Are Inner-city public boarding schools the answer to education woes?
The SEED School in Washington and its' founders, Eric Adler and Rajiv Vinnakota, think so ![]()
Founded in 1998 by Eric Adler, 39, and Rajiv Vinnakota, 32, two former management consultants, SEED - its formal name is the Schools for Educational Evolution and Development - is a charter school, which means it receives public funds but operates independently of the school system. Tuition is free for its 310 male and female students in Grades 7 through 12. It is perhaps one of the most innovative and expensive experiments in educating low-income students.
Kids live at SEED from Sunday evening to Friday afternoon and go home most weekends |
