-6.4-

I was talking to my parents about my day in STAC, yesterday, and we got on the subject of marketing. I realized that the PBS station and we have similar goals, so perhaps we should analyze their marketing strategies (except for their giveaways, of course.) I also realized that we could market STAC as a program that picks up where school's leave off. The phrase sounds nice in my mind. (The phrase from last year was very good, too, but I forgot most it...something with dreams starting when it's STACtime, is all I can recall)
Some brainstorming:
STAC is different because:
-more freedom to pursue own interests
-we work with working artists (when workshops were around...)
-CONNECT areas of art and REALIZE WHY LEARNING IS IMPORTANT
-very hands on
-great field trips
-a big commitment to the arts (3 periods a day for 4 years in my case)
-a multigrade community (the only other classes I've experienced this was in 11th grade AP Bio, 12th grade health, and gym class)
-a supportive community
-ability to fail/experiment
-more independent group projects
-more real-life experiences (responsibility matters more than grades when you take on a project)
-we learn to market ourselves
-lots of connections to history and modern culture (we watch youtubes, but we also watch silent films)
