I hope full more FULL schools, filled with MORE than just conservative, authoritarian type programs (which I know some folks, apparently like you, want, so go ahead and keep some space for them for those who want it), that include programs run by anyone and everyone who has experience teaching. Why force all kids into a limited program, when they could have a choice of what kinds of programs meet their needs best? Why not let kids go to an authoritarian math class for an hour with their favorite mainstream teacher, and then next hour they go play with Aurduinos that collect data on garden health with Sprout, and then next hour they create a kinetic walking sculpture to exhibit as science-art in a public park with Parts and Crafts, and then next hour they make a documentary about politics with SCAT, and then next hour they collaborate on a literary journal with Pagan Kennedy, and so on!

Expanding the shools to allow for MORE diversity is good, in my opinion.
