  1. RE: In Vermont, the Vermont Student Assistance Corporation (VSAC) and Naviance (a college-readiness software program already in use at the high school) have teamed up with the state education department and have unveiled the online PLP tool that our students will begin using this year.

    I smell a lucrative state contract by a software firm to provide this "tool" - licensing fees, service fees, modification and maintenance fees, etc. So instead of devoting time to actually learning, students will devote untold administrative time to compiling a tidy little PLP that will diffuse academic focus and likely require significant amounts of "managing" the plans so as to actually detract from their educational experience.

    Once again, the bureaucrats have hijacked the classrooms...

  2. I've been saying all along that every student should have an IEP. This doesn't sound quite the same though...

  3. Umm this is used in most of the modern world. All it does is tell the students what classes they need to graduate and what "might" be useful to take towards college requirements...

    1. 5:25, I thought that's what the Guidance Department was for.
