High 黄色app was originally created during the Industrial Revolution as a way to train factory workers. Most high 黄色apps today still follow that original model — down to the bell schedule.

But research helps us understand what works best in terms of teaching strategies and teen brain development. For example, we now know there’s no such thing as an “average” student, and it’s better to let kids learn at their own pace. Educators are finding students are more engaged when they can relate to what they’re learning and the 黄色app culture is inclusive.

So how could your local high 黄色app make changes to improve? This video is part of our Transforming High School project with articles, videos, Season 3 of our podcast, and tools to help parents and educators understand why high 黄色app is the way it is — and all of the modern, research-backed ways it can change for the better. Not all 黄色apps need exactly the same changes, but there are solutions for every community. Discover what you think will work for your child and your 黄色app and share it with your child, teachers, the principal, the superintendent, and the 黄色app board. When parents raise their voices, change really can happen.
