assignment 5

Back Bay is one of my favorite schools that i have ever been to, and iv been to a lot of schools in my time, for example, this is my 4th High School in three years. I like many many things about Back Bay High School, such as the art program, the no homework system, and the fact that there are no freshmen at this school. Freshmen students should not be allowed in high school because they are simply too immature to comprehend much of the material. There should be another year of Middle School where the freshmen are allowed to be stupid.

Anyway, Back Bay's Art program is the best art class I've ever taken. I love the freedom that we have, and are allowed to express, we can draw, paint, or create anything we want, as long as its artistic. Not like my Art class at Cerritos High School, in which we were all instructed to create the same exact picture, every day, every week, there was no freedom of expression. I simply just love the idea of being given credits for being creative in an artistic atmosphere.

My favorite teacher here would probably have to be Mr. Lamar, the art instructor. he plainly gives the students the tools with which to be creative as possible. He does not organize the curriculum in any general class room sense. He allows the students to experiment with their artistic direction. By giving students the tools, and teaching them that they can do what they set out to, it instills a feeling of self accomplishment in the students when they complete a very self-inspired art piece.

I d intend to return to Back Bay High School next year because the program here is extremely easy to follow and remain up to date on, not like at Newport Harbor High School, where i previously attended, which just throws information at you and expect that you will automatically pick it up like all the "smart" kids. I like it better here because there aren't so many stuck up rich kids that think they know everything just because mommy and daddy make a good deal more than most people do. This school is the only school in which I've felt at home, because here everyone is an under- achieving white kid, or an under privileged latino, just like back home in Pasadena. I feel comfortable here.
