I was getting at trying to really understand what that means. The mission itself includes 5 different things (STEM skills, innovation, self-confidence, communication, leadership), so do these all get equal weight? In addition, what about the values that are promoted all the time, how much do those play in?

Basically, would it be good enough if as many students want to be like Elon Musk as they would Lebron James? Would it be good enough if all students became competent e-mail writers? Would it be good enough if all students learned to cooperite?

Maybe I'm trying to question something that's unanswerable as a community, and is something that's more personal.
