Do I Value My Nonacademic Education?

I value my nonacademic education, a privilege most do not have. I wake up every morning excited to go to school. We argue, explain, challenge, question, and examine many different ideas. University offers many classes and activities that that guarantee an education on the skills needed in life. From intellectual to moral education, University covers the broad spectrum needed to shape the pliable mind of young individuals.
From a student’s perspective, University maintains many goals. These goals fall especially into of Horace Mann’s categories of intellectual and moral education. University upholds 6 core values, one of these being mutual respect. Respect for your elders, peers, and inferiors is a value impressed upon all community members in University. Respect creates a trusting environment within University. There are no locks on the lockers and no one even uses a locker during an organized sport practice. The students are trusted to respect each other and their peer’s property. They are given respect by their superiors, the teachers.
Part of what makes University so challenging is the expected student responsibility. Students must make it to class on time, no bells for reminding. Students must find their daily homework assignments. And the teachers at University high school trust their students to do their homework on time and on their own.
