My Reflections:

Kids ruling the school seem impossible. In fact, when you talk to someone about your idea about having kids to have their own curriculum and rule the school, that person would think that you are joking. Kids all around the world are regarded as incapable and irresponsible. Therefore, kids are not competent enough to rule the school.

If kids were to develop their own curriculum, the school would be full of chaos and it would be disorganized. In fact, the curriculum would be terrible and messed up. Being kids, it is quite obvious that they would prefer having fun first than to keep the best for the last when it comes to fun and games. Therefore, it is quite possible that if the kids were to create their own curriculum, they would make all the fun activities on the first day of school which is Monday. On Monday, the timetable could be full of fun such as having music lessons in the morning and physical education at noon. All activities on that day would not be related to academic and in the end, all the academic lessons would be pushed back, deeper into the week. This would result in the disorganization of the school, and also disruption in the student's education. Fun should be merged with academics. There is time for fun and time for studying. The kids would probably not enjoy school if all the academic lessons were all on Wednesdays to Fridays, right? This is one of the reasons why I feel that kids are not capable enough to rule the school.

Another reason why I feel that students are not capable enough to rule the school is because they are obviously not mature enough to do so. For example, if the students were to put all the fun activities and lessons on the Mondays or Tuesdays, it would affect them in a way in which they do not about or do not understand. In a child's mind, fun is all that he or she thinks about and the future implications or problems are not thought of when the child makes a decision. By pushing all the fun lessons forward, they would just have 2 days of fun and slack that they have no homework. However, they did not think or realise that if the other days are academic days, they would be full of homework and not be able to cope. They have no idea that the timetable should be balanced since their flows of thoughts are not developed enough. This is another reason why I feel that children are incompetent to rule the school.

Due to the immaturity of the children and their poor flow of thoughts, they are definitely not capable enough to have their own curriculum, organized by themselves. Once again, I would like to stress the point that kids ruling the school are an impossible task, although some schools have already tried it out when they have not weighed the pros and cons.
