[quote=Anonymous]Indeed. Though I'm neither a basis booster nor hater, I'm mostly just impressed that a high school freshman is reading Atlantic monthly and expanding upon the authors ideas. I would not have been experienced enough, intellectually engaged enough, or just self-assured enough to have written and submitted that piece to a highly-regarded journal at that age. We just wanted to hang out in the Hardee's parking lot trying to find someone to buy us beer!! So kudos to the author for bring an exceptionally mature and motivated young woman. I think it ultimately comes down to the teachers e thusiam for the subject and high-expectationsfor students. That's what a good teacher does and they can sometimes be found in otherwise crappy schools. But curricum does count too. I hated English in high school as I felt that we'd takes eyre having book and critique the life out of it. Wasn't until a required creative writing class that I learned to love the freedom of the act of putting pen to paper. Glad to here that basis curriculum incorporates Botha d thatin the Scottsdale school they found a gem of a teacher . Hell, I myself would enjoy many of the classes they describe! Just wish it could all be delivered with a gentler hand however, and with more age-appropriate timing.[/quote]
