Too bad for PPS. Schools like LEP will soon be the norm. The old traditional high school is such a manifest failure that change must come and must come soon. But PPS is too hide-bound to figure out a way to keep LEP open. They lack the imagination to  put their power and money behind a working experiment. Instead of being in the vanguard of high school innovation, PPS will stay in the rear ranks. They will lose bragging rights for what could have been a jewel in the city's education system.So much for innovation in education. I guess it is OK only for the rich and powerful.
