Age Group(s) of Focus

What student group might be best served by the focus of this school project?


Rachel: Rachel's vote for age groups: small (K ish) through middle (13 ish). Early education prepares students to get the most and best out of even the shittiest high school environments and curricula, by teaching them love of & methods for learning from any available resources. 


Jess: I think we may also want to include a preschool option as well. Children can be ruined before they even begin public school grades. 


Tessie: Ages 11-17.  


Phil: I THINK we decided we'll do ages 11-17 


Jess: "Preschool children, on average, ask their parents about 100 questions a day. Why, why, why—sometimes parents just wish it’d stop. Tragically, it does stop. By middle school they’ve pretty much stopped asking. It’s no coincidence that this same time is when student motivation and engagement plummet. They didn’t stop asking questions because they lost interest: it’s the other way around. They lost interest because they stopped asking questions." http://www.newsweek.com/2010/07/10/the-creativity-crisis.html
