The Independant Project - Response

              It is great to see students organizing themselves to create a school on their own. What I love from that is that even students who are doing bad in academic courses can find their interest and actually go to University with that. As I watched this video, I thought that students who were doing bad in academic courses weren't stupid, they just had interests in other things. The Independant Project is perfect for those students. The students can help each other learn and study more about their interests and become really good at it. They can actually go to university by just studying about their interests. Also, the students are collaborating with each other by themselves and it shows that they are actually really trying to learn and do well on what they are interested in. One of the students in the video noticed that in his presentation, he was lacking some things. So he researched and studied and perfected his presentation by getting help from his peers. He didn't give up but presented again because he actually wanted to learn something. There was also this guy who was at the age of going to university but couldn't, because he lacked in academic courses. So he found out that he was interested in music and practiced for 3 years on playing piano. He actually managed to go to university by doing this. I think Independant Project is more for older and responsible students because in this program, you are on your own, you actually have to try to learn something and get supported by your peers as well, to learn everything of a certain thing that interests you.
