The San Diego Children's Museum is kicking out its public school, replacing the kids with La Jolla Country Day students

"When I read that director Rachel Teagle doesn't want a "Dora the Explorer" atmosphere at the Children's Museum, I wondered if she was using code to express her dislike of having a permanent group of kids underfoot. Why not make the school part of the exhibit, Ms. Teagle? I remember that the buses at the San Diego Zoo used to stop in front of my Roosevelt Junior High School physical education classes, and point out that the highest fences in the zoo were constructed to keep us teenagers on the other side. Perhaps the museum guide could ask visitors to contemplate the negative space of the classrooms, and the positive impact on the community of educated minds."
