@Chris_J_Currie Seriously though, what is the role of academics and research in addressing social problems? And teachers? #NorCanRuralEd

@Chris_J_Currie This is happening Chris. The VS was founded for rural places.#NorCanRuralEd

@shannonchatt There is a difference between split classes, one room schools and multigrade teaching. The latter is deliberate.#NorCanRuralEd
