The Lebron James school is great for the kids who get to attend. I am sure of that.
But, I find it interesting that so many overlook it’s dependence on a celebrity savior and shortcomings of addressing the charter school contentions contributing to the disparities in so many thousands of disctricts nationwide.
We need to repeatable dignified education systems.
I know little about the school, but I would be hard to convince they would do worse.
I think just going to a school where there is a sense of positivity and opportunity is in itself useful, but without resources, it may not be. This school, as far as I know, will have greater resources.
The staff, assuming they are being paid well and given access to more resources, will absolutely do a better job.
I am really not a fan of the school, and fear it’s largely a tax write-off and publicity stunt, but knowing how bad a lot of these marginalized populations have it in public school, I just can’t imagine it being worse.
I would argue dignified is necessary for effectiveness. Are you suggesting that educational environments that are undignified might motivate desperation for achievement? Or some similar bootstrapping theory? If so, I find that immoral even if it were an evidenced theory.
Maybe you’re making some sort of IQ-population argument. If so, I would not accept that we can make that assumption. But, if so, I would nonetheless assert equal schooling resources for every child (which is largely what i mean by “dignified”) is a moral imperative.
