Iowa high school student Jack Hostager says:

Are you going to do what makes you look good or work for a system that does what’s best for students? Are we going to test the daylights out of me to get our bar a little bigger than everyone else’s on some national assessment data graph, or are we going to move towards a system that rewards meaningful learning and develops critical, concerned, productive citizens?
