Project based learning has enabled our students to grow and achieve experience needed to succeed whether it be in the work force or continuing with their education. I would love to find a way to properly fund education in public schools that would not keep asking property owners for more funding. The state needs to fix the problem with us having to keep putting levies on the ballot.
