Do you believe that all children should be valued for their own interests, unique talents, and individual definitions of success?

Do you find that extrinsic metrics such as grades, test scores, and selective college admissions have become the primary markers of success in your community?

Do you know that a narrow definition of success often leaves kids feeling stressed, marginalized, or misunderstood?
Do you agree It’s Time for Change?

YES, I Support Change! ([link removed])

“Frankly, we do not have time for a ‘slow rollout,’ or to ‘take small steps’ towards a goal like this. With every year that passes, there is a graduating class that will not be able to reap the benefits of the ones after them. We owe it to students to create an open and welcoming space where they don’t feel as though their mental health must take a dive in order to academically excel.” — high school junior
