At times, the child teaches the adult, and at other times the adult teaches the child. That change creates an entirely different schooling pattern. For school people to accept computers, Internet, and multimedia into their schools is a statement that the schooling system is in need of radical restructuring. The traditional model of schooling really does not need technology-it just needs the four walls of the classroom with a teacher standing in front telling students what's right and what's wrong. To seriously restruct a school is an awesome task.
All parties have to feel secure, relaxed and have a terrific sense of humor.
I would say no if the small school were a charter school having a limited number of purposes with a high level of involvement of students, teachers and parents. As a final comment I would stand by the proposition that a comprehensive high school is an inadequate and antiquated schooling delivery system. The question of sufficient aid has yet to be linked to what it is supporting. There is probably insufficient aid to our urban centers and Special Needs school districts. The aid to the suburban school districts should be tied to a performance factor which moves these schools to be private schools or private charter schools.
