Take this, "Waiting for Superman"

I got this video last night from my principal. It is awesome.



And it puts the lie to so much covered in Waiting for Superman.

But this type of learning needs to happen now
. And in every school.

This is rather serendipitous since we are talking about how to improve LHS right now in my College Comp classes. I can't wait to show them this clip and see what they think.

We brainstormed five things we would like to see done to improve LHS. This list is always one of my highlights of the year - because I steal from it all the time to improve what I do.

Here is my list -

And I prefaced my list with "If I was lord of education and I could instantly enact policies - regardless of cost or opinion - here is what I would do"

1. A Macbook, Blackberry, and iPod for every student.
2. Unfiltered internet access.
3. All year school (with a comparable amount of days off to our current 9 month system).

But I think the New Brunswick video illustrates my points far better than I did!
