How about we redirect our attention on giving parents a choice between existing schools within a broken system? Instead of shuffling and causing what the Boston Globe so interactively describes, let's mash up quality, interactive online learning (such as Khan Academy) with a reimagined form of the apprenticeship model to foster local citizenship again.
I want to make a new choice: Stay within the broken system or Forge a new path that's both local (community-based) and global (digitally infused).
because of the city's school assignment system, the 19 children on Montvale will travel a combined 182 miles each day to attend a dizzying array 15 of public, private, and charter schools. It costs the city dearly in transportation costs, and costs the neighborhood its sense of community.
