    I believe this is a Con, because they are accepting students based on what they see on there facebook. When in honesty, it could be a really good student. But that's just what they do on there spare time or in the down time. Grades don't necessarily reflect on how they do in school.

Student skills: Are we doing enough? | ZDNet - 13 views

    I dont think we need a technology requirement to graduate, because most teens are already coming up in the world knowing what Facebook and Twitter are. So making this a requirement would just add more classes to the ones they already have to focus on. Plus, i believe it would get rid of some of the freedom that we have in school, such as the fact we have 2 electives this would get rid of one of them and only leave us with one till at least junior or senior year. But the finance idea, would be nice to learn in school, because most kids go right into debt after graduation.
