It was mind opening to listen to Logan describe how he plans to be happy and healthy and how hacking education will get him there. Logan sees the school system becoming insanely flexible and though our professors are known to tell us that we must be flexible, I don't think it is possible to make school this flexible for every kid. Every child's needs are different and vary all across but I'm sure if Logan's vision is the answer. But it is refreshing to hear the point of a view of a teen. I am not a fan of Logan's perspective, but I think as a good educator, we need to be open to hearing opinions and perspectives of those that differ from our own. We don't have to agree with the whole picture, but we can try to be in his shoes and understand his vision.
