Right to Learn Picks Five Best Stories
As many of you know, I work with an organization called YouthNoise and direct a campaign called Right To Learn. Last fall, Right To Learn set out to ask students throughout California what they thought most needed to change in their schools.
The response was overwhelming and we compiled their tremendous stories in to a report called “Our Schools, Our Stories” and a YouTube video.
Today, we finally were able to announce the five stories voted most compelling by users on the Right To Learn site and an outside panel of judges. I’ve had the great opportunity to get to know these five students over the past couple of weeks and have found them to be tremendously bright and capable.
I encourage you to take a look at their winning stories, and the rest of the stories submitted to Right To Learn, for some inspiration:
- Jean Teodoro, “Free“
- Lauren Grubaugh, “Governor’s cuts will hurt students“
- Eric Seidman, “On Standardizing Education“
- Thomas Bruce, “WHY SHOULD WE CARE?!!!“
- Haiyun Weng, “Psychology“
