Although it sounds mean, I do not think General Ed. students and Special Ed. students should be combined into the same classroom because they would not be on the same level, wether it be higher or lower. However it is ok to combine them in activities that do not require certain academic skills or physical abilities so that some don't feel excluded.

Mrs. Hines class was a delightful experience. All if not most of the students in class were content and excited for what was in store that day, although I'm pretty sure they always are. Mrs. Hines has excellent classroom management and knows how to capture the students' attention with ease. I thought it was nice how Mrs. Hines wanted the kids to do things on their own without the need for help. One would think that Special Ed. kids would need help, but Mrs. Hines broke that stereotype by allowing them to try things out of their comfort zone, which helped them learn how to do things for themselves.
The kids only needed help with things that they seriously needed help with, such as if they were handicapped. I felt as though I only went to watch them bake the cinnabons, because of how independent Mrs. Hines' kids learned to be, which is very noble. (excuse me if some words don't fit/are spelled incorrectly.)

My next semester goals include adopting better study skills, writing skills, and trying harder. I will attain these goals by learning how to, and actually trying my best to. ('trying my best to try harder' sounds weird but oh well.)

Just because someone makes a wrong decision, doesn't mean their decision making needs to be done by someone else.  Also, one shouldn't assume someones decision making is always incorrect or will be wrong sometime in the future, and therefore shouldn't interfere unless certain.

Intelligence is certainly not the main qualification for leadership, although it is one of the good qualifications for a great leader.  Other qualities such as honesty, commitment, confidence, and positive attitude are great for creating a leader the followers can trust.

I am greatful for being able to attend a great highschool and gain knowledge from it.  I am also greatful for my family's health, as well as mine.
