Brainstorming paper #3

For paper #3 I will be discussing what sort of change or addition I would implement in K-12 curriculum. This is a thesis driven paper so I'm going to need to create a thesis that argues whether or not a certain change in the curriculum would mitigate the problems we will see in the films "Chalk" and "Superman". I believe that certain additions can greatly benefit a schools curriculum. For example, I think schools should put diversity in their curriculum, which will give the students a reason to be interested in their classes. Along with required courses like math, science and english students should have the opportunity to learn different trades. Maybe including trade school classes such as culinary arts, welding, woodworking and medical classes. These type of classes balance the curriculum and help students who struggle in math and english become more successful. Also by including trade classes you are giving students the chance to have the hand on experience with a job they want to acquire in their future. Another addition that could be made to schools is to regulate the population of students attending the school. When I attended North Kitsap High School there was a overflow of students, which forced teachers to struggle with over sized classrooms. Fortunately Kingston High School was built and helped down size the over crowded NKHS.
