Student voice-50 word response

The student voice can benefit in so many ways because it can show teachers and board members new ways of teaching and getting information, as well as making students feel included in decisions for their education. In my prespective the student voice is very important and is something that should be listened to.

Student voice: Question 3-What benefits are there for the board to listen to students?

The TCDSB can benefit so much from listening to the student voice because they can find out what student's likes and dislikes are and try to improve schools, therefore making a great leaning enviorment for students. Another way the TCDSB can benefit from listening to the student voice is by learning new methods and ideas of teaching and learning tools they wouldn't have known about otherwise, helping them improve many different schools.

Student voice: Question 2-Do adults really care about the student voice?

 I think that some adults listen to the student voice and some do not, depending on the adult. Some adults think kids are just kids and their opinions don't matter because they don't know whats best for themselves. On the other hand some adults know that kids know what they are good at and what they need to improve on and what the student's voice is.

Student voice: Question 1-Does our school and school board listen to student opinions?

  We should all be able to speak our voice and state our opinions. The more important question is will people choose to listen? In these blog posts I will be talking about the student voice and if people really do listen to us.

Firstly, I believe that our school and the TCDSB do listen to our opinions, but I do not think that they put our ideas and opinions into action. I do not think that stating your opinion really matters when nothing is done about it.  Student's opinions are very important because school is all about us and our skills and sucess   . If students opinions and ideas are put into action I think students will feel more included and feel that their opinion matters.
