Schools need more elaborate learning plans for different students.
Some students are autistic, have ADHD, and other disorders that can effect learning.
Certain students- including me- cannot focus unless the learning target ;
  • Benefits them
  • Rewards them in some way
  • Interests them
It is extremely hard for certain kids to grasp certain concepts if they believe that it cannot benefit them or if they simply cannot understand it.
A few examples can be in math. This includes decimals, negative numbers, the list goes on.
Classrooms should also be themed to have students engage in learning.
It improves grades, increases interest in the subject, as well as improves a sense of belonging.
It also helps if the kid is hyper-fixated on the theme of the classroom, as they can engage in their fixation while still learning.
Schools should also provide classrooms that the student can choose to be in.
Of course, this should only be for 6th grade and up since anything below is basic skills that will be needed in life. (such as counting)
Allowing kids to choose their learning plans allows them to actually engage in what the teacher is teaching instead of being forced into something that may not interest or benefit them in the long run.
When a kid can choose what they learn, it brings them a sense of responsibility, belonging, and increases decision making.
This also can help a kid figure out what they actually enjoy by letting the kid switch classes if they are disinterested in the subject.
Not only does this help a kid in many ways, but also saves a teacher time with having to deal with bad behaving students or students that do not listen to them. 
It helps the teacher not have to repeat themselves, scream, yell, etc.
Schools should also provide sensory rooms where a kid can either stim or take a break.
This can last anywhere from 10 minutes to half an hour.
Allowing a neurodivergent kid to stim or take a break from whatever is overstimulating them can improve focus, build a strong mindset, and help them learn that it is okay to take breaks or to ask for help.
Schools should also provide things such as fidgets or weighted things for kids that are not high-support-needs.
Some kids (including me) cannot handle loud noises.
Loud noises causes stress,
and when an autistic kid is stressed out? They cannot focus and will do anything to get away from what is stressing them out.
And doing a learning target is not getting away, it is a required task that can stress them out more.

I agree with some of the points that you made but the majority is very wrong in my opinion. I agree that there should be sensory rooms for children with autism, but almost everything else I have an argument against. Being able to switch classes whenever they are uninterested could be very unbenifital and could make them miss extremely important information. If this were implemented everyone would just skip math and now none of our kids with ADHD don't know how to do decimals and fractions which are very important. You say this would improve grades of children with disabilities, but in reality it would do quite the opposite, if they completely skip math, then they wont know vital skills, and if they skip for a day or two and then come back then they will be very confused and it would cause the teacher to have to repeat herself which is quite literally one of the things that you said wouldn't have to happen under your plan. Also, I think that the themed classrooms are only a good idea for those in elementary, not middle school. If you have them in middle school, then when they get to high school they think they will have it but under my control there would not be themed classrooms in high school because by then they are nearly adults and need to prepare for the real world.

Alright for starters your statement is not only very short but also unorganized.
Every kid is different with different plans in their life.
Themed classrooms CAN correlate to certain jobs such as marine biologists. If a classroom is themed as an aquarium and that class is about biology, then it will in fact improve engagement, but also help kids see what their job could look like.
I believe that the "Switch whenever" statement was a little undermined by me, I more so meant it as if the kid is clearly disinterested and refuses to do the work due to not being interesting for them then they can talk to somebody, get it figured out if the kid is dealing with a mental problem or actually gets stressed from doing said learning target then they can be moved into a class that actually lets them enjoy their learning.
I am going to be completely honest, I despise math and get awfully stressed by the thought of it. Now I don't mean "Oh my god I am having a mental breakdown because of 1+1" but more so decimals being multiplied when I truly do not need it in life and the only reason I do it is for a good grade.
Nonetheless, being absent for a day or two will not interfere with the learning unless the kid is absent on a brand new learning target that is a whole 180 from what they were learning beforehand.
Unless the child is clearly stressed, overly upset, or gets aggravated in a certain subject then they cannot switch classes.
Our classrooms in our middle school are very dull unless the teacher decorates it.
Everything in the world is decorated one way or another (in the terms of a job unless you're like an ER doctor or some shit.)
and providing a decorated classroom helps kids. 
Our math class often discourages me from learning due to the barren lessons that do not correlate with my plans of life.
My brain often concludes that math is pointless due to my future job of being an author.
Every child is different.
Every teacher is different.
Allowing kids to choose their classes allows the kid to explore what they actually enjoy.
A kid gets clearly stressed by math but is awfully engaged in science or social studies? Replace it with something that does NOT stress them out!
Unfortunately I cannot type more due to how short your statement is. It is really barren, type more next time if you really want to strengthen your argument.
(I sound like an english teacher 🥹)

My statement is short because why use more word when less word do trick. I can get my point across pretty well without having to write an essay, I don't have much to say other than what I said. Now that you state your arguments better, I agree with all your points. I completely misunderstood what you was saying with the themed classrooms and didn't know it was just decorating your classroom and then letting the children choose which one they want. I forfeit know that I understand your stance
