Out Of Time : A History Of Public School Education In Philadelphia
Posted July 19th, 2007 by GretjenProduced by student videomakers in Scribe Video Center’s 2003 Documentary History Project for Youth
The 2004 Documentary History Project for Youth students worked diligently to span three centuries of history exploring the evolution of public education in Philadelphia. From early private Quaker establishments to the birth of the common school system a century later, right up to today's charter schools and the present-day schools contracted to the often controversial Edison Schools Inc., Philadelphia's eyebrow-raising educational periods are presented with humor and insight, all under the umbrella of the video's time traveling protagonist.
