[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]PP, why not? The underserved students at Meridian are who IT wants to reach. [/quote] Of course! But not all parents (especially those who are ELL and FARMS families) even want a progressive, child-centered approach for their children's educations. They are more comfortable with traditional "I'm the teacher and I know best" direct instruction that includes worksheets and desks in rows and uniforms. We seek out schools for our children based on our assumptions of what is best in education and on our own history of schooling. So IT looks and is very different from a typical model you'll see in most public schools that serve high ELL and FARMS populations. Doesn't mean it's better, just different. And unless those parents seek out that difference, the population will continue to be what it currently is. [/quote]
