#8..."They have unusual schools"...
It has been said, "If you want to change society, you have to tell an alternative story."
One of the most significant engines for change is undoubtedly education. However, one need not research very deeply to see that there is much that seems to be broken about the American education system.
The good news is, this story doesn't have to continue to be the dominate storyline. There is another story...an alternative story. Voices like Sir Ken Robinson, Seth Godin, and many others are championing this very worthy cause to imagine a school system that looks very different. An approach that values the "unusual school".
The school system is in need of serious change. It is beautifully informative that the cities that are embracing unusual schools are also the cities that are succeeding.
Can "unusual schools" grow to the point where they are no longer "unusual" but rather are the "usual"?
