Students learn in different ways.
Create a learning environment that emphasizes a child s aptitudes and interests, and her performance will improve in other areas as well. Our children aren t failing our schools, our schools are failing our children. Magnet schools can reduce or eliminate that failure. Most magnets emphasize a subject matter theme. Everything from aerospace to music and the arts, dual language immersion to math and science.
