In my society education is individualized in order to fit the needs and learning style of each student. Students are grouped with like-minded peers who learn in the same way and at the same rate as they do. This ensures successful and positive learning outcomes for each student.
DISCLAIMER: This is a sample of one day at school- not all the subjects that are studied at school are listed here. Other subjects learnt could include art, music, physics, biology, chemistry and other languages. All rights reserved.
8 am - The school day commences at 8am. The entire school meets on the oval to join as one to start the day positively. This first hour includes some light physical exercise (to wake our bodies) followed by some words from our leader to get us in the right mind set.
We then split up into our individual classes where everyone receives a summary of the day’s happenings.
9 am – Lesson: History of philosophy. In that Qi Laing has many ideals based on philosophical virtues, students start this day learning about historical philosophical teachers and their ideas.
10 am – Lesson: Language. The students continue with learning the essentials of the English language (grammar etc). This also can involve learning the history of the English language (E.g. Latin roots).
11 am – Morning tea is prepared in school kitchens so that all students get a good and nutritious diet. Morning tea is the only meal that the students eat at school therefore it is more like a lunch than a morning tea.
11:30 am to 1 pm – Lesson: Maths. The maths lessons on Qi Laing are quite a resemblance to that of today’s. The only difference being that there would be groups of students learning in their own style rather than the whole class learning the same way.
1 pm – Lesson: Astronomy. Students learn about things such as other planets in the solar system, the sun, how gravity works, how dark matter works, about our galaxy and about galaxies beyond.
2 pm – End of school. Parents pick you up/you walk or ride home/buses take you home. Lunch is with your family at your house.
3pm to 6 pm – The afternoon gives students time to:
· Do any homework that has been set
· Enjoy themselves doing things they are interested in : Hobbies, sports, musical instruments, hanging out with friends.
6 pm to 8 pm - Dinner, time to relax, talk with family.
9pm – Get ready for bed. Listen to music/read.
