Beacon School (Score 1)

Technology is only one aspect of the beacon schools attempts to push the envelope. It has been sanctified and vilified throughout the education community. The confusion about it's public/private status is one of the reasons it gets attacked. It is public but is considered by some to be exclusionary and elitest. (I don't know enough to have an opinion) I have to admit my own assigned readings about the school got the quick skim treatment. Regardless in the education realm they are controversial if not well regarded for their political and philosophical attempts to provide a good education.
