Megiddo Times June 2015 ARTICLES Interview With the Principal of the School Liron Zakai By Chen Presser, Noa Handverger, Arad Levi and Stav Shalem 1. What do you think about the idea of school uniform? I think that there should be a uniform at school because school uniform shows equality between the students. In addition, school is a public place and it should be respected and the students should dress appropriately. 2. What do you like about the school? I like children and adolescence and I chose this age because puberty is a wonderful age. I think the school has a very good team. I also like the looks of school, there is an atmosphere of a community and people can get to know each other. 3. What changes do you think need to be done at school? I think the most important thing you need to do is to have smaller classes, meaning that the number of students in the class will be no more than 25, the students will keep the school environment clean and that learning will be more varied. 4. What do you think is a good lesson? I think what is a good lesson is a lesson in which there is a good connection between the students and the teacher. The students should have the ability to speak their mind and be active in class. 5. Do you think that the amount of trips at school is good, why? I think there should be more trips, but it costs a lot. Therefore, we have trips in which you can walk to a certain place. When you go on a trip with buses, it costs 12,000 for a grade. 6. Do you like being the school principal? It is a job with a lot of responsibility that can have an impact on children. Choosing this profession makes me feel good and I enjoy seeing their development, but it is not always simple and convenient. Test Title Your text can go here. Your text can go here.
