11. What the Students Are Saying I think teachers in the regular classes like traditional school better because it’s easier for them to have kids just follow them and do what they say, but that doesn’t push kids to be better. They don’t have to connect with kids and work with them individually as much. They just have to teach something once and then give homework. But here, they teach in a way that fits me better. This is awesome! In the regular high school, I was just in the middle of a big herd of people, and we were moved along like cows. In performance-based, I get to choose my own path and move that way. It’s so much more interesting and motivating, and I want to be done early so I can move on with life. And now I will be done early with a higher skill level. Instead of busy work, worksheets, and assignments, in performance-based you get to show you are capable of doing skills, and after you show that you have it down, you can move on. Then all the other things get better because you know it more. I’m doing so much better, and that just makes me try harder. I LOVE being successful at school! This is not as easy as people think. It’s actually harder, but I’m doing better in school now than I ever have. It all makes more sense to me, and I feel good when I see myself moving and getting things done. We are getting a better education here. All the other kids are getting cheated. Too bad for them!

12. “S-- (a Freshman) told me how much she loved this class because the standards are so specific and knowing what she did or did not know has always been blurry in math.” “My student asked how she could sign up for another competency-based class next year. Then she said she wanted to make sure that her little sister coming up from 8th grade could also be in a competency-based class. ” “L-- (a Sophomore) is avoiding taking Geometry because it’s not competency-based next year. Wants to take a year off from Math & do 088 College Prep Senior Year.” “I believe that the Comp Based model is a definite NEED (not a Want) in our system. Too many kids are falling through the cracks without the proper mathematical foundation because they can't keep up with the amount of material presented daily. I believe the Comp Based Model enables... Learning.” - Parent
