My ideal school!
My ideal school is a bulding with many open spaces, sunny weather, and many free spaces talk with other partners.
I would like to have a big gym where to do different sports and speak in English.

Ideal School
The school is an institution that still at an early age they learn the tricks in order to learn and improve our knowledge we have and those that still have not found or do not know. With teachers as coaches along better or less well in taking a certain extent and will of students. An ideal school for me personally would have to be equipped with computers, cameras, toilets, laboratories, etc.. Because our education system more precisely our slightly outdated, compared to other European countries such as France, Italy, Germany etc. Although our teachers are good. Romania not appreciates the talented people and that is why many of them go to other countries for a better life. In conclusion, we are intelligent people but do not know how to keep the treasures at home.

School performance.
School is an ideal school with all materials needed to learn and develop the human brain.
Formation of a child’s early age to adulthood learning where all needed to get somewhere above in our education.
And as the proverb says “If you don’t have book, not part of” if you cannot learn to get what you want.

Ideal School
For me the school is the ideal place where people can work to improve their knowledge.
Students must be united to help each other but also respect themselves and the teachers.
Now we need more to use new technology that has emerged on the Romanian market. To be a casual high school, well organized, and arranged more activities.
Students come to school with love and to give her best to learn much more.

High school ideal
The school is an institution where the student can assimilate knowledge. Teaching is a must which have to point how student self-help to acquire new terms, to socialize, listen, point of view, to take into consideration and put into practice.
The place is too important, working conditions, colleagues, (collaboration with them) are equally important. For me is important because I want to continue my studies, to learn new things and to find a better paid job.
Important is to finish my school now, and I can only meet all I had in mind.

High school ideal
A school would be ideal to provide a plus, first in relations between students and teachers, to help make something to leave the school with some more information, to improve understanding of what is so important to learn. An ideal school would be one in which each student can choose their own materials he wants to study, to make an optional program to be casual, to have several hours of communication not only teaching lessons, to be understand as students. I have to do anything in high school outside of hours, something creative choice; I do not know something a bit more…
To be a casual high school, well organized, and providing more activities.

Ideal School
School is a public institution that helps to gain knowledge, to help people to be prepared for everyday life.
Ideal school for me is the school that helped me to seek a job, to help me to know how to make purchases according to my incomes. This seems great. And everything you owe in the school which was a basic institution for me.
I remember the first note I took in first class. My father was very happy and he use to say that an investment in knowledge is a life with a card party.
He use to say me that school will help me to go beyond something big status in his family, this couldn’t happend and I felt like I disappointed him.
But for me school is and will remain perfect and I hope that if we could not achieve my childhood dreams at least have the joy of seeing how my girls learn and how one’s way in life.

Ideal School
An ideal school is one that has to all intents and purposes, namely: Central heating, Rooms equipped with benches and tables, flowers and paintings.
A school must have the gym, cafeteria, chemistry lab, biology lab, science, French, English rooms.
Extracurricular acts as an ideal school should provide: debate club, film, theater, dance, music, art, photography, sports, robotics, etc.
Teachers need to be understanding, kind and explaining as much as possible explained. Students must be civilized, to have adequate clothing in school and have respect for teachers and school leadership.
After studies specialist, a school would be ideal to guide them on what students should be able to work and even to display lists of job offers.
Graduates should be encouraged and helped to have confidence in their personality and what you know.
An ideal school and well organized, offers tours in the country and abroad, if students meet certain criteria of education, as proof that merit is appreciated.
An ideal school, offers courses and home, giving them the students can submit homework and some files on the net. In this way they are moving from home and correspond with the teachers more convenient and comfortable.
Everywhere in the world is done it and are recognized by major countries important.
Maybe some of us can go to study in some schools with high intelligence, but this is not an obstacle in reaching to the new school with this level.
Anyway school is an institution in which man comes to develop-mental capacity.
School is meant to solve problems for science students. An ideal school values each human capacity.

“Ideal school”
Ideal high school for me would be the one in which it’s a must to make all courses, teaching materials compliance schedule accordingly, to have a collective unit.
Another idea would be school safety, hygiene, since you spend half the day.
A student should be able to acquire the necessary knowledge profile having more possibility after college to pursue a college profile and accommodate its future and find the much desired and well paid. The students are the ones who can make the high school to keep their prestige and also who can destroy it that.
Good or bad our growth is decisive for the team in our own neighborhoods. My opinion is that the most important thing is the relationship between teachers and students is respect. This is my opinion in regard to the ideal high school.

“Ideal school”
As far as I am concerned “ideal school” should be elected primarily by the prestige which it has.
Would be appropriate for high school that includes a variety of offers for training on different areas.
Another criteria would be the safety that you offer high school, aesthetics, hygiene, etc.. given that you spend several hours a day in that location.
A potential student should succeed to acquire the necessary knowledge on several areas, with the possibility that the end of school to opt for a faculty profile on his wish facility and then to find a job “well paid”. And for a less well prepared student will be a great point of departure in terms of variety offers a school profile, giving it the possibility to choose an area to which you find an attraction to safety.
Attitude towards both students and school staff, and from colleagues, the environment and spend time being is primordial. They are the ones who can make the high school to keep their prestige and all they are the ones who can “finish” this issue.
Good or bad they increase their growth is critical to the team they are. Students would need to be united, working collectively to adopt a dress appropriate to maintain cleanliness in the place where they work and in their vicinity (school corridors, other classrooms, toilets etc.) Respect both the man and the place.
As regards the teachers, the quality matters and how their teaching way and their attitude towards students.
Always a teacher calm, warm, tolerant smile to students from time to time, to change two, three words, a joke (on the lesson taught), will be loved by them, and handed the matter will be easily assimilated by and the “weak” student will acquire sufficient knowledge of safety on that matter. A teacher with an attitude tough, cold, angry that no sketches or even a smile will not only be able to contract more and less prepared student, the most timid to intimidate him and harder possibly a long period of time, and the right to treat the matter with indifference May (and will painstakingly less).
The most important student-teacher relationship and teacher-student respect is (by both parties).
I think I argued enough, so I see things in terms of “ideal school”.

My dream since I was little girl was done to the best school, an “ideal school”.
After my ideal school is the first step that you exposed in society is the way that you `ll choose a new life started to become what you want.
My ideal life is a help support people need… to say a good word, so I `d like to become a pharmacist and for this you must first take a good school, then a college.
I always liked to combine the pleasant with the practical; this helped me a lot.
For me an ideal school implies first of all respect from both students and from teachers. If there is no respect, then none of the principles of a society are efficient.
Also, besides the actual rates would need to organize more tours for teachers and their students, to figure out other points of view, other places and perspectives.
In it is a must collectively help each other to listen and respect the decisions of others.
“Ideal school” can be anywhere, and with patience, perseverance and a lot of ambition to get where we want.
Years of high school are the most beautiful in the life of a person when the childhood ends and begins a new stage: adolescence.

An ideal school for adults
For us, each school is the ideal way to areas that specialize. It is difficult to reach the last step in the school and also important. Why? Because then start on another completely different way and maybe tough. School is ideal to study what you love and a time to be profitable, I mean a career in the same field that I studied and not to be a good example to follow.
Maybe some of us can go to study in high school, but this is not an obstacle. Everywhere in the world is night school quality and recognized by several European countries, where we can practice as well as those with college or colleges.
Refer to courses that many people have a job but are also eager to study, so that you, as an adult, the opportunity to do two things in this day and really good. All that matters is a good organization and time management.

We have 4 study programmes: 1.Technology of Food Production and Processing 2.Engineering Mechanics 3.Human resources management (Accountant)4.Advertising specialist. I’m studying advertising and I hope I will be good specialist, because we have very good teachers who love them work and they are interested in speciality about what they are teaching. I love this college, because there are very good atmosphere, understanding teachers, grant about good marks and activities in collage life, competitions of erudites, sport competitions, miss and mister beauty competition(need to be clever and active too)etc. It is nice to go to college almost every day, students there are very friendly and helpfull,certainly not always, but often. College has a good name in all Latvia, also I heard only good words about this college from my friends and teachers from other colleges and schools.

In the end I only can say that I’m satisfied with my choice to entrance in this college.
