Chartwell School: An International Educational model

I was visiting Chartwell School at their Science Fair that all students participate in and that was recently constructed a few years ago in Fort Ord, California. I noticed that 15 members of the Chinese Ministry of Education were visiting. I asked someone about this and they said, "Oh. The Chinese are interested in building about 10,000 or 15,000 schools exactly like this one in China. At the time I was pretty amazed. Because I knew at that time that both the State and National award winning green school and their methods of education are the best ones yet developed  on Earth and that was why China had sent 15 members of their Ministry of Education here to copy this school 10,000 to 15,000 times in China with everything from the recycled wood used in the construction to the solar plant that supplies all power for the school including pumping water slowly by trickle into a water tank so all the water was there for gravity feed to all the water needs of the school, to the system of education which is designed to teach not only the average kid but including special needs kids(like dyslexia etc.) IN this way (unlike public schools) no one's needs are left out and you actually DO educate 100% of your kids to "Be All That They Can BE" with no one left out. So you don't leave to hang out to dry about 40% of your kids who don't get educated properly in most public schools in the U.S. and around the world.

If the U.S. and Europe and other western nations want to compete at all with China, they must learn what China has: Chartwell here in California in the U.S. from the ground up is simply the best way to teach 100% of kids everywhere yet designed on earth. (This includes a completely solar powered school with built with recycled materials as much as possible).
