0 Magnet schools I’d like to see

Our school district is thinking about turning one of our elementary schools into a magnet school. I think it would be great if the district could make a magnet school work, though I do have some questions about the idea. In any event, the news got me thinking about what sort of magnet school “themes” I’d find most appealing. Here are my ideas:

• School’s Not Boring Magnet School
• Humane Lunch Period Magnet School
• Students Have Autonomy Magnet School
• Intrinsic Motivation Magnet School
• Local Control Magnet School
• Free Time Is Important Magnet School
• Think For Yourself Magnet School
• Standardized Tests Are Overrated Magnet School
• No Homework Magnet School
• Democracy and Individual Rights Magnet School
• Question Authority Magnet School

I won’t hold my breath. Most of them are probably illegal.
