Welcome to American Public School

This week we are exploring the history of American public schools. You can check out Tuesday's video here. I asked you to focus on the agendas and intentions of those providing or advocating public education as we have for the other education systems we have looked at this semester. Consider the importance of education for a democratic citizenry for example.

Thursday, we will wrap up and review. Our student mentor will lead the class in a special exercise on discernment. We will also work out the details for our final exam. Breakfast will be provided.

Reminders for wrapping up the semester:

• Please check the Campus Portal to confirm that I have given you credit for all of your work and attendance. If you find an error, please let me know immediately.
• You have been sent a link to a course survey for the class. Please complete the mandatory survey so that I can submit a final grade for you.
• The final exam will be a two-part take-home exam, due in TurnItIn via the class Moodle by the end of the scheduled final exam period, Thursday, 12/13, 10:30 a.m. You may complete it any time beforehand once it's posted.
