Terry Parker High School students gave visiting officials an earful Monday, talking about teacher quality, school safety and college-prep programs. Most had high praise for their new principal.
The Broach School is making numerous changes in order to benefit its students so they can build their skills and learn more and more so they can be challenged on a daily basis. For example, we're adding a college preparatory academy, a school without walls program to promote further internship and job possibilities outside of school and a new arts program at our Beach location.
It's important for students to be able to voice their opinion on concerns they have or even ideas. Society thinks that kids are just kids and we can't learn from them, when in fact most of them are smarter than the average person.
The conversation with Terry Parker students was the second in a series of face-to-face feedback sessions with students with members of the Duval County School Board. The board invited the Jacksonville City Council to Monday’s session. Six council
members said they’d come, but only Clay Yarborough, Don Redman and Art Graham showed up, according to the Florida Times-Union.
It's good that leaders in the community are giving the youth a chance and a voice because good things can always come with chances and opportunities.
