#2 – Get rid of semesters and required cores.
So did you know there is a new "requirement" for next year. HS grad bound Ss will need to take a semester of CPR?

College prep.
Stop the college prep goal. This one thing would then allow teachers to take each child as we find them, and take them as far as we can.

I love this paragraph, Dallas
I love this paragraph, Dallas: We juggle our convictions regarding what SHOULD happen in theory with our concerns about what’s actually GOOD for the real kids in front of us. Let’s stop. This is so true. Every kid should be treated as an individual, an exception. This is the key to effective engagement and meaningful learning. I also thought Scott was right on on his proposed changes to high school. There are schools doing this in America. However, they are typically charters and private schools that have the freedom to innovate. These are the type of reforms we could get behind!
