Everyone deserves the opportunity to discover the transformative power of a good education. Our high schools are not providing those opportunities. But they could. Susan Engel, a developmental psychologist and Samuel Levin, a doctoral student in biology tell the story of the first student-run high school in the US, which Sam started when he was in high school himself. They argue that student-run high schools are the simplest, most powerful way to transform education in this country, and they outline how others can do the same thing. Mother and son also co-authored a book, "A School of Our Own: The Story of the First Student-Run High School in America and a new vision for Education."
