There's another thread from the other day on this. As I said there, let's wait and see before we get too excited about these schools.

I think it's a great idea that cannot easily be replicated. My understanding is that these are tiny high schools with less than 250 students who are hand picked.

We keep chasing the wrong side of the problem. It is not the schools it is the parents and students.
