I'll give you another example. We came up with this idea because we were grappling with these problems.
What's the one time the school is a community? It's during morning announcements. We came up with a “question of the day” idea, which would be largely political, multiple-choice, and would enable the home rooms to compete with each other. What we found out is that in many schools they don't have announcements anymore because kids don't listen. They're just posted on the boards.
There's a real problem. It's not just the curriculum; they're doing their own thing.
