If you were the school principal for the day, what things would you change?

Depending, if I go to a public school then I would change the food and the amount of kids in each class.
If I go to a private school then I would change the amount of homework given by teachers and the type of material they are teaching me.
Hope this helps depending on what school you attend:)

The transcontinental railroad provided a means of fast transportation. it cut a 6 month trip into 6 days, created jobs for many people and encouraged immigration. the homestead act played a huge role in western expansion; it allowed settlers to begin a fresh start, and gave them land in exchange for their residence for up to five years and a small fee.
