As far as your other comments about agreeing with the author's opinion that we need to change the organization of the school system, not just add new money and technology to it, in this last Sunday's edition of "Parade" magazine (which comes with the San Jose Mercury), on page 12 there is an interesting article about a school in Massachusetts that does very well with a paultry budget. I'll bring it to class tonight.
