Jack and the Giant School
From: New Rules Project
Jack and the Giant...School? How does this children's story relate to schools? Author Stacy Mitchell speaks on the trend towards larger schools and how this model negatively affects students. She looks at levels of achievement, sense of belonging, attendance/dropout rates, and other variables. She argues that advocating for smaller schools is the best method for maximizing the effectiveness of a student's education. She offers examples of small schools in different state districts as alternative models for future districts to follow.
