I really love some of the teachers and administrators that strive to do better for the students! I would love to see a huge amount of things changed at the school I went to. Such as, providing period things for the women in the bathroom for free. Repair the stalls and other things that are broken. Get chairs or couches to put outside for everyone to sit on so we don’t have to stand for 30 minutes before school. Provide better lunches for the kids at the school. Provide better snack machines. Put money into things we need instead of trying to put money into programs that don’t need it.
The Tuscaloosa County School system provides a wide variety of trade and extra curricular classes that help prepare you for future careers. Examples would be Advanced Television Production, Welding, Automotive Repair, and Computer Sciences. Though we have great courses, we lack with facilities to truly help students grasp the real hands on work and equipment that goes with a certain career. Not only is this seen with various courses, but also with sports. Being a county school system, financing is broadly spread between schools causing a lack of money for practice fields, weight training rooms, stadiums, and even coaches. There is great potential with the courses and sport activities provided with this school system, however something that could be improved would be a better environment for the students taking those courses to fully get their experience.
The University of Alabama campus and surrounding area are appealing visually, and offer an abundance of dining, shopping, and social opportunities. The school itself provides many resources for learning, as well as quiet locations for study. Within the School of Business, networking is readily available including opportunities to learn from industry professionals.
