Personnally me I like the idea and the principles! If one day I will create my own blog where there will be green page I will me a link to your blog! By the way, I've never heard about Larry Rosenstock, but now I see I should lean more about him!
This is a great idea, because Larry's model of urban education is focused for every student, who wants to learn, regardless of the social or economical status. I’d like my children to have an opportunity to study by such an innovative system.
Scholarship information request
To: Mr. Rosenstock. Our family has recently relocated from California to Georgia. There is a program called the Hope Schools of Excellence and we really feel that getting our 2 kids enrolled would be very beneficial to their future. In their brochure it states "To assure success in our efforts we have established a collaboration with High Tech Learning Schools in San Diego, CA. The price of tuition is prohibiting us from being able to take advantage of it at this time. Do you know of any scholarships that would be available? Our children are in 7th and 9th grades. The schools here in Georgia start August 10th, we surely appreciate any suggestions or information that you can provide. Thank you. Joan
