School can be so dull sometimes. What we want is something to get us excited about getting to our next class. What we want is something good to dance to. What we want is something that’ll get our blood flowing. What we want is some music! Students could hand in a few CDs everyday to the main office so that music could be played in between classes over the intercom. All kids could make mixes that last about five minutes and everyday it would be something different. Different types of genres could be played and instead of students walking to class with 100 kids screaming in their ears, they’d have some hot tunes blasting from the intercom. Walking would turn into dancing and dancing would turn into singing and no one would walk into class miserable. Teachers would see their kids with smiles instead of frowns, even if they were handing out a test that day. Music has been proven to energize and stimulate the minds, so why is Charter, a school that prides itself on such a knowledgeable group of students, not taking advantage of another tool that will improve a student’s performance? We’re sick of walking in the halls hearing amateur rap artists trying to flow, and wannabe Whitney Houstons trying to belt out their next big hit. We want real music. We want real motivation. We want five minutes of stress-free bliss before we stroll into another 45 minutes of constant bookwork and lecturing. ]]> Fri, 27 May 2005 13:57:00 GMT
