More on Locke High School

One obvious solution to the countless permanently and criminally dysfunctional schools like Locke all over the country is to give parents alternatives like charter schools and/or shut down schools like Locke and let proven successful charter schools like Green Dot take over -- which, happily, is exactly what ended up happening to Locke.  I covered this extensively on my blog at: http://edreform.blogspot.com/2007/06/locke-high-principal-rips-la-unified_22.html, http://edreform.blogspot.com/2007/06/seceding-from-lausd-lausd-counters.html, http://edreform.blogspot.com/2007/06/inside-view-of-locke-high-school.html, http://edreform.blogspot.com/2007/06/district-blocks-locke-highs-departure.html, http://edreform.blogspot.com/2007/06/la-unified-school-bully.html, http://edreform.blogspot.com/2007/07/maverick-leads-charge-for-charter.html, http://edreform.blogspot.com/2007/07/joe-williams-on-steve-barr.html, http://edreform.blogspot.com/2007/07/watts-riot.html, and http://edreform.blogspot.com/2007/08/plan-to-convert-locke-high-to-charter_31.html
