- My dream school begins at 9 a.m and ends at 4 p.m. Every student can wear whatever they like to go to school. We can have fewer lesson in school, we will have more art subject like piano, guitar, dancing, singing ... and eveyone can choose their favorite subject to learn and those art subjects are free. The student in my ideal school don't need to do a lot of homework. Our teacher are friendly and ready to support us when we have trouble in class. The students are obedient and polite, they never break the rules. The teachers in school know how to teach the students the way to keep chool tidy and clean. We have a bigger space to do outdoor activities like football, badminton, swimming..... Moreover, there is a wide garden for student to take care of flowers and plants. I think my school is the great place for the student and I love it.
