Brooklyn and Singapore – in search or where schools work

From Marielle Westlund I received the following two links I wish to pass on. One from a very interesting sounding school in Brooklyn, New York. I hope it works as well as it sounds. It is, of course, hard to know just form a website. One must trust second hand information, but I find visiting a school is not always as uplifting as reading about it. Sorry, but true. I hope this is a great place, however. Read about the Brooklyn Free School here.

Marielle also sent a link to the Singapore government. The school system in Singapore has made dramatic improvements that also seem to go hand in hand with the mental health of its citizens. Here’s a link to the government page. Same case here – who knows without seeing and visiting, but we seem to have been hearing positive things about the schools in Singapore from several sources.
