Students Speak Out: Minnesota
About Students Speak Out
On Students Speak Out we share our experiences and ideas to help people who make decisions about our schools understand the issues that impact us.
We want to define the issues for ourselves, and identify solutions. Our voices deserve to be in the mix. We can inspire change!

We've changed SSO a bit
- We will no longer have applications on MyPages, and
- We will allow students to be members of sites that are not their home sites if they are participating constructively in the site’s forum or are otherwise demonstrating an interest in the site’s purpose. This means some of you will be “banned”. Unfortunately, “ban” is the only word Ning (the software we use) allows us to use, but if we could we would say you are being “respectfully removed”.
If you would like to actively participate in the Minnesota forums and are not from Minnesota, please send our moderators an e-mail: ssominnesota@map150.org. And, Milwaukee students, we hope to see you participating in the Milwaukee.StudentsSpeakOut.org forums VERY soon if you are not already!

Who's Reading Your Posts?
"I’m listening. I am working with Clayton Christensen, a Harvard Business School Professor and author of the bestselling book The Innovator’s Dilemma as he prepares a new book on K-12 innovation called Disrupting Class. The stories you're posting here relate to the research Christensen is doing, and your experiences are great insights into what young people in school are thinking. We are aware that we're writing about a process we haven't directly experienced in a long time, so your thoughts are really valuable to us."
Curt Johnson, Citistates Group
"I’m listening. I’m researching the spectrum of online schools in Minnesota, especially how they motivate students to attend school and learn. I know some of you attend these schools, and I am interested in learning from you."
Tim McDonald, Education|Evolving
