Will try and get something going for second semester here - July start (if not before). Perhaps we could link our classes so they can compare notes as to how they are going when we get this off the ground. Noel's offering support. <em>Jenny Luca's last blog post..<a href='http://jennylu.wordpress.com/2008/03/06/skype-to-the-rescue/' rel="nofollow">Skype to the rescue.</a></em> Hi Clay,

It's the difference between a required English course where the discussions go flat and a class where the students build off of each other to reach a bigger goal. I hope we can work something out like this at Punahou.

It feels like a dead end: they're conditioned, they're choosing, traditional 20th century education. The kids who "can't"? I don't know what you mean for sure. But I want to enable those who can. I want to pull. It's an elective class. I really see it as similar to the "talented and gifted" - or simply "advanced" - courses for writers and artists. I can't draw, to extend that analogy, to save my life. But I'm glad there are advanced classes for those students who want to, and can.

I don't mean to take anything away from that (it's certainly needed), but what about the kids who aren't/can't? That class sounds great for students already doing those things.
