[quote=Anonymous]I appreciate these replies, and I would welcome more. Unfortunately, in multiple areas, the objective data is very clear as to the decline of our public schools-simply look at the international tables of achievement where we are now mid-table. Look also at recent reports from colleges that kids are coming to them without basic math skills. Look at the reports from businesses regarding the limited social and emotional skills that young employees are bringing into their workplace.  Also, please do not think that our private schools are much better; they are simply pay-for-play models of the increasingly obsolete public schools.  If we are to prepare our kids for the big challenges and opportunities they will face as adults, then we need to reimagine what their 9-13 years of school must look like. The use of the Hero's Journey-the individual facing personal challenges and emerging from them stronger and better-to explainwthe core experience of school is valid. Unfortunately, for too many of our kids, school provides them less and less with the chance to take that journey that offers them a fuller, more positive view of who they are, and wish to be.  Thanks again. Please keep the comments coming.[/quote]
