摘要:Striking banners hang from the fa.ade of an urban environment public high school in my
neighborhood displaying an assemblage of laudable goals for its graduates. Each banner is
dedicated to specific personal attributes that would more than likely be deemed appropriate
by most passers-by who took the time to read the inscriptions. One in particular piqued my
interest because it bore the words ¡°socially just.¡± Interested in learning more about the
school¡¯s vision for its students, I searched online for its web site and found the Jones College
Prep Mission Statement and ¡°Profile of the Ideal Graduate.¡± These documents describe the
type of individual the school aspires to develop, a graduate who would manifest or be on the
way to actualizing the following list of attributes: socially-skilled and mature,
compassionate, well-rounded and holistic, intellectually competent, and of particular
relevance to this discussion, socially just and responsible.
