Parental involvement seems like a good idea, but overdoing it isn't. I think this should be something optional, but always available to parents if they're interested. Having a school right next to a company isn't too much of a thrill, though. Having parents visiting the school during lunch breaks just seems a little weird. If my parents were to get too involved with our school, it would put more pressure on me as a student. I just think there needs to be a balance.

I think everyone at our school would agree that there are many benefits in a small school. Students get more individual attention, it's easier to talk to faculty and everyone knows each other. All these things can help a students not only academically, but emotionally as well. In bigger schools, sometimes there are more problems, too many problems that the authorities can't handle. But on the other hand, a smaller school means less competition. Some people need competition to bring out their true potential.

Community service not only helps other people (the community) but is also beneficial to the person volunteering to do the service. On many occasions I have learned valuable lessons from doing community service, and these things can't be learned from a textbook in the classroom. Learning the importance of this early on really changes a person's perspective on it, and it can become something to look forward to rather than a chore. It would be great if everyone could go into society with this kind of mindset.

This is useful knowledge to have, especially when students become adults and have to deal with things like these in their lives. Getting students involved early on by incorporating real life scenarios, using things they care about, is a fun way to learn civics.

Extracurricular activities are very important. They can help a student with skills they already have and would wish to improve on, or find new interests that they didn't know of before. Overall, it helps one become a more well rounded person. Without extracurricular activities, something would just be missing from the school experience.

I really like this idea. It prepares students for the real world, and doing things like this makes them take on whatever their task is with responsibility and maturity. It's a good experience.
