School.

Everyone has to do it. Everyone has to go.

It's synonymous with feelings of dread, tediousness, and apprehension.

My school. 

Everyone WANTS to go. Everyone wants to do it.

It is synonymous with feelings of excitement, engagement, and confidence.

The government is obesses with standardization, but they are focused on the wrong things. 

I don't want to be part of the assembly line that is education. I want to be an individual.

I want to be like Hugh is to the Borg. I'm here to say resistance is not futile.

At my school, students get up early, like 5 AM early, without arguement, because we want to go.

#StandardizeThat

At my school, we have no lockers, just open cubbies. Trust, Respect, Responsibility.

So what's so special about my school?

What makes it so different?

Why is it such a revolutionary idea to teach students so they learn the material, not just regurgitate information on tests?

At my school, we are a family. We stick up for each other. Bullying rarely happens.

#StandardizeThat

At my school, we work to teach us real-world experience like working with difficult people.

At MY school, we work with community partners to make connections that involve current issues.

Education.

It doesn't have to be tedious. It doesn't have to be a chore. 

Education MUST adapt if America strives to be on the top of the rat-race we call the "global education race".
