A counter-trend to the thrill-seeking teenager, 18-year-old Dylan O'Byrne is running his own campaign for a seat on the school board in Wood-Ridge, New Jersey. He states: “I know first hand what’s going on, I see it day-to-day in the classroom.” He’s relying on bringing in fresh ideas and his main concerns are teacher turn-over rates and low test scores. The community of parents support Dylan, thinking he’ll bring an authentic perspective to an outdated system. (ABC News)
