Bill, may I suggest that you check out Edison Schools, EDSN. Here is the link to get you started. The site is rich, deep, and with extensive coverage on much, including their 10-point philosophy. I think you will be impressed. Disclosure: I own EDSN long. edisonschools.com

Judging Books by Their Covers Richard P. Feynman textbookleague.org More Feynman... Richard Feynman told a national science teachers convention in 1966: "We have many studies in teaching, for example, in which people make observations, make lists, do statistics, and so on, but these do not thereby become established science, established knowledge. They are merely an imitative form of science-- analogous to the South Sea island airfields, radio towers, etc., made out of wood. The islanders expect a great airplane to arrive. They even build wooden airplanes of the same shape as they see in foreigners' airfields around them, but strangely enough, their wood planes do not fly. The results of this pseudoscientific imitation is to produce experts, which many of you are. You teachers who are really teaching children at the bottom of the heap can maybe doubt the experts once in a while. Learn from science that you must doubt the experts. As a matter of fact, I can also define science another way: Science is the belief in the ignorance of experts." Richard P. Feynman: Books geocities.com
