to follow up - _if_ american schools are failing - then one certainly
does need to look outside of the micro school system into the macro
systems of american socio-political-economics.
Pete mentioned the enormous needs for resources for those schools
attempting to serve the working class and poor populations - these
resources are the very same that the wealthier social populations would
never deny themselves.
still, i am not heeding Mike's comments to refocus on Leontiev.
