Luka is only 18 months old, but living in LA you learn you have to think about school very early. The situation is scary, with public schools in a bad shape, especially in some areas (like ours). We support public schools, but I cannot send Luka to just any school. So I started looking... We know we will probably have to move in a few years to be close to a school we like, even for a charter school, because I do not want to spend hours commuting (I spend too much time in traffic as is).
As I find info about some schools, I will post it here. For today, here is a link to High Tech High, a number of charter schools in San Diego which have a very interesting and novel approach to schooling - no sit down lectures, all learning is through projects and hands on work. And no books, for all reference materials they have - computers (of course). That is exactly a type of school I would like Luka to go to. Maybe in a few years they will have one of those in LA?
