Testing the Hypothesis, Part 1

Opportunities: Teachers are starting to more explicitly state their preferences towards their students, shaping them with their own views, and setting up one more obstacle that students have to break through to get to the real learning. There is enough red tape surround schools, keeping teachers from adequately teaching young students. There is an opportunity to create a different type of school/service.

The who: Children of school age, from pre-k to high school

The what: They have to go through a lot to get a quality education

The why: There is a lot of red tape, politics, and other people’s views that gets in the way of a true education.

Hypothesis:

    Testing the who: Everyone in my current 'who' share the need, parents also are the ones who want this for their children.

    Testing the what: Not all teachers are the problem, just some of them and it includes both private and public schooling.

    Testing the why: There’s no accountability for under-educated students, wasted funding, overcrowded, a lack of teacher education innovation, ignoring the educational opportunities that technology has afforded, every student is being treated the same, they give up on student too easily. There is plenty of why’s that could come up. By talking to the parents I learned just to what extent this issue could affect the child not just in their education, but also socially.

What I learned: I learned many important things from this assignment. After the interviews, I could tell that not just parents, but students would also want this. They see the opportunities this could afford them not only now in their school years, but also in their future.
