What our students think they should be learning....
All junior mentors today discussed essential skills with our students. Last May, PHS teachers did the same activity. My mentoring group came up with some fantastic ideas!
What they want to learn at PHS: basic math skills, parallel parking, up-to-date technology skills, adult living skills, how to manage money, how to cook and do laundry, how to apply for jobs and interview, better social skills, good manners, how to talk to people, public speaking, possible career choices, basic auto repair and shop classes, and 1-on-1 college counseling.
They want less lecture and more hands-on activities. They want less busy work and more projects.
I was so impressed with my students!
