The 21st Century Program is a highly advanced and futuristic program that will benifit us in the future. Initially, the freedom that we get to experience in the program in unbeleivable. The teachers slightly trust & respect us more than the average teacher would by letting us explore the web and teach ourselves about a subject. Next, in the regular school program it's simple to get and they give you the answeres on a board, but in the 21st Century Team they make you find the answer and teach yourself which is the best way to remember the information. Last, this program is preparing and teaching us how to be a leader and have the ability to do whatever we want. the debates that we are assigned to do really help us with social skills. The 21st Century teacheres prepare the students for the future, the regular classes lack the confidence and freedom in speech.
