Washinton Post Profile Of The Seed Public Charter School
Today's there a great write-up of the Seed Public Charter School. The school requires its students to live on-campus Monday through Friday in the belief that the more they can contol the environment of its kids the more likely they will be to succeed. Here is the most important statement in the article by one of the school's founders Eric Adler:
"Most kids, given a shot, will run with it," says Adler, who, along with fellow management consultant-turned-"social entrepreneur" Vinnakota, established the SEED Foundation (Schools for Educational Evolution and Development) in 1997. "These kids, it turns out, can do just as well as other kids. Once you establish that, at that point, there is no moral authority to do anything else but that investment."
