A Jim Crow era one-room schoolhouse for Black children in St. Johns County near St. Augustine.
I recently ran across this vintage photo of a one-room schoolhouse in Florida (St. John’s County) for Black children. My mind immediately flashed to my deceased parents who often told stories of walking barefoot to their one-room schoolhouse in the Piney Woods of Jefferson County near Tallahassee.
Then I thought of Gainesville For All’s ongoing effort to open a high-quality early learning center at Metcalfe Elementary School that would serve mostly poor and Black children who live nearby. I was saddened. ....

Since the Jim Crow days of my parents’ youth notable gains were made, including those by my baby boomer generation.

As teacher-educators who have spent years working in high need schools, parents of former public school children, and volunteers who work with the Guardian ad Litem program and Gainesville For All early learning center team, we have several concerns about the potential of this innovation.
First, public education is a government service designed to improve society and contribute to the common good. It is important to ask how the micro schools model accomplishes these aims. How does this model contribute to equity, unity and civility in the broader community? ....
