School nowadays!

• School ... When we all hear this word our first
  thought are our friends, our teachers the
  subjects and the endless hours sitting on a desk.
  Actually, a student today goes to school 8 hours
  a day and that means 40 hours a week!!! And only
  3 of these hours are for athletic activities. We
  all agree with the fact that all the knowledge we
  absorb and all the new things we learn are
  extremely important for our future but are also
  extremely tiring. Teenagers think that what makes
  the lesson not so interesting is the way the
  teachers teach. The students suggest a more
  pleasant teaching way, which will make them more
  interested in the lesson. As you can see students
  have some complaints, which are referred to in
  this project.

Extra priorities / extra curricular activities
Many students today take extra curricular
activities because they think that this is
pleasant. The rest of them claim their parents
make them take these activities. In addition to
our survey 90 of the students take extra
curricular activities. 40 of these students do
sports and 60 foreign languages. Also most
students take extra curricular activities more
than 4 hours per week.

The ideal school and teacher
According to our survey most students are not
happy with the way the classes are carried out.
Half of them claim that there must not be so many
tests. The other half believe that we should make
more educational trips. Answering our question

teacher a percentage of 100 wrote down that an
ideal teacher has to be funny. Half of them
believe that he must be kind and the fewer of
them think that he must be energetic.

Conclusion
To sum up, students spend more than 40 hours at
school and most of them (approximately 90)
arent happy with the way that classes are
carried out. Their idea of a perfect teacher is
one that is funny and fair. Half of the children
dont take any extra-curricular activities,
because they spend many hours at school!!
