I found this article written by Holly Korby to be fascinating. Her focus is on young adults
who aspire to be what she calls, "edupreneurs" or future school reformers and whether or not they believe that a college education is necessary for
them to be successful in this field.
The ideas and opinions of the young adults who are associated with groups such as, Student Voice, UnCollege and The Future Project have opened up a completely new world of research to me. These are the students that I taught, these are the students that I will work alongside as I continue to strive for meaningful and successful school reform in my city, my state and my country.
As Ms. Korby states, the jury is still out on whether a "well-paying job and career opportunity" would be available to a "school reformer" without a college degree or whether a "school reformer" could be considered credible without ever having worked as an educator in the current system. However, the young adults who are forming these reform organizations, in my opinion, are worth taking a look at.
