Magnet Schools

Connecticut has implemented its educational resources in the development of Magnet schools where each school has a specialized area of concentration. There are approximately 19 such schools
in New Haven County alone and one of the great things about these schools is that the teachers have to be able to teach in a method that gets away from the usual "sit and be still and make "A's""
type teaching to a more hands on and open ended learning capacity depending upon what the student seems to learn by and can progress. The regular public schools are going to remain the same with their limited town budgets, so certain curricular activities will either be nill or voided all together, and the regular subjects will be taught according to what the state's requirements are for what each kid must learn at a particular age in order to make their journey into a college. The "No Child Left Behind" tests set by the government are good I think. Otherwise we would, and have, seen how some states become lack with graduation of children ready for college in order to
get good jobs to support themselves and a family with health insurance coverage. Man, the little first grader has all this on its little head, and like me, 40 years ago that first grader with the
artistic right brained way of learning took a back seat very quickly as soon as I blurted out my first idea other than that of the teachers as to how to play and learn. Oh yes, the magnet schools can provide a great opportunity for children with different learning abilities and talents and stages to grasp whatever they can be taught and still progroess at their own rates and succeed; but now, are we going to get it this generation or not? Will the public school become ones that for the parent who does not get their child on that waiting list for the magnet school the child will not survive the teaching, or will these teachers get a lesson on new teaching methods as well?
Seems like the Magnet schools are getting all the great new teachers, more funding for better facilities and programs etc... Does that mean that the regular public schools will be the "poor" schools? Im just wondering if we are not only switching schools around or are we actually going to make a difference in how our children are learning and what they are learning. Will these Magnet schools just become another closer step to our United states government socializing us because of the funding involved? We will see in another 20 years what actually happens.
I hope I am still alive then to see.
