Creative Schools - What Are They Doing?

In America, states and the federal government collectively spent billions of dollars on standardized testing. This has been a total waste of money, time and effort. Most countries in the world over the past 20 years have been trying to raise standards in education. There are examples but if you look at a well-known example in California it's a group of schools called High Tech High. All there is project based. They don't have formal bells ringing. It's a lot of its team work, collaborative work. And they do high-level science and technology. Also have good arts programs in the schools just as these other schools I mentioned also have good mathematics and science programs.
