Hi X,

RE:

"I have a good friend who teaches in a one room school house in a neighboring county. She has had wonderful success with her students in a very small one room school multiage classroom. She recently finished her masters looking into how one room school houses perform- and like small schools, the kids in one room schoolhouses perform very well."

Thank you for bringing this up, because:

I have written in the past about my first hand experiences in the "one room school" and of which I have endorsed..And from which myself and my family have benefited from that spring board.. And yes it is a more invigorating environment for the lucky few..

But I don't know, I think WE, our family and others like us, WOULD HAVE BENEFITED from ANY public school system that offered the basics of education.. Because WE would have got the BASICS of LIFE, our foundation, from our HOME .But we would have all drank, deeply at the tertiary trough (public education).. Because the water was there..

LONG LIVE PUBLIC EDUCATION.. in whatever form..
