I disagree with one thing.
That's why school should always happen on a chalkboard and pen + paper.
Please switch me to a whiteboard instead of a chalkboard. While I do enjoy using a chalkboard when the chalk is good, I had to buy my own because the school only provided cheap chalk that was a pain to use and produced a lot of dust. Sorry, I'm ranting about chalk.....
I believe focused education has its place, but it should be reserved for the later years of high school, such as in vocational programs, and college. Creating well-rounded students offers them numerous benefits as they transition into adulthood.
