(2007-07-07) Schank Health Sciences Launch

Roger Schank's group is launching their full-year (10th grade?) HealthSciences program, seeking students/schools. Candidates would be those who are too smart for the school system and need something to keep them interested, those who are so tired of school that they were going to Drop Out anyway, or anyone who has a passion for learning about health sciences... While the stated subject matter is health sciences, students are learning, on a daily basis, to communicate with each other, to work in teams, to write effectively, to reason about scientific and ethical issues, and to understand how the real workaday world actually operates. There is business math in the Curriculum but no Algebra or Geome Try. There is plenty of science and plenty of reasoning about social issues. It is writing intensive. HealthCare Vo-Tech?
