Position Papers
What's Great About El Segundo Schools and What We Could Do to Make Them Even Better
El Segundo has a wonderful school district. There is a commitment to educating not only the mind, but also the body and soul. There are other things that the District might consider to make it even better.
Why No Child Left Behind is Great in Concept but Misses the Mark in Practice
Everyone can agree that we want our children to be successful and well-educated, but the No Child Left Behind Act, no matter how well intentioned, has expectations that even high performing districts will eventually have trouble achieving.
How Children Learn Best
Research has shown us how to optimize learning for children. It is what we should strive for to benefit all students, within the limits of funding and district structure.
