LeBron James school that was considered an experiment is showing promise
It's great to see this. The only issue I have is how replicable this formula is.<p>I think you can apply a couple of programs and concepts on a large scale to whole communities, but this is a very expensive school with a lot of resources behind it, not to mention a very powerful celebrity endorser who has a lot to lose if this school fails.<p>There is a small private school that just opened up in my area (about 4 years old). It has a powerful businessman who is the founder. Class sizes are less than 10 kids with two teachers per class. That's about a  5:1 ratio, most public schools would kill for anything better close to 10:1 with most academic classes are 20-30 students for one teacher.<p>This small private school also has a lot of amenities, like a ton of tech for the students.<p>While this is a great school, it's just a place for elites to educate their students.<p>I applaud everyone in this private school and Lebron's school.<p>I hope we can use some of their ideas and programs to a larger scale.
