If Students Designed Their Own School Response

       In class we watched a video about students making their own class, where they get to do whatever they desire to do.  This class lasts a whole semester and they have no tests or quizzes they just simply teach themselves.  I think this is actually a very good idea because some people want to learn about things that aren't taught in classes and in this class they get to choose whatever they would like.  This is a lot like genius hour where we can design our own projects.  There are a few disadvantages with this class because these students could be missing out on learning in the other classes too.  Also lots of people that would take this class but wouldn't actually do any work since the have so much freedom which would make the class completely pointless and ineffective.  I am very surprised that the principal actually let the students follow through with this class because as I said before if you get the wrong kids in that class they wouldn't get any work done. Also the students would work harder to research about their topic because they actually want to learn about it. Altogether I would agree with this class because students can learn things that they desire and not something that they are forced to learn about.
