As we discussed in class, I would have to agree that "The Independent Project" would be ideal in the senior year of high school. This would help students figure out what they want to do with the rest of there life in a faster manner. Instead of going through the motions in the last year of high school, why not use the year to explore? Perhaps find the dream you were dreaming of?
However, another point I have come a crossed in my mind is the idea of college in itself. College is "The Independent Project" in its truest form. Where else can one learn what they want to do, and get a recognition for it? In this light, it could be quite intelligent to think of college as the dream outlet. The idea of being graded for an individualized goal is the intention of college.
Looking at both of these points, which one should we prefer and implement? That is for you to decide. For me, college is "The Independent Project." Someone may have come along and said, "what if we had students study what they were interested in? Wouldn't that be a great idea?" Yes, it would, but it was already created.
In argument, "The Independent Project" in its beginnings prompted students to continue their education to highly respected colleges. These students not only found a passion, but continued it on throughout their future career. This outcome is very impressive, and therefore could be a proof of the positives in "The Independent Project."
