My Dream School - Matilda

Even though Miss Trunchbull's idea of a perfect school must have been a very lively school I am led to believe that there must be something better out there. Or is there. Let's think about this for a moment. If there were no children in the school, where would they be? They would be at home, or maybe hanging out at a youth centre. The school could have been a place where the teachers could gather and discuss different subjects and such. And when they all had worked out what to learn the students that day they could transmit it to our E.L.P. Electronic learning pillow. The E.L.P stores the information it gets sent and when the students go to sleep at the evening or night the E.L.P sends out brain waves in a specific frequency so our brain is forced to store the information we get sent. The E.L.P sends this information several times in the night so that it can be sure that we've stored the information. And when we wake up the E.L.P delete the information we've just learned so it's ready to receive more information right away.

However perfect this plans might sound it depends on very powerful and yet to be invented technology we do not possess. The main problem with school systems today is that they might feel like a perpetual dйjÐo vu. When a teacher is up by the blackboard and constantly chatter, while the students are writing holes in their books it might get very dull, fast. So that's why there needs to be tasks and puzzles to do. When they are done the chanting can continue. Another thing that the school system nowadays tends to forget is free studying time. A couple of hours per week were the students could pick whatever they want to do so that they don't get drowned in work at home.

With the E.L.P students might have been too much at home. Not making social relations and, therefore turning into social retards. This is dangerous. So maybe my dream school would have some longer pauses, so
