If you liked this article you might find this one interesting as well. It's about a NYC family who picked up and moved to Russia, where the kids learned in Russian. http://hubski.com/pub?id=19659

Kids learn things regardless of their situation. There was recently an article about kids in Africa learning via tablets, which is mind blowing if you've ever seen the CEO of my company use a computer. I don't know if I would send my kids to this school, but having a different environment and system than the one currently in place can't be all bad. I believe even the weirdest, worst things can offer interesting insights and be applied to make better the schools, or whatever the situation.
