The results of the questions I asked Mr. Bartholomew for this student survey provided some interesting answer. My first question " Should Summer Vacation be longer or shorter?" was answered with a neutral response. Next with "Should the school day be longer?" he answered longer school days would improve performance. "Would smaller classes help?" he answered no. "Should Driver's Ed. be a class included in our school?" He answered it would be useful, but expensive. "Should parents and students choose their school?" He replied with a yes immediately. "Should there be a bigger variety of classes?" He replied with as many classes as the student body is interested in. "Would technology use in class make a difference? Educationally or Financially?" He replied with that it is not as important as people say it is and that it would not make much of a difference.
Most of these answers did not come to a surprise to me, except for his answer to technology use and smaller classes. I have believed that these would help, however, Mr. Bartholomew doesn't agree.
