My Opinions on the Independent Project

• I think that the Independent Project would work well for a certain type of student. 
• I do not think that all students would be able to motivate themselves or want to teach themselves.  
• It would be very hard for some students to transition from our traditional education system that we have now, to the Independent Project way of learning.  
• This program seems like a way to get gaps in your education; you may not learn everything that you should to in order to graduate high school. 
• I personally learn better with someone teaching me rather than teaching myself (that is also partially due to the fact that I can be lazy.) 
• I think that this program would work very well for students who do not learn well in a traditional classroom setting (i.e. students with learning disabilities.)
• What would all the teachers do while we teach ourselves?  They would have to be trained differently.
• I don't think that the Independent Project would be useful for all career paths, but some like entrepreneurship or architects may value this way of learning.
• I do think that there is value in allowing students to choose what they are interested and want to learn about.
• I do believe in some independent work during school because it will teach students how to learn independently, and they will be able to apply this skill in future jobs/career fields.
