rougher until one of them gets hurt which is a disaster. 

 Lastly, I think that students should not talk, run, and hit doors in hallways. At school, when we study, people hit our doors and run so it is disturbing. They also talk so loudly that it is hard to concentrate. People also run in hallways and sometimes crash into other people. To fix this, I think they should put two security cameras on each floor to prevent people from running, talking loudly, and hitting doors in hallways.

 I think that if I get to change these, it would be good to go to school. Most of the things here are not happening because since teachers can not hit students, there is nothing to really make them do something. I think if they do this, students' grades would go up and students will grow up to be someone who will help the country. I think that if I was the president, I will order every school to correct these things.
