Did you catch John Merrow's report last night on PBS on the revolution underway at Gompers and Keiller Middle Schools in San Diego? You can watch it here.
One of those rare examples where people took the pressure created by NCLB and ran with it.
I spent a great deal of time at these two schools in the last few years. You can read the dispatch here.
(Disclosure: Former San Diego Superintendent Alan Bersin, whose leadership team worked very hard behind the scenes to help the teachers and parents at the schools to understand their options, is a DFER board member.)
