It seemed nearly unfathomable to imagine that I‚ a single high school student‚ could make any sort of difference in the world.

Students should be promoted to the next grade without mastering the objectives‚ because when a child is held back for a long period of time and their classmates move up to the next grade level while the child who was held back will think they are not smart enough to pass on to the other kids.
