About a week before the deadline my good friend Beth Champion found out that Pupil Services failed to send her transcript and ACT score to Beloit College. She was left with a few days to fix the problem. A couple weeks later she found some of the papers Pupil Services was supposed to send out to another college didn't make it either but it was already too late. This has brought some interesting conversation at our lunch time discussion.
One day we were talking about what it would be like if the offices and the cafeteria had competition. Or if public schools as a whole had to compete for students? What would they do to make students go to them and not any other? Offices would have to be more careful when it comes to things like students' college applications. The lunch lines would have to work harder at making the food kids really like, and making enough, especially at reasonable prices. Teachers would have to make sure they're making their best effort at teaching to keep students in their classes. The schools would be more interested in what the students had to say. They would want to get more advice from them about what the budget should be spent on and what classes should be offered.
any thoughts?
