Every other Wednesday, and every Friday we have our exploratory classes: TLC Publications, (SGA) Student Government, Culinary Arts, ROTC, Chinese, Intramurals, Boys 2 Men, Recording Arts, Pay It Forward and Cosmetology. I love White Tiger Wednesdays and Fridays because it gives us a chance throughout the week to develop our interests and strengths. It brings so much fun into our school days because the classes are innovative and unique to the traditional school system.
Seeing as how our school is different from other Fayette County Public Schools, I believe this strategy works well for most of our kids. Why? For starters, students chose the exploratories they wanted through a teacher created Exploratory Fair. Teachers bid for our votes with creative boards and tempting treats displaying what their exploratory would study. The student votes determined the exploratories that would be offered to the students.
Ultimately, the reason why it works, though, is because TLC students have a voice. Being able to be hands on with our learning is process that should be incorporated in all schools. I am very grateful I'm able to take these extra classes for credits while attending TLC. For me, it has made all the difference!
