2. Congrats! You’re the new principal of a public school, and you have the freedom to make any changes to your school that you wish. How would you reform your school? Are changes necessary? Or would you stay the course and reinforce the way things have always been done? Be sure to say why you believe in the approach you choose to take.
3. Reflecting on the ideas about education presented in the essays by Feynman and Freire, outline your feelings regarding their theories. Do you agree or disagree with their views on education? Why? Feel free to discuss one or both individual’s philosophies.
4. Compare and contrast your high school learning experiences with your college experiences thus far. Which environment do you prefer overall? Why? What were/are the benefits and shortcomings of each? Although you’re not required to do so, it’s a good idea to tie your argument back to the ideas of either Feynman or Freire if you’re able to.
5. As always, you’re free to come up with your own prompt. However, be sure to run your idea by me first if you choose to go this route.
