The best part of being part of this district as a student was that most of my teachers have made some type of impact in my life, even if I'm not from here. I've always thought about how amazing teachers are for taking their time and effort to teach so many different people for not that much money. Although sometimes relationships between teachers and students can be biased in my opinion. I think some teachers prefer to focus more on students who need help but don't make the effort to try in their classes but I feel like that means students who try to over-achieve and try their best don't get recognized as much. I also feel like some of my peers have had disadvantages. With not being able to fill in a certain criteria this wouldn't allow all types of students to get challenged instead, students who wanted to be challenged will take classes that do so but the students could have more to offer but don't show that they want to aren't being pushed enough to pursue that type of path.
My experiences with Cabarrus County Schools have been good and bad. Overall I think it is a really good school system that cares greatly about students' learning. However, I think individual staff members at various schools led to some negative experiences. A change I would like to see is teachers who have a love of teaching, they want us to learn. They don't just have us follow along and take notes every single day. I think one of the best things I've experienced is also certain staff members at various schools. THey have been so kind and understanding of my experiences and what I need from them.
Spending k-12 years of education in Cabarrus Country School System, you get to experience many pros compared to cons. Everyday, there is a sense of inclusiveness that is provided from the teachers and staff. The county itself is full of diversity which allows for students to intermingle of all races and living styles. As I grew older and made it to high school, life was good and it kept getting better. I love the events that were held after school hours. These dances, football games, and volunteer opportunities allow for it to seem a little more like High School Musical! Cabarrus county schools has attempted its very best during Covid-19 in trying to allow some sort of normality. In person classes are optional 2 days a week which is so beneficial because it allows people to choose if this is best fit for them. They have also found ways for sports to occur with limited in person attendance. This was important being a senior athlete that I would get to finish strong.
