Tech Press Gets Wind of Berkeley High Lab Ban

Chris Thompson —  Mon, Dec 28, 2009 at 10:49 AM

Wired editor Chris Anderson read the East Bay Express' piece on the Berkeley High proposal to end science labs, even for AP classes, and redirect the funds toward remedial education. So he did what any self-respecting tech magazine editor would do: he tweeted it. And TechDirt promptly picked up the piece. "It seems like there must be more to this story than what's being reported," writes blogger Mike Masnick. "The concept of cutting science labs because more white students take them just seems too preposterous to make sense." Will this thing go viral? And will the school board finally step back from the brink?

Private schools -- and also neighboring school districts. Watch property values in Berkeley sink while they rise in Piedmont, Albany, etc....

If the Berkeley Unified School District does endorse this idea it will be the single greatest boost private high schools in this area have ever received.
