These hybrid schools are blowing up the public education model

Let’s all be friends

barrSteve Barr, founder of Green Dot Public Schools, which operates charter schools in California and New York, is a nationally known figure in the charter school movement. His takeover of Locke High School in Los Angeles was recently profiled in The New Yorker magazine. Barr’s schools are different from a lot charter schools for two reasons: they are unionized, and in a couple of cases Green Dot has taken over entire public schools, with all of their enrollment, and converted them to smaller schools. In some ways, this makes the Green Dot model a political compromise, though few would call Barr a compromiser (see New Yorker profile above).

    I’ve been looking for this precise information on this topic for a long time.  Bookmarked and recommended!

  2. Very few studies have been done so far on whether acupuncture has the ability to help with the fertility of men. Of course, there is some evidence that has come up that suggest that acupuncture and fertility of men can be linked together. The best part about it is that acupuncture could actually increase the amount of fertility in a man without causing them to have any kind of behavioral side affects or causing increased sexual desire. Doctors do think that acupuncture does lead to an increase in the number of sperm count found in the body. They also said that this could even help improve very slight structural defects. So why doesn’t everyone jump on board this acupuncture band wagon? Why aren’t all lower sperm count men out there looking into this? This has something to do with the other methods that are out there.
