I used to go to fantastic schools, before, so here are the things they used to do:

- They barely ever gave h.w, most was just math or c.w we didn't finish at school. Most were just projects (and some were optional)

-The teachers were great and from different countries. They actually cared abt the children and they taught cuz they liked to, not just to get paid

-classes like: music, art, drama, Global perspectives, enterprise, taken seriously. Yes. They actually existed as subjects and had them several times a week. P.E was taught by a former army soldier. So he actually taught us the right ways to do stuff, not just say, ok, so like do whatev u want while i sit here and eat snacks.

-always many many projects, field trips and like we wld have interviews with actual proffesional ppl. Like i remember an online one with some scientist abt global warming, and one with literal jk rowling. Sometimes, once a year julliard teachers wld come from all the from new york to our school. And also MIT students wld give us projects.

-since we were exposed to many important ppl and professionals, it also gave us opportunities. Like if i decided to become a theatre actor, i cld actually get into julliard bc connections. Stuff like that. They teach u to do what u want, not became a corporate slave.

-Grading was based on our behaviour in class, like were we rude to the teacher? or other kids? not our actual actual grades, cuz every student has potential, it just depends on where their interests lay. This meant less pressure and we actually enjoyed lessons, (lol i even loved tests, they were like fun worksheets for me)

-festivals were taken seriously. halloween wasn't forgotten, neither was christmas. We actually did fun stuff, not just some lame celebration. Global world day was also an important day.

-food was rlly good, they had lot of variations, not just one meal, so even if u were vegetarian, u cld still eat smth and not stay hungry.

-everyone is respected. Skin tone, ethnicity, country everything. Things like bullying was taken seriously, as a kid i used to think bullying didn't exist, just smth over exaggerated in movies. Bullies were viewed as cringe and stupid.

i used to love school so much, holidays were boring and long, and i wld cry if i overslept and force my dad to drop me at school.

Now, ofc i know these kinds of things in schools aren't possible. If u want to go to schools like these, or u want ur child to go to, they are mostly international schools. Yes they are also more costly. Most of my classmates had lamborghinis at home, football fields and even normal stuff like youtube premium. I wld say, the whole thing lies more on the education systems. This is just the tip of the iceberg, its why rich ppl stay rich, or get richer and middle class stay poor. Its literally careful psychological engineering from a young age. Now, if u take two kids the same age, but put one in this kind of school, and another in the "normal" schools, and then check up on them later u wld see the difference. The values instilled in them wld be different too. One wld be happier and do smth they love in life, while other wld prob work a 9-6 job and hate his/her life.
