  Is that informational or just a slam. While true that there is a perpetual funding crisis for schools in Oregon, MLC operates as an independent entity with smaller class sizes than standard public schools, has a very high graduation and college admission rate. MLC started in 1968 as primary education scholars began to realize that traditional pedagogy sidelined a vast number of students who suffered in the hierarchical lecture-memorization class rooms of the day. Children with intense concentration abilities, learn at a faster pace, or do otherwise do not "fit" in a traditional classroom prove that they have enormous potential waiting to be tapped in the right learning environment. Learning to learn rather than rote memorization.
