WAYS TO IMPROVE EDUCATION
- ABC Focus on Solutions story KIPP Success Spawns New High School. ABC News recently reported about KIPP Charter Schools in their nightly news program. It was impressive to see well-behaved, respectful children who are eager to learn. The teachers were motivated and creative in their teaching approach. Thinking outside the box was the norm in these schools. Their school day is longer and parents are required to be involved. This alternative to the standard public schools seems to be very successful.
