The Chicago way: Illinois experiments with having students manage their own education

An interesting “success story†out of Illinois this week, where dismal performance rates in public schools have been a major concern. (A situation which is certainly not unique in the country.) A forward thinking principal was brought in to Proviso East High School in Maywood, Illinois, just west of Chicago, and tasked with trying something new. As this article from the Chicago Tribune explains, the administration really went in a different direction. Students were left to make their own decisions about their education, testing was largely abandoned, credit was given for all manner of activities not involving the school and… nobody ever gets an F. (Emphasis added)
