PLN #2

Dear Will Richardson,

I believe that students have reached their limit, not schools. Schools are able to cooperate with the standardized testing, but there not the ones taking the test. The more competition between the schools will just cause the students to be pushed harder to learn material over and over so they'll get high scores on Standardized Testing. Finally, there is the school reform acts which aren't really helping schools. The millions of dollars they're pushing into the school system won't help education at all. They're just some new acts to satisfy the American Public. I believe that we really should concentration on subjects they like before they get to High School. If we let student's be naturally curios instead of pushing them towards the schools goals for education. With the students finding what they're interested we will have more intelligent people in they're jobs. Before they're even hired they'll know everything possible because they will have almost 13 years to study that area.
