Green Dot

Yesterday M passed along this powerful story about a public school in LA and an organization called GreenDot that specializes in revitalizing urban schools. It's a pretty powerful story, offering a perspective on school politics and the teacher's union that make me appreciate what I deal with at my school (privately run and independently owned - no school board, no teacher's union). Of course it only tells the story from one side and the resistance the teacher's union and the teacher's showed to GreenDot makes me wonder what was not being told.

Regardless, it's a fascinating listen.
