Chapter 4: Schools as the Workplace for Students and Teachers

The school my group built known as "Healthy Living" probably has some similarities with a few school in the United states. Its teaching focus is to teach how to teach many aspects of a healthy life. While still be able to teach core academic subjects. The first question to address how the school is organized. This is something our group didn't look at, but it was presumed that our school would have an ordinary chain for teachers and principals. This means there would be a principal, assistant superintendent, an teachers. Another organizational aspect of our school that we didn't address was the relationship of schools to the state. I believe the relationship could be good, because the state will look at the focus of the school and how it can have an impact on students lives. The third thing we should have looked into was the role the Federal Government will have on the school. The school will be a charter school. Which means it will receive public money, but won't be restricted in what it can teach. The fourth and final thing to look at when starting up a school is how it will be paid for. This is never easy for any school, especially in today's modern economy. The "Healthy Living" school would be expensive to run so it would need to collect money from various revenues. When building our school we overlooked many of the struggles you want to try an avoid when building. It costs a lot of money and the money needs to come from somewhere.
