Primary & Secondary Education - December 2007

According to USATODAY: “Students in a handful of big-city school districts have a less than 50-50 chance of graduating from high school with their peers, and a few cities graduate far fewer than half each spring.

what are your opinions? what causes this low graduation rate ? who is responsible? what can the public schools do? is there any solution to this problem

It may sound silly because most kids don't want to go to boarding school. But I want to because I am sick of my home life and my town. I wondered if anyone knew of a boarding school similar to PCA off of Zoey 101? I know it sounds funny to be looking for a boarding school similar to one off of a TV show but if someone knew of one that would be great. I have tried searching google for a couple hours and have not found much. Thank you for your answers.

By encouraging kids to post homework questions?

The most valuable skill anyone ever learns in school, and some would argue the ONLY valuable skill you learn, is how to look things up.

Much of what students are spoonfed is wrong. Most will never be useful and nearly all will have been forgotten by the time it would have been useful.

But if you know how to do research, you can learn anything and have it at your fingertips whenever you need it. The internet makes it incredibly easy. No more stuffy libraries, no more Dewey Decimal System, no more thumbing through card files, just a few keywords and BAM, you've got the answer.

Are we doing kids a service by not making them look things up for themselves? Or are we doing would be tyrants a service by making sure kids don't learn to think for themselves?

I mean the education system in general.. High school also college..

And where do kids get to maximise their learning and are not stopped by factors like friends/society/resources.
thanks :)
