>> oldodessan: "There are many wonderful programs that get results, like the Zone or George Lucas' Edutopia initiative and many others, but ECISD will lose interest as soon as they find out two things: they are not top-down authoritarian programs where everyone else jumps to the tune of a few bigwigs, and they actually do cost money. Imagine that!
"And the idea of picking a few bits of a successful program makes just as much sense as getting a steering wheel and hubcaps off a Cadillac, bolting them to your bicycle and yelling, ‘Hey, I've got a Cadillac!' "
