Yes I do believe that, there were differences amongst the types of people I interviewed. I kept the same group, although they were different people. The group that I kept were students, teacher, parent, college administrator, and professor. I would say that the college administrator , would be the group outside looking in. Upon, interview it came to my conclusion, that the college administrator were the ones that slightly opposed the idea compared to the others. The reasoning I received was that it would disturb the system they had in place for differentiating amongst students being let into universities. This was fostering the competitive nature of our education within the states in that each school wants the best and brightest instead of fostering an education to make each student the best and brightest. The need Identified differs from another when the goal shifts. The goal of this need and opportunity differs in that the focus is to improve the quality education students are receiving more so than the improving the statistics of of us education which would come altogether. Moreover, I would say the outsiders need is different than he other ones inside due to the fact the college administrator is more worried about being the best in college rankings, while the others are focused on the individual learning of the student.

Hey Dave, I like the idea that you have come up with. I do believe that this would take a long time for people to get used to or matter of fact even consider. I do think that it would help the US as an overall country, but we have been with this same system for so long now I don't see it changing any time soon. Kids would definitely complain about more tests, but in my opinion, that is the only real way to test your knowledge.
