What should high school be like?

Having, as your primary goal, “starting a new and exciting high school” is absolutely meaningless. I do not believe that there is anybody out there who wants to found a high school which is old and boring.

The first, and most important question that I would ask anybody who wants to establish a new school is “why?”.

From the fact that you really do not even know what this “new and exciting” high school should look like, how it would be new, why it would be exciting, tells me that you do not have an answer to that question.

Starting a school is a massive undertaking, which requires an enormous amount f time, effort, and commitment. The only way that it would ever work is if you had an idea of what you want this school to do, and are passionate and committed to this idea.

If you are asking strangers on the internet to choose between four different, separate, and unrelated ideas for this high school, that tells me that you do not really have any idea of what you really want in this “new and exciting school”.

So I will ask you a second, and very important question:

Is this an assignment for one of your classes?
