- 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.
