	The School
		In fact, as Illinois politicians continue to debate the wisdom of allowing schools to experiment with educational approaches, the Math and Science Academy could be looked to as the first state-supported "charter school." Gov. Jim Edgar called for similar "charters" with 12 schools throughout the state.
		Illinois is one of 10 states that has residential public institutions for kids talented in math and science, but it is the only state with a three- instead of two-year program.
		She says the academy was directed by the legislature to develop an exemplary educational environment for students whose talents may not have been met in the public schools because, typically, there are so few of them.

	A Vision of Science Education in the 21st Century:
		Redesign curricula to present "science" not as an isolated an distinct sphere of activity but rather as an integral part of educational experiences, one that bears on broad questions of concern to all and that is in turn influenced by other approaches to such questions.
		Recognizing science as a process of the continual collective rewriting of stories requires instead, as I think appropriate, that the "players" be continually wrestling with the justifications (or lack thereof) both for the institution of playing and for the consequences of their own doing so.
		Science as collectively "getting it less wrong" thus raises the intriguing possibility of thinking of science itself as a moral system, one which has, by virtue not only of its products but also of its own character, a substantive role to play in the ongoing evolution of the human story of meaning and purpose.
