“I feel like graduation rates and test scores and stuff like that, they don’t even matter…you can be cheating your whole way through high school and you’d still graduate. I feel like what really matters in school is if you’re learning. I feel like in school I don’t go to school to learn. That’s actually ridiculous that I go to school every day to pass. I feel like the school should be graded on how the students are doing.” — Focus Group Report
