"There is a natural predilection in American education toward enormity, and it does not serve schools well" - Fowler, 1992


Welcome!

This site is intended to provide teachers, administrators, policy makers, and the general public with information related to school enrolment. Although the information presented is not intended to show a cause and effect relationship, those who view my site are encouraged to form their own opinions as to whether or not such a relationship exists. Thanks for visiting!
