So probably all of you good folk had better things to do today (Thanksgivukkah) than listen to the radio, but I heard this segment cumulatively 0.8 times today on NPR when cooking and various other household things (BTW, thank goodness generally for NPR!). But the reason I only heard it 0.8 times, even though I heard parts of it twice, was because the gist became clear pretty quickly and once having understood that it both made me hopeful for the future and also very depressed that it is not more widely available yet--i.e., education geared toward the individual. Which I think is a goal desired by many on this board--and is also purportedly an objective of the 'flipped classroom' model--but I think is also understood by realists to be mostly a distant dream. Anyway, here is a link to the podcast, in case anyone else is doing something besides shopping on Black Friday and wishes to be inspired and/or depressed as well....

Happy Thanksgiving anyway!

Books have been around for a while.

Sorry...I should have explained more specifically. In the part I heard they were focusing more on a particular school called Carpe Diem-Meridian in Indianapolis that does the whole flipped thing and apparently uses an online curriculum called Edgenuity. (about halfway through the linked story above). I wonder if anyone on this board knows about that school? Or Edgenuity? We might be in a position to relocate for DD's school in a year or two and Indianapolis would be a possibility--it seems like a stretch to relocate just for a school unless it was guaranteed to be awesome, but this one does sound it.
