 I think that it is

 I think that it is interesting that there are so many ways that education can be defined by including all sorts of alternative schools and styles of teaching. I feel like taking such schools and directly applying them to the public school system would not work at this moment, however. A lot of the schools that promote alternative curriculum also promote ways of thinking about education that dont necessarily mesh with the nationally outlined goals of public education. I certainly would love to experience one of these types of schools and see what they are really all about. I think that maybe if there is a creation of a space in which people are able to get this contact with these forms of education without fully committing to them initially, there would be more chance for understanding and adoption of similar educational styles.
