Boston invites public to reimagine high schools

The Boston Globe reports:

The nation’s first high school opened in Boston in 1821, and now, nearly two centuries later, the city has launched an effort to reinvent high school for the future.

Think about High Tech High, a cluster of San Diego schools where the high ceilings and funky splashes of color make it look more like offices of a cutting-edge startup than classrooms. Or it could be Pensole, a footwear design academy with a “learn by doing curriculum” that gives students a taste what it would take to create the next Air Jordans.

Imagine a world without government schools.
