Pros and Cons of being in a community

Pros:

Communities can have many pros. Of course this being a moderately small group. The members will all have a vision of a bright future, and them having a big impact. Also, hopefully the people that are apart of the community are comfortable with each other, so there will be more participation. Of course with that more ideas that are unique and helpful to the cause or the people. Also, it can increase the effectiveness of the group. Also, it is nice to have support from the group.

Cons:

A community that grows too quickly is obviously not helpful. This is because people in the group will be less familiar with each other. Thus, not having a bond with each other. The bond of a community is really important. This is because a good bond means they get together well. With that the community can get great ideas and can do work smoothly.

Another con is that if there are more people there will be less time to go through everyone’s ideas. Which maybe people will think that their ideas won’t matter. So, that may become a problem because the participation will go down. Thus, the production of ideas will go down and the community will not be as efficient.

These are just some pros and cons of being in a community.

My Ideal School

My Ideal school would probably be a location where there are a lot of visitors. Or where a lot of people go for vacation. For example the Bahamas, Maldives, or  Hawaii. It would be close to a body of water. This is so that all the classrooms would have a nice view. This is so that the students would be relaxed in class. Also, if they are in the middle of an exam they can look at the view to calm themselves down.

In the classrooms there would be more comfortable chairs, maybe even couches. There would be also a 15 minute break between each class. The students will have four classes each day. Rotating the classes between two days, like ours. There would also be and 1 hour for lunch where students can go anywhere they would like on campus. The school is from kindergarten to high school. The school would start at around 10 am and end at around 5:00. With the classes are an hour each.

The campus would have many leisure activities. Obviously there would be a library and a computer room. But, there will also be a lounge for students by grade. For example there would be a grade 5 lounge, grade 10 lounge etc. There would also be a lounge for teachers. In the students’ lounge there would be a fouse ball  and ping pong tables. There would also be microwaves and vending machines.

There would also be a beach like place where the students could eat their lunches. There would be a variety of places the students can buy their lunches. There would be fast food places if the students want something unhealthy. But, there would also be a healthy place for students who’d like to eat salads. Keep in mind that the food would be cheap. Teaches would also have access to this.

Also, I imagined it to be a boarding school.The dorms are an option open to only high schoolers.  The dorms would be spacious. With the students picking their roommates. Also, there would be an option of having your own room. The dorms would include a kitchen, a living room, and a bedroom with bathrooms of course. The dorms would be close to the classrooms.

This is just an idea of what my ideal school would look like.

Game #2

I really enjoyed reading people’s blogs. I read a variety of blogs from the Orange Grinch, to video games, to the Philippines. The Orange Grinch post was relatable and interesting to watch. It provided new information that I din’t know before. I could understand where the person was coming from and why he wrote. The other post was video games. I couldn’t relate to video games. But, my brother is a little obsessed so, I could make a connection. It was an interesting point of view and I found out more about this person. Lastly, I read about the Philippines. Or more like about a person who was proud of where she came from. I totally agree with her pride and I have the same pride for my country. She posted many pictures that were very nice and she was very passionate. All in all I saw the variety on edublogs!

Blogs I read:

What I had for breakfast.

Today I had a boring breakfast. I had pancakes and nutella. I also had tea to drink it with. I have tea every morning. It was a small breakfast so, I was pretty hungry afterwards.
