Here is a link to an article that I read to find out more information: Click here
Being a senior I reflect back onto my classes from middle school to now and I think: classes would of been much more interesting if they were something I wanted to learn or if it related to me.
The classes that I take at the Birdville Center of Technology and Advance Learning have helped me focus more in school because they are relavent to things that I want to learn.
If more classes were like the BCTAL classes then everything would be wonderful and students would be eager to learn more because they can relate to them or because it catches their interest due to it being something in their field of study.
In my Advanced Math and Decision Making class I was taught to manage money at the minimum. I believe that I know enough to be okay with financial situations but I don't know as much as a high school graduate going into college should. If I was taught more in school I would feel tons better because it would have helped me for the rest of my life. I would have felt safe dealing with my money instead of scared about how I am going to figure things out.
