Some Mid-Michigan high school students are embracing the opportunity to learn more about government on the eve of the inauguration. A new partnership with Bentley Community Schools and Michigan Virtual School is helping to shape the students’ perspectives on politics. So far, students are responding well to the new AP Government and Politics class online, and it has a lot to do with this election. It’s been a hot topic in class, and the inauguration is providing yet another opportunity for them to debate and learn. “It’s just so different than anything we’ve ever had,” explained Bentley sophomore, Sam Barnett. “Just the candidates are more vocal. It’s just different than anything we’ve seen.”
