You could view the Mineola school district’s decision to suspend a new video-based teaching program rolled out this fall in eighth-grade classrooms for the teaching of core classes, like math, science, English and social studies as a victory for the democratic process.
The school district initiated a program developed by a private company, which they called “revolutionary.” Parents, teachers, and students strongly objected. A petition gathered more than 580 signatures, thanks in part to the coverage of Schneps Media LI. And the school district has backed down, at least for now.
