Today I read the article Pursue Passion: Demand Google 20% Time at School. It talked about Google's 20% plan and how students should be introduced to it. Google's 20% plan is to spend 20% of their time at work(equivalent to one work day) pursing what they like. Now, Google wants to bring this to school to prepare students for college. Most students have trouble selecting a major in college because all throughout school we are forced to learn the basics. Teachers don't allow students to follow their passion. Google believes that by allowing students to spend 20% of their school time working on what they love, we can accomplish impossible things and prepare our students for college.
Personally, I like this idea. It would be good for students to work on things they like. Not only will it allow students to be creative and expressive but it will provide new ideas to fix some of today's problems. This is a great project idea and I believe the younger students it's introduced to, the better.
