As an education reporter, I have seen the entire gamut of schools — but never in a single day. The way my schedule came together yesterday, I ended up visiting three different campuses, each representing a vastly different picture of the American public school system. Combined, the visits have all the makings of a Dickens novel: one is a gleaming campus experimenting with cutting-edge ideas, another is an island of relative safety surrounded by a deteriorated neighborhood, and the other is a scrappy, middle-class beacon, pushed to excel by a highly involved parent community.
