I’d Suck at Being a Teen Today — The Good Men Project
"My son checks online about a college out east he’s curious about. He picks up a few facts and data. And suddenly he’s panicking about his class schedule. We see natural disasters occur – many times live on our televisions or computers – and we become overcome with a desire to help. Again, some of these things are extraordinarily good. But they illustrate the demands placed on our shoulders by having easy access to information.

Technology makes it nearly impossible for many kids to get a break. When I was a 16-year-old who had a bad day, I’d go home, put some headphones on and listen to my favorite album until my dad called me down for dinner. Today, that same 16-year-old might toss on headphones and listen to music on their iPhone. But they also are checking Facebook and texting at the same time. They still are getting sucked into the drama of their life and their friends."

PRE-Texts § Cultural Agents Initiative
"PRE-Texts© is an instructional program for teachers in schools and after-school centers to adopt and adapt techniques that enhance higher order thinking through hands-on engagement with literature. The program offers units of instruction that invite economically disadvantaged students to explore literature as recyclable material, re-writing classic texts through creative techniques that incorporate visual and performing arts. PRE-Texts© also encourages students to display their work in public performances, art exhibits, and entrepreneurial activities that involve the local community and feature dialogue between established writers and young people. It  is an ever-evolving program, and its underpinnings have been tailored to both a professional development curriculum and an after-school program for a range of students, from elementary to high school."

How college prep is killing high school - Ideas - The Boston Globe
"Emerging research in the education world suggests that a tougher approach to high school academics might leave students no better prepared for college and work, while also increasing the number of high school dropouts. The National Research Council concluded that high school exit exams have decreased high school graduation rates in the United States by 2 percentage points without increasing achievement. In Chicago, a 2010 study found no positive effects on student achievement from a school reform measure that ended remedial classes and required college preparatory course work for all students. High school graduation rates declined, and there was no improvement in college enrollment and retention rates among students who did graduate."

The high school transcript is the most nefarious force in education that no one is talking about « Re-educate Seattle
"High school is a game that’s played by a certain set of rules. Those who are good at understanding and following the rules are rewarded with A’s. The problem is that, often, these rules have nothing to do with a student’s command of academic content.

So all the complexity of Jane, Andrew, and Zelia are reduced to this:

Jane – A
Andrew – B
Zelia – F

As their classroom teacher, I can tell you with certainty: these letters, they do not mean what you think they mean."

James Brown as school principal « Re-educate Seattle
"We talked about “Cultural Relations”…in which the school would rearrange the class schedule for an entire week while students led forums on issues like racism & sexism. The students led the forums. Adults were instructed to sit at their desks & stay out of the way.<br />
<br />
The result, of course, was mayhem. It was the same every year, with some of the discussions spiraling out of control, hordes of students skipping out to grab coffee…attendance counts hopelessly inaccurate. The administration had lost control of the school.<br />
<br />
But when you talk to alumni from that era, many will tell you that Cultural Relations was a life-changing experience. Because amid all the chaos, there were still moments when black kids, white kids, Asian kids, Latino kids, gay and lesbian kids, kids who had been abused, rich kids and poor kids . . . they engaged each other in authentic conversations about their lives and their experiences. These conversations were raw and unfiltered. They were real…"

Alternative 'Commie' High Mellows with Time : NPR
"Small, alternative high schools are like butterflies: They're unique and colorful, and they don't survive very long.<br />
<br />
Experimental high schools are often born in a burst of enthusiasm, then disappear when the budget gets tight. But amid all the changing flavors of education reform, one school has hung in there. Community High School in Ann Arbor, Mich., has offered children in this progressive city an alternative to traditional high school since 1972.<br />
<br />
For a high school, Community is small — 450 students housed in a well-worn former elementary school. But if you want a quick glimpse at what really makes Community different, don't go to a regular class. Go to what Community calls a "forum."<br />
<br />
Teacher Robbie Stapleton uses the forum — an enhanced homeroom — to teach values and to encourage students to bond deeply with their peers, who will spend their entire four years in high school meeting with the same group."

High School Teaches Thoreau in the Woods : NPR
"The Walden Project is an alternative program focused on environmental studies and on the teachings of Henry David Thoreau, who did some of his best thinking outdoors at Walden Pond.<br />

Life Consists with Wildness<br />
<br />
Matt Schlein, a New York native, is 50 percent of the staff at Walden. After years teaching in a traditional high school, Schlein started a foundation that raised the money to buy the 260 acres that the Walden Project uses as its classroom.<br />
<br />
Two or three days a week, Schlein drives through the farmlands around Vergennes, Vt., parks his well-used Toyota next to a 200-year-old barn, grabs some vegetables from a garden he maintains and walks nearly a mile through the woods.<br />
<br />
On one school day in early January, Schlein gets to a spot where 19 students sit on a motley collection of old chairs and benches. Schlein starts to read from Thoreau's essay "Walking."…"

Walden: Introduction « Willowell Foundation
"student…is asked to distill this info & create a cohesive picture of the world. While it is undoubtedly true that many students have achieved success w/ this model, it is also clear that this model does not work for everyone. Creating a sense of one’s place in world, through education, is a highly individualized affair. To that end, it is important that we offer students a variety of ways to wrestle w/ the important questions of learning, where there is a natural thematic connection linking the fields of study. There is a historical precedence for this type of interdisciplinary education.<br />
<br />
On the following pages, you will read about TWP…a model based upon this idea…each academic discipline is discussed & its relationship to the VT Framework of Standards is detailed…program itself is designed so these distinctions are blurred. While students will undoubtedly gain the skills in each academic discipline, these skills will be developed as part of a broader mode of inquiry."

Outside In: The Walden Project Helps Students See the Forest for the Trees | Edutopia
"not school in the traditional sense. It is a community of 19 students & 2 teachers who use this former farmland for what the founder calls a "great, living template for education." They spend three days a week outdoors, through fall, bitter winter, and spring. On Tuesdays, for Field Sociology class and writing, the students visit government offices, nonprofit organizations, & other institutions in Burlington, a college town of 40,000 located 20mi away.<br />
<br />
On Fridays, they work at internships in their areas of interest, such as Web design or photography.<br />
<br />
Matt Schlein, who had taught English, drama, & psychology at VUHS for 6 years, founded the project in 2000 with a vision of authentic, student-directed learning based in nature. He created a small foundation, Willowell, and collected grants and donations to buy the 230 acres Walden Project participants call simply "the land" -- a swath of sloping fields spotted with woods & ringed by the Green Mountains."

The Periscope Project: Urban Education Initiative by The Periscope Project — Kickstarter
"Designed by resident contemporary artists, architects, and educators, the first annual Periscope Urban Laboratory will teach high school students drawing, photography, video-making, construction, hydroponic gardening, and critical thinking skills as potent tools for urban analysis, public art, and environmental sustainability.<br />
<br />
Each lab in the series will guide high school students in producing an analytically engaging artistic response to a contemporary regional urban issue and will culminate in a gallery show at the end of the summer. More importantly, we hope to equip students with valuable technical, visual, and aesthetic communication tools necessary to understand, interpret, and critically respond to the urgent urban challenges they face.<br />
<br />
We already have the space, skilled instructors, and community support. With your help, the next step is equipment and supplies."

Let's start by correcting juvenile justice laws…while we're doing that, let's make sure that we are moving kids toward freedom, that Middle School looks more open, more chaotic, than elementary school. That High School looks, & is, more open still. That, like adults, kids aren't badgered for being 5 minutes late, or for forgetting something. That, like adults, kids have the freedom to sit, stand, or walk around - freedom to use the toilet, freedom to eat & drink in most places. That, like adults, kids have the freedom to control their own learning.

If we are training our kids to be adults, lets first not make them adults for wrong reasons…then, lets show them what it actually means."

DIY U: Digital Apprenticeship and the Modern Guild | e-Literate
"Jim Groom suggested apprenticeship might be a good model for networked learning, particularly for those students who are not auto-didactic…a model that is well understood, can work for a variety of topics in less formal settings, can get learners productive on certain tasks quickly, & can get the benefits of scale by using modern communications technologies…So in this post, I’m going to consider the question of what it would take to embed apprenticeship into the fabric of our society as a broadly accepted career path across a wide range of career types…<br />
<br />
If it’s really going to take hold, then digital apprenticeship has to be very clearly class-leveling rather than class-perpetuating. But what would that look like? How can we craft a modern apprenticeship relationship that has a close bi-directional apprentice/master relationship and is economically leveling?"

:: NuVu studio
"Students register for a specific studio such as “Balloon Mapping”, “Music and the City”, or “Future of Global Warming” of which there will be approximately 10 students, one Coach and an Assistant Coach. The Coach begins by providing a general overview of a problem to the students, an ambiguous real-world problem with potentially millions of answers. With the Coach’s help each student frames the problem from his/her perspective and enters into an iterative development process supported by the studio team of students & advisors.<br />
<br />
Students are provided with access to outside resources – leading thinkers and experts – to whom they present their framework and receive feedback. Students document their process and progress, continually reviewing it with the Coach. They set parameters, synthesize, and continue refining, refining, refining. NuVu trains students to apply multiple perspectives to challenge and refine ideas over and over again until it becomes a natural way of learning."

High School Biology Today: What the Committee of Ten Did Not Anticipate -- Vázquez 5 (1): 29 -- CBE—Life Sciences Education
"Since the recommendation of biology (or natural history, as it used to be called) in 1893 as part of the high school science curriculum, biology was considered a descriptive subject. In the late 1890s biology consisted of zoology, botany, and physiology. The group that decided on the high school science course configuration was the Committee of Ten. The committee was organized by the National Education Association (NEA) in 1892 to deal with the issue of uniform college entrance requirements. This essay argues that the decision of the Committee of Ten to place biology before chemistry and physics needs to be reexamined. The committee's recommendations are still being implemented over a hundred years later, and the issue of high school science course sequence is currently being debated."

"We are in the midst of paradox in math education. As more states strive to improve math curricula and raise standardized test scores, more students show up to college unprepared for college-level math. The failure of pre-college math education has profound implications for the future of physics programs in the United States. A recent article in my local paper, the Baltimore Sun: “A Failing Grade for Maryland Math,” highlighted this problem that I believe is not unique to Maryland. It prompted me to reflect on the causes."

Can you think of anything more sinister, since every child is so different, every family is different? Parents need to block out sound & fury from media & other parents, find formula that fits family best."...Finally, there is the gift of humility...We can fuss & fret & shuttle & shelter, but in the end, what we do may not matter as much as we think."

Tuttle SVC: RttT Input Meeting Impressions
"I stuck around for LDH's [Linda Darling-Hammond] afternoon presentation on international perspectives on high school assessment. Her line of argument strikes me as airtight and devastating, striking right at the heart of the whole "competitiveness" premise for reform. The school systems around the world that are outperforming us (supposedly) simply aren't anything like the one that "reformers" are advocating.

Seth's Blog: The Rule of High School
"As in high school, the winners are the ones who don't take it too seriously and understand what they're trying to accomplish. Get stuck in the never ending drama (worrying about what irrelevant people think) and you'll never get anything done. The only thing worse than coming in second place in the race for student council president is... winning."

Independent Puget Sound Community School frees kids to choose own paths
"freewheeling center of self-directed education in Seattle - which makes Montessori seem regimented - goal is to honor students' individual learning styles while ensuring they meet state academic requirements...In keeping with school's emphasis on personal responsibility & choice, students can opt out of service projects & spend Weds studying independently. Each student has 131 hrs annually that can be spent away from school & used at their discretion...students say school's approach requires motivation & considerable work to ensure they're learning...there are no counselors to track credits...Not all of its 5 staff instructors are certified teachers, a qualification Smallman sees as unnecessary, possibly even counterproductive...said the school doesn't track how many of its graduates go on to higher ed, but doesn't see that as ultimate measure of its success...gauges that instead on whether past & present students are "satisfied with their position in life -- whatever that may be."

O’DonnellWeb - College without High School: The review
"lays out action plan for how HS age kid can have amazingly good time unschooling through HS years while building a dynamite college resume at same time...starts w/ knowing what you want...process of dream mapping. Starting w/ big picture things you want to do (become an astronaut, bike across the US, etc) & narrowing it down to short term (as in this week!) & longer goals that will get where you want to be...ends with picking 1 action item for each dream that can be accomplished in the next 5 minutes...an exercise a lot of us older folk could benefit from!...real gem in book is how he breaks down college admissions process...colleges looking for a few things, intellectual passion, leadership, logical reasoning skills, ability to handle structured learning environment, & background knowledge...exhibiting a lot of these attributes is actually easier outside of traditional HS schedule...takes the reader through each 1, showing examples of how unschooler can show all this on college app"

From Degrading to De-Grading
"Three Main Effects of Grading:...1. Grades tend to reduce students’ interest in the learning itself...2. Grades tend to reduce students’ preference for challenging tasks...3. Grades tend to reduce the quality of students’ thinking....More Reasons to Just Say No to Grades: 4. Grades aren’t valid, reliable, or objective...5. Grades distort the curriculum...6. Grades waste a lot of time that could be spent on learning...7. Grades encourage cheating...8. Grades spoil teachers’ relationships with students...9. Grades spoil students’ relationships with each other...Grade Inflation...and Other Distractions...Common Objections [to getting rid of grades]..."Elementary & middle schools that haven’t changed their practices often cite the local high school as the reason they must get students used to getting grades regardless of their damaging effects -just as high schools point the finger at colleges"...Making Change...In the Meantime" + "Must Concerns About College Derail High School Learning?"

Why Our Current Education System Is Failing
"Sub-par grades + no awards + poor attendance = the end of my life Right? I beg to differ...For most of my life (along with millions of others) I have been taught to believe that the secret to a successful life is to get outstanding grades. Slowly...I have discovered this premise to be completely false...Many of my current classmates, each of whom could literally change the world, are paralyzed by fear, and are instead choosing the path of security: That is get good grades. Get a job. Be happy. Unfortunately that’s rarely how it unfolds...I’m not suggesting that ancient texts such as Shakespeare don’t have any value, however what the students read should be up to them...Our current education system is putting too much effort into things that don’t matter. Busy work. Perfect grammar. Memorization. All of which does nothing for us 10 years down the road...Education is meant to help us find our passion, our purpose in life. Unfortunately, our current education system fails miserably."

Teenage bohemia: Being self-taught in New York City. - InTheFray Magazine
"In parts of Brooklyn & Lower Manhattan, where coffee shops are packed with freelancers, many scarcely a decade older than Jess & Caroline Kjellberg, tapping on laptops and jabbering on iPhones, one might wonder whether, for a certain kind of kid, school may be obsolete...“Now,” he says, “I will consciously think I have an interest in x & then I will do all the research on x & then see if x is available in a class nearby.” The question is whether this laissez-faire approach can work for just any kid. Gibbons suspects not. As kids get older & parents get more hands-off...“It really does leave all initiative and methodology and direction to the individual student.” Some teens, just like some children, are capable of challenging themselves, he says, but others many need a push. ... The reality, she says, is that unschooling is just life. Sure, it’s great to decide what you want to do, but there are days when things don’t go your way. She wishes unschoolers acknowledged that more often."

Truancy Origins: We Don't Need No Education | Geekdad from Wired.com
"While Truancy got a generally good reception, I was amused at how many reviewers argued with the author's premise that school is really, really bad. One interviewer -- whose sister attended the same elite public high school in New York City as Fukui -- even tried to make the argument that students in other parts of the world would love to have the opportunities Fukui did. (A variation on the "children are starving in Europe" defense, which as far as I know never convinced anyone to eat their peas.) Having lived through 13 years of public school, I can report that for many people institutionalized education is indeed really, really bad -- so bad that we go to great lengths to keep our own kids out of it. To minimize that negative experience because the sufferer is young, or talented, or even socially privileged, is a mistake, in my opinion. And I applaud Fukui and his family for having the courage to make that message known."

Op-Ed Contributors - Transitions - Should the Obama Generation Drop Out? - NYTimes.com
"Discrediting the bachelor’s degree is within reach because so many employers already sense that it has become education’s Wizard of Oz. All we need is someone willing to yank the curtain aside. Barack Obama is ideally positioned to do it. He just needs to say it over and over: “It’s what you can do that should count when you apply for a job, not where you learned to do it.”"

College Without High School: A Teenage Guidebook by Blake Boles

Weblogg-ed » As Parents, How Should We Assess Schools?
"Now I know it’s not totally fair to make comparisons here, but I wish I would have heard more of those types of responses about the high school. I wish I would have heard stories of kids changing the world, of pushing through personal barriers, of creative expressions, of challenges met, of real work for real purposes. I wish it had been more than PSATs and AP tests.

O’DonnellWeb - Newt: Let’s go back to the days of teenage sweatshops
"I certainly don’t disagree with the notion that institutionalizing teenagers all day is a not the best idea we have had. A much more open and flexible education model for young adults is something that I support whole heartedly. However, essentially forcing kids all kids into the real world at age 13 is not the answer either. That simply enforces the already bad idea that the only purpose of school is to get a job, apparently the sooner the better."

About the Zinn Education Project | The Zinn Education Project
"The Zinn Education Project promotes and supports the use of A People’s History of the United States in middle and high school classrooms across the country. The goal is to introduce students to a more accurate, complex, and engaging understanding of United States history than is found in traditional textbooks and curricula. The empowering potential of studying U.S. history is often lost in a textbook-driven trivial pursuit of names and dates. Zinn’s A People’s History of the United States emphasizes the role of working people, women, people of color, and organized social movements in shaping history. Students learn that history is made not by a few heroic individuals, but instead by people’s choices and actions and therefore students’ own choices and actions also matter. We believe that through taking a more engaging and more honest look at the past, we can help equip students with the analytical tools to make sense of — and improve — the world today."

What You'll Wish You'd Known [advice for high school sudents]
"Kid curiosity is broad and shallow; they ask why at random about everything. In most adults this curiosity dries up entirely. It has to: you can't get anything done if you're always asking why about everything. But in ambitious adults, instead of drying up, curiosity becomes narrow and deep. The mud flat morphs into a well. Curiosity turns work into play. For Einstein, relativity wasn't a book full of hard stuff he had to learn for an exam. It was a mystery he was trying to solve. So it probably felt like less work to him to invent it than it would seem to someone now to learn it in a class. One of the most dangerous illusions you get from school is the idea that doing great things requires a lot of discipline. Most subjects are taught in such a boring way that it's only by discipline that you can flog yourself through them."
