Google's 20% in School


The article posted above is about Google's 20% project and why it should be in schools. What happens in this project is that Google employees get 20% of their work time each day to work on a separate project that pursues their passions. The writer of this article, Katherine von Jan, thinks that they should use this method in school. That means that every day in school, kids would be able to spend 20% of each day to do something that they want to do. In my opinion, this is a very good idea. The project would give student a chance at what they want to do. They would be able to be themselves, and figure out what they really love. Also, it would give them an idea of what type of career they would want to do one day. It could really help with stress too, since it would be away from hard work, tests, and quizzes. No one could tell you what to do because it would be your own passion. If the Google 20% project was used in schools, it would in my opinion really help kids and help the future too with bringing new, original ideas.
