TLC, a Different Perspective on Education
TLC is not like any other school. When you think of high school the first thing that may come to your mind is noise and chaos in the halls. Well if you think of high school and you think of TLC; be prepared for a whole different environment. TLC is a special school because well first it’s a home school program and second because it’s not the usual high school place that most people have in mind. Things are quieter, cleaner; in my opinion even a little more professional looking because it looks like an office building with different classrooms inside, also it’s pretty organized. Though the classrooms are a little small, the education that we’re receiving there is big! During lunch time, I hear many conversations going on all at once and usually everyone is laughing and that’s a pretty good sign. A pretty important thing to me that stands out is how clean the bathroom is! You would expect that one bathroom that has to be shared with most of the students would be pretty dirty, but it isn’t.
In TLC they offer on site classes apart from the work you do at home. The classes that I take are physics and yearbook. They are pretty good and since I find physics challenging it helps when I go back home to work. My favorite class between physics and yearbook would be yearbook because yearbook is fun and creative and we get to organize our ideas and work together on events. The only thing I would like for TLC to do is more events for the high school kids because many kids want to have a nice high school experience apart from the academic work, so maybe adding more of those dances like homecoming or even just a special field trips during the year just for the high school would be nice because there are many nice field trips for elementary kids and seniors but then what about the rest? What sets apart TLC from other schools is its priority on our education. A lot of people think of home schooling as something boring that parents stick their kids in just to have an eye on them, even I thought that, but in truth when I gave myself the chance to actually see its real purpose, I understood why it’s so different, and it is actually pretty fun. It teaches me to learn responsibility and it prepares me for college in more ways than one.
