  7. Magnet School • Why are magnet schools important?Magnet schools are important because they offer so many different opportunities. The great thing about them is that all magnet schools have a different theme that they focus their school on.Why are magnet schools considered to give more opportunities, what do they have to offer?Magnet schools like ours, are usually smaller than some traditional schools, that allows students learn in a closer family-like environment where not only, everyone knows each other but they have a better opportunity of learning because there are fewer students. That usually allows a closer, more “intimate” level of education.

This fork in the road Which direction do I go To the right Or to the left Won’t someone stroll with me Give me the answers Show me which way to go Fear of making a mistake Hearts  telling me one way Minds telling me the opposite Walk with me No one to talk to But myself Tricking my own mind This image is breathing-taking The streets look the same No clues as to which to take Could be an illusion Assuming one route’s cluttered And the other streamlined Combine the two Come back to reality Continue going straight No decisions to make Nothing to think about Taking life As it comes Life Stroll by R, Gr. 8
