In a perfect world, our school’s budget would not be a problem.
Teachers wouldn’t be in fear of losing their jobs and students would be able to learn in an optimal environment.
But what if schools were given all the funding they could ever need or want?
More teachers could be hired, making more manageable classes with smaller class sizes.
Sports would be fully funded so that athletes wouldn’t have to pay to play and so that all teams could train with state-of-the-art equipment.
Any subjects that one would ever want to learn would be able to be taught.
With classes tuned specifically to what kids want to learn, students would be more focused in class, making it easier on the teachers while also making students happy.
Another idea that would make school a lot easier on everyone involved would be laptops for students.
Laptops might sound like a bad idea, since games and other forms of entertainment could distract students from work.
But in this case, the pros outweigh the cons if class work and textbooks were to be digitalized.
For one thing, we wouldn’t have to wait what seems like forever to load our school’s current computers.
Backpacks and lockers crammed with books would be a thing of the past, since all the information needed for school would be stored on students’ laptops.
Of course the occasional test would have to be on paper so as to prevent cheating, but for everyday learning, laptops would accelerate the process.
However, upgrades shouldn’t just be limited to students.
With a limitless budget, teachers could make their dream classes with any desired resource accessible.
Marine science would be able to have a diverse aquarium on campus, physics classes would be able to have their own Hadron Particle Collider.
Teachers would be able to provide the best possible learning environment for students, without having to pay out of their own pockets for classroom supplies.
A school system where money was not an issue would truly be a great place to be, but with California in debt, we must deal with what we are given, whether it is enough or not.
