@cathylbella @TOWTteachers I wrote mine before reading yours but I think we're saying super similar things! #greatminds

[Maggie Kays @mkaysDMS]

@TOWTteachers I think one of the biggest reasons is because we don't involve students in the learning process. Our system is so focused on a set of prescribed standards that individual interests get lost sometimes.
