knsummers Says:

Nov 18, 2008 - monolithic culture, one goal, one path, "kipp"notized, "all children will learn"Unless our definition of learning is adequately diverse this is a frightening monopoly of the childrens' will and freedom.

knsummers Says:

Nov 18, 2008 - We say there is no magic bullet but we hold up college as the cure for what the teachers and administrators see as a sickness to be cured rather than a reaction to an unhealthy society. These schools only treat the symptoms of a larger problem that they rarely acknowledge -- economic inequality, institutionalized racism and social injustice

knsummers Says:

Nov 18, 2008 - If you dig deeper the founding principle of these schools is this --"White is Right" -- where white is the white upper-middle-class power structure.

Nov 18, 2008 - summer:with all the comments, what would you suggest?

knsummers Says:

Nov 18, 2008 - First, the abolition of hierarchical authoritarian models (the ideological state apparatus that grinds students down and interpellates them into wage slaves, obsequious citizens and willing participants in the reproduction of class and race inequality) in favor of schools built on models like Summerhill, Sudbury or Montessori.

knsummers Says:

Nov 18, 2008 - Second, the increase of apprenticeship programs in all areas of the economy including technology, research and medicine. Third, a decreased emphasis of going to college as the "big goal," in favor of becoming a whole, sympathetic, and healthy member of a community.

knsummers Says:

Nov 18, 2008 - If schools are a model of what our society holds dear I would not want to live in the society imagined by the founders of KIPP. Free and democratic schools for a free and democratic society.I would suggest reading the work of Deborah Meier.

Nov 18, 2008 - I just can't believe that anyone can talk bad about Kipp. These people go in to the worst areas, and make it work. You think that is done without being hard. If any other ideas were as good, then maybe one would be successful. Its a free market of ideas. But you back seat complainers are lame lame lame.

Nov 18, 2008 - That's why the schools struggle to empower those who would otherwise not have a chance. It opened my eyes to the possibility of college, you'd be surprised how what I learned in middle school carried me through high school and into college. Knowledge is power.
