More freedom for students?
November 2, 2011 - 12:31 PM

As I think back to my junior high/senior high school days, I can't help but feel that everything I did as a student was monitored. Bathroom breaks required teacher signatures in a agenda notebook. Lunch time was cut to a half hour. We had 3 minutes in between classes.

My father has said numerous times that when he was in school, they were allowed to go outside for lunch, even go to gymnasium and run off some of their energy. They had a full class period to do all of this. If you had to go to the bathroom, you simply asked and the teacher would allow you to go.

Should we go back to some of these traditional practices to allow kids more freedom? If so, in what ways would you change the current structure to suit a child's desire to have more freedom in school?

students should not be allowed such privileges for some reasons: the age of maturity unlike in the past have drastically dropped that youngsters looks like adults at 15. so those days,people are a bit marured before going to school plus the fact that the world was still virgin to globalisation.....i do not support such liberty
