Kentucky Department of Education

As a part of the Kentucky Department of Education "Voices of Reason" Student Summits, Middle and High School students attended a session entitled "the Good, the Bad and the Ugly."  Students were asked to provide input on what they would describe as "The Good" about their school. Next, they were asked to tell what they did not like about their schools "the Bad". Lastly, they were asked to indicate what was absolutely in need of change in their school; "The Ugly." If these things did not change, they could prove to be serious barriers for other students to find success in a 21^st Century post-secondary world. While the "Good" and the "Bad" indicated many cultural issues, it was the "Ugly" that proved most profound in light of recent Refocusing Secondary discussions.

Students also attended a session entitled "Movin' on Up- Middle to High School Transitions".  The were asked what worked for their transition, what would have worked better, and what they would like to see happen.

Below are the summaries of comments student shared at the summits.
