Matt Hermes: Prepare for real world
Advertisement
I was a member of the School Board when the high school's Senior Odyssey requirement was enacted. It is a big world out there across the mountains, and education to participate in the global arena requires the rigor that the Odyssey project was intended to highlight. Perhaps it is true that students who will not challenge the best of the best can do without Odyssey, but if it is fine education the Steamboat community wants -- and that was the intention that I brought from my experience in Steamboat -- then it would be a large error to eliminate this requirements for graduation.
