What we do with seniors after the college acceptance letters have arrived and the IB/AP exams are over is certainly worth discussing. Not sure that’s how I would have used it when I was in the classroom, though.

(Of course, she was the most craptacular teacher out there, made us do it at the end of our senior year of high school and for some strange reason, she didn’t care if we actually did any real research or tried to implement any sort of program from it). Oh, and we only had about two weeks to complete it.

Thus, Kristen and I got absolutely nothing from the program. But if it was implemented correctly to a group of people who had more on thier minds than “It’s June of my senior year of high school”, I can see how it would be beneficial. :)
