Chapter 4: Schools as the Workplace for Students and Teachers

Our school is a public school therefore it is structured as one.
There are some differences though

In most Public schools the school board is run by elected officials, but ours also asks for at least 1/3 of the involvement on the school board to be parents of students. The parents attend the schoolboard meetings and have the power to adjust and create policies. Our standing on this was; the parents have kids in the system, as well as help to fund the school through taxes and they should have say in the education of there kids.

The government has standardized testing to regulate teaching, and how well the students are educated. At our school we do not focus on passing these tests, we insted teach the students the material we deem important, this leads to less built up stress about the tests and frequently results in higher test scores.
