1) An average day walking around mateo would be walking through the halls with my friends, seeing a bunch of people that I barely know, that i'm friendly with, or some people that i've never seen in my life. But at mateo, there is such a positive energy with all of the colorful posters on the walls and smiles on people's faces. I just feel really comfortable and safe when i walk through my school.
2) I think that through my school experiences and through the people i've met, I think that San mateo has been a huge resource in the development of my life, and I think it does contribute to greater learning in life; San mateo has a great foundation. I think that my classes don't cater to my future needs however because there is too structured of a curriculum.
3) I think that our curriculum could be better formatted with classes that really emphasize the importance of vocational skills for some students, or classes that really enhance future professions. like intro to business or engineering.
4) Yes, I think there is a respect at our school between students, because all of us acknowledge the incredible amounts of diversity that we have, respecting each culture, however, there will always be some conflict. I think that with students who are in advanced placement classes, we have a relationship with our teacher that becomes more of a mentor, which leads to a better respect, but with regular classes, there is a mediocre amount of respect. I think there is respect between teachers and parents, and I think that relationship between parents and students depends on the family. I think having a really comfortable relationship with the teacher makes it easier to learn.
5) If I could change one thing about my school, it would be the enthusiasm of the entire school, because i think everyone should be happy and excited to be at SM, but some people just go to school because they have to, and don't enjoy it.

1. an average day at Notre Dame is filled with girls screaming and getting excited about prom or a party that weekend. there are always girls studying for a test for ap calc or honors modern world, and girls eating the yummy food from the campus café fill the dining hall throughout the day. ASB'ers parade down the hall announcing a rally or dodgeball game, or some other cultural event. it's a crazy place in those carpeted halls!
2. oh my gosh, they are a big resource. teachers and students and staff always want to ensure that you can perform to the best of your abilities, whether you want their help or not. going to an all girls school has helped me mature as a woman and has greatly improved my self-confidence. notre dame provided the impetus i needed to invest my time in my interests and the teachers, besides my peers of course, have basically become my confidantes throughout my highschool career :) my classes, especially the AP classes, have definitely prepared me for the future, teachers have really high expectations at notre dame, and they don't let students off without knowing that they have put in their best effort.
3. not really, i feel that alot of the classes, even religion (sometimes...) has helped improve my "life skills".
4. DEFINITELY. teachers and students have an awesome relationship, which enhances the classroom greatly. because of the teachers, students can very easily talk to teachers and ask for help, or just talk about life. teachers are very open to change and discussion about the curriculum or current issues, and the parents can see that in their daughters' AWESOME grades!
5. if i could change one thing about notre dame, i would want the staff to be a little more liberal, not in political views, but in social issues. for instance, dress code for dances/free dress days is a bit tight! also, certain teachers are very conservative when it comes to our classes budget for things like prom and rally events, which at times makes it hard to try and liven things up. but other than that, i love notre dame!

Interview with John Doe (San Mateo High School)
• Describe an average day at your school (give us a walk through the halls...)
Walking into my newly built school is amazing! It’s so beautiful, there is crazy orange and black spirit everywhere, and you see people that you know at least one thing about everywhere you go. There is a wide diversity of students who all bring something special to the school, and as you walk through the halls it’s fun to see how all the different types of people like to interact.
• How much of a resource is your school in your life’s development? Do you think it actively contributes to your greater learning in life? Do you feel that your classes cater to your immediate and future needs?
Through my school, especially its Leadership program, I have grown immensely. I have learned great organizational, charismatic, learning, teaching, communicating, and other skills that I’m positive will help me for the rest of my life. Getting to take harder and more specific classes as I advance in grades certainly helps, because I get to focus hard to study on the things I’m interested in.
• How do you think your curriculum could be better formatted to teach you life skills?
It’s really hard for public schools right now, but a wider diversity of Honors and AP classes would help make me more interested in schoolwork, which might teach me those life skills.
• Is there respect at your school between students? Students and teachers? Teachers and parents? Parents and students? How does this affect your learning environment?
While fights will happen a couple times a year, for the most part there is a great respect between all the students, teachers, and parents of the school. Students really feel safe and respected, most people are exceptionally friendly, and it provides a good environment for everyone to learn and socialize in. The teachers and parents are very supportive of all San Mateo High School has to offer its students. If there are any differences, they are settled on the Dodgeball court!
• If you could change one thing about you school, what would it be?
Being a spirit commissioner, I would like to see every single person become as spirited as I am about my school, because it’s just so damn awesome.

Interview with Alex Schulte of UoP (a reflection on her Sacramento public HS)
Describe an average day at your school (give us a feel of a walk through the halls).
- cant really remember...class, lunch, class, volleyball practice
How much of a resource was your school in your life’s development? Do you think it actively contributed to your greater learning in life? Do you feel that your classes catered to your immediate and future needs?
- AP classes helped with college, health class taught me about STDs but other than that and obvious academic knowledge, HS didnt really prepare me for the big world, I learned more at my part time job and playing sports
How do you think your curriculum could have been better formatted to teach you life skills?
- more student centered, more freedoms to study what we wish, more standardized test prep even though i dont believe in these tests they help for getting into college
Was there respect at your school between students? Students and teachers? Teachers and parents? Parents and students? How does this affect your learning environment?
- only saw disrespect when it involved students (to other students, teachers and parents), didnt hinder my learning enviro but im sure the teachers and parents were hindered in their teaching/control over students
If you could have changed one thing about you school, what would it have been?
- more diverse classes and the right to take what I was actually interested in instead of being force to study what I dont like

Interview with Maya Drexler (Berkeley High School)
- the interviewer -
1) Describe an average day at your school (give us a feel of a walk through the halls)
2) How much of a resource is your school in your life’s development? Do you think it actively contributes to your greater learning in life? Do you feel that your classes cater to your immediate and future needs?
3) How do you think your curriculum could be better formatted to teach you life skills?
4) Is there respect at your school between students? Students and teachers? Teachers and parents? Parents and students? How does this affect your learning environment?
5) If you could change one thing about you school, what would it be?
- the interviewee -
1) An average day at my school is very hectic/exciting. It is a very large school (over 3000 students) so there is never a dull moment. A walk through the halls is similar to a walk in a busy nyc street. It can be ridiculously frustrating and annoying because people are rude and push and are loud. But at the same time it is just another part of going to BHS and you learn to live with it. Walking through the halls you also notice how extremely diverse my school is and that is something I love and appreciate everyday. But any average day at BHS can have numerous crazy events. For example: fire alarms get pulled reguarly, the other week there were about three fights, there was a race war, a transvestite ran onto campus with scissors... just to give you a feel of how ridiculous it can be. But I love it and it keeps things interesting. There is no "average day" at berkeley high. But classes remain on schedule and everything gets done anyways.
2) I have definitely gotten a mixed education at berkeley high. I have had some amazing classes that I learned greatly from and really enjoyed and had teachers that were incredible. However I have also had classes that were wastes of my time and the teachers were jokes. But, I feel as though I have gotten the best overall education I could have ever gotten. I say this because going to BHS teaches you so much more than just your general education. I have been taught so many life skills that are irreplaceable and so valuable and that I know I can only get from going to berkeley high. So in that way I would say my school is a great resource in my life's development. I think my school contributes to my greater learning in life because it has taught me to be self sufficient, active for myself and my community, to seek help and attention when I need it and to go out and ask for things when they aren't immediately handed to you. My school is not the type of school that holds your hand and helps you through ever step of the way, which at first was hard for me but then I found it to be a blessing because I learned how to go and ask for what I needed and that is something I will definitely need in my future. Some of my classes have catered to my immediate and future needs. My English classes for the past 2 years have been excellent and I am a far better writer which has helped me immediately and will help in my future. But I feel like in the long term, what I learned from dealing with the administration and all the bureaucracy at BHS will be more helpful in my future.
3) I think my last two answers kind of answer this question because like I was saying, just going to berkeley high everyday teaches you plenty of life skills so it is kind of built into going there.
4) This is a tricky question because nothing is so cut and dry at my school, given that it is so large. I cannot say that there is a general respect between students, students and teachers, teachers and parents, parents and students because each case is unique. I am respected for the most part by students, teachers and parents, but have had numerous instances where I was not. But the school is just too big to make generalizations like that. I would say we have some great teachers that are very dedicated and treat their students with great amount of respect. However, we have teachers that are rude, direspectful and unfortunately on tenure so we can't get rid of them! But they just add to the funny BHS legends and stories so we make some good out of it. And the same goes for students. BHS is like a big city so in every city there are going to be some disrepectful people. Therefore I cannot confidently say that there is a respect among students but I will say there is a basic understanding between all BHS students. You cannot understand what it is like to go there until you experience it yourself, so we all kind of have this relationship where we feel connected because we have all shared the experience of BHS.
5) I would change a lot about my school but one important thing to me would be to make it more integrated. It is extremely diverse, but it is not integrated enough. You can walk into a class that is all white, all black, all hispanic and that is not right to me. We were the first school in america to integrate and yet we still have such voluntary segregation it is just absurd to me. I wish there was a way to fill the achievement gap and make all the classes integrated so we can actually have the diversity we talk about instead of just talking about it and so that everyone is given equal opportunities.

Interview with Mollie Vitale (Marin Academy High School)
Describe an average day at your school (give us a feel of a walk through the halls).
Every other day is different. At MA we have odd days and even days, so I'll walk you through an odd day:
Day 1: My first class is Physics which starts at 8:00 am. This is my science class and we usually are in the middle of some intense project...for example, a Mouse Trap powered Car. Then I have a break period. Sometimes I'll be really hungry so I can go to the cafeteria to get a morning snack, otherwise it's a time to hang out with friends. Then I go to History, Culture, and Identity--my history class. We study our culture through classic films such as "M" and "Citizen Kane"...right now though, we are studying the effects of the marketing world on different age groups, and examining stereotypes. Then it is an all school assembly where there is a Senior or two--introduced by our student body president--who give a speech, and then announcements from anyone who has an announcement to make. Afterwards is lunch, which is self explanatory. After lunch I head to AP Statistics, my math course. We are learning about the T-distribution and how to apply it to everyday statistics problems...pretty straightforward. After school on Day 1 I have Yearbook. We meet from 2:30-3:00 and create parts of the MA yearbook in that time.
That's basically a day in the life of an MA senior.
How much of a resource is your school in your life’s development? Do you think it actively contributes to your greater learning in life? Do you feel that your classes cater to your immediate and future needs?
Oh absolutely. I feel that MA has not only taught me book material, but also lessons for how to live my life. Especially with our rich community and all the different extra curriculars available, such as Eco-Council and Peer Resources, Music and Book Swap and Ping Pong Club...there's something to be learned in every corner of the campus...even our Garden is a great spot to just sit and contemplate your day! My teachers have always conversed with me in outside topics such as "Lost" and the Giants vs theA's (who's the better team?)
How do you think your curriculum could be better formatted to teach you life skills?
Well...I believe if this one class that' already offer was mandatory for all students--Outdoor Skills--the entire school would have the ability to start their own fire, learn how to stop the poison of a snake get to the heart, etc...we would all be safe in the wilderness!!
Is there respect at your school between students? Students and teachers? Teachers and parents? Parents and students? How does this affect your learning environment?
Absolutely--everyone at MA is considered an individual with their own opinions...our environment here is enriched with safe community norms and trying debates every day.
If you could change one thing about you school, what would it be?
The center of campus used to be the MA circle. Now it is the BBLC building. This is because the cafeteria was moved from Foster (right behind the circle) to the downstairs BBLC (far away from the MA circle)...if the cafeteria moved back to where it was, the circle would be revived and some of the loss of MA spirit would come to life again!

Getting personal
How can four private school children relate to a situation that we have never experienced? While we may have found indications of where the problem lays in the numbers and data, we do not know the little details that add up to the task at hand. Regardless of how much we examine the system from afar, we will never be able to see its innards. These details can only be uncovered in exploring a student's empirical knowledge of the situation. Despite our lack of intimate familiarity with the dilemma, we will not let this stop us.
From all corners of the Bay Area - a region serving as a microcosm of the nation's educational system with examples of shining scholastic institutes and those more lackluster -we have begun to receive interviews from kids enrolled in all types of schools. Whether vocational, liberal arts, parochial, public, charter et cetera, we hope their insights might illustrate some continuities in their complaints. Through these continuities, we will more efficiently tackle the areas most detrimental in this issue.
So let the students speak.

Through these continuities, we will more efficiently tackle the areas most detrimental in this issue.
So let the students speak.
The start
The rising cost of education: how can we mitigate this? We feel one of the biggest aspects of the problem lies in the question itself. Is money inextricably linked to higher education? In our reasoning, there are multiple forms of intelligence one can achieve (mechanical, mathematical, social, technical, linguistic et cetera), therefore we find the limited, current definition of success – that higher achievement is accessible only through an academic lens – limiting and misleading. The problem with our educational system revolves around our inability to embrace our society’s vast amount of ‘cultural capital’ (differing histories, fields of ability, and passions of each student).
With the divide between private and public schools occurring on so many levels (social rifts, economic and resource advantages, safe and conducive environments to learning), we feel the question isn’t necessarily an issue of funding discrepancy (although it may make differences appear more acute), but rather a matter of how well the school can make the idea of a successful future tangible to the student’s present situation.
And with this said we go onwards.
