- Chapter six of Wageners book "the Global Achievement Gap", he writes about the network of charter schools in Sandiego, California. The charter school were called High Tech High. the school has been recognized because of their great turn out rate of student achievement.
A thing that set HIgh Tech High apart from other palces was the fact that they did not use textbooks as a way to learn things they used more projects and made it so the kids went out and found the information on their own.
High Tech HIgh also wanted to increase the number of students doing well in math and enginerring because in most schools they aer the two areas we fall most behind in.
The schools of High Tech Hih wanted to prepare their students for the outside world that they are going to have to face after they gradute from high school.
I feel like this school is taking us a step closer to reforming are schools and making them moer about teaching the kids and less about the adults
