			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p> No offense teachers, but a lot of the time I&#8217;m totally bored at school!  I&#8217;m tired of:</p>
<ul>
<li>Copying notes on paper</li>
<li>Worksheets</li>
<li>Lectures</li>
<li>Homework on paper</li>
<li>Textbooks (All of them.)</li>
<li>Reading article handouts</li>

</ul>
<p>Now, here&#8217;s how you could improve these problems:</p>
<ol>
<li>Rent each student a PDA, on which they can store homework worksheets, write notes, annotate, and do their homework on.</li>
<li>Have textbooks on the internet or store on the abovementioned PDAs</li>
<li>In gym, buy a Dance Dance Revolution game, which is great exercise once you get good at it.  (I burn 16 calories each song.)</li>
<li>Use technology other than computers in class.</li>
<li>Make the whole school out of holograms, give the students jetpacks, and build robots to replace the teachers.  (My favorite idea.)</li>
<li>Find some educational video game, and let the students play them.  (There must be millions for math class.)</li>
</ol>
<p>So those are some things to think about.  Especially number five.</p>
