“Mental health, because I feel like that’s really important for education. Because it can get in the way if you’re not in the right mindset or … in the right place where your mental health can thrive.”
— JERIKA RENDON, HIGH SCHOOL JUNIOR
“To get teacher satisfaction to a better place (so they don’t leave) … When we were growing up, you’d have teachers who were career teachers and had decades of experience and knew how to control a classroom, deliver a lesson, how to give a meaningful assessment and it’s like that doesn’t exist anymore.”
— JESSO CAO, TAYLOR
“I think (it) should be to not put as much pressure on students … I think that being at home, they should be able to spend time with their family and not worry about school work. … I also think that all lunch should be for free … And I also believe that we should teach them more about … the real world … Like financial classes, even classes to work on how to change a tire, your windshield wipers.”
— SABRINA MARTZ, TAYLOR
“I think Taylor schools do a good job at getting kids prepped for college. … I also think that maybe making sure the clubs and after-school activities are … paid (more) attention. … I think they should also prep kids for … real-life stuff, like social skills, making friends … how to talk to people, how to get jobs, how to write a resume, how to handle your finances.”
— LILLY HOLMES, TAYLOR
“The entire public education system in Texas is broken. Personally, we have gone so far into testing, that we’re not actually teaching kids anymore at all. And, of course, the nature of the world with the shootings and the threats and everything, it makes it to where we’re not even safe going there anymore.”
— TRACY BOGAN, TAYLOR
