Metro School

On our minds lately has been the looming public vs private school dilemma for the kids.

A big ray of hope these last few weeks has been this proposal for The Metro School, by Dr. William Cala. His idea is inspirational...I hope it becomes a reality:

"The way we have populated our schools is appalling," says Cala "What we have is an economic apartheid. Urban schools do not look like the rest of society, and suburban schools don't either. Both groups of students need to be prepared to enter a global workforce that is multicultural."

Sounds like the concept behind magnet schools in the 1970s, prior to the sharp urban/suburban economic divide!
