Interesting...
You might want to look closer at this one. The brochure we've seen uses pictures from
Randall Caba's school in Oregon. Draw your own conclusions.
We do have some first hand experience with Randall's program and would
recommend him. We also like Randall's book: Neon principals.
I believe David Svenson has taken over Lee's place at a school in San Francisco.
I can't remeber exactly where, but I'll look into it.
