    As someone on the left, the school presented by that article sounds like a laundry list of anti patterns that make schools ineffective education. Teachers should be leaders and partners in education, not arbitrary authorities punishing deviation from strict expectations. Kids should learn to respect people helping them to set and achieve their goals, not to fear authorities. Really, they should learn to question arbitrary exercises of authority.

    They should learn how to think critically, solve problems, and work with their peers to do more than they could alone. Not just to test well.

    Having a diverse set of teachers is neat, but doesn’t make up for the other claims.
