This came in the latest Mustang Newsletter. What exactly are they saying here and WHO decides this ?
Do they also explain to them how a monarchy created the school they are in...completely ignoring the input of people on placement of the school and in the end- even need for the school when facts arose that showed something completely contradictory to what had been 'sold'
Do they also teach tem how to divide and conquer- using neighbor vs neighbor for a few long term board members could get what they wanted ?
This would be a hell of a curriculum if they covered ALL that goes on here.
Metea Valley has been name as one of Illinois Democracy Schools
Illinois Democracy Schools are accredited secondary schools that provide students with authentic experiences in the rights, responsibilities, and tensions inherent in living in a constitutional democracy. These schools consciously promote civic engagement by all students, have an intentional focus on fostering participatory citizenship and place an emphasis on helping students understand how the fundamental ideals and principles of our democratic society relate to important current problems, opportunities and controversies.
Illinois Democracy Schools collaborate with parents, students and their communities in developing a civic mission and in providing curricular and extra-curricular civic learning experiences for all students. They engage their students in a continual process of improving and increasing civic learning. Evidence of these characteristics can be found in students’ classrooms and formal learning opportunities, in their interactions with school governance structures, and in the opportunities for civic growth provided through service learning and extra-curricular activities
