Online Challenge: What would you do?

Submitted by ggevalt on March 6, 2008 - 15:55.

What one thing would you change to improve your high school? Why?

This is a special challenge. Your voice matters. Educational leaders are starting a project aimed at increasing student involvement in high school decisions and curriculum. They want to hear from you.

Some other focusing questions: What would you change to give students more say in school decisions? How would you change the way your courses were taught? How would you change the curriculum to connect it more to your interests? Or to your future? Answer as comments below.

I know, I know. Heady questions. But here's a chance for your voice to matter in a very practical way. A lot of people who make decisions are interested in what you have to say. Give it a try. Thanks. Best essays will get movie tickets.

While we are focusing this on high schools, if you wish to add a comment on how to improve your middle school, feel free.
