Education in video. ^A1165896
Abstract America's education system is typically inward-looking, and even learning a second language can be seen as controversial. 9/11 was a wake-up call - a stark reminder that the USA isn't isolated from the world. Now there's an impetus to change that attitude. Twenty miles east of New York City, Herrick's School District is a model for change, integrating a global perspective into virtually all subjects and grade levels from elementary to high school. Here 10 year olds learn about global politics and the world trade network. World languages are taught alongside art and 15 year olds debate African economic policy, role-playing being UN delegates.
