From time-to-time, members of the MLA staff offer considered responses to educational issues of current interest. Theses responses appear below and in our brochure in an attempt by the Morgantown Learning Academy (MLA) administration to compile responses in some centralized format. It is expected that this page and the brochure will be expanded occasionally as new "answers" are generated. Thus, the thinking presented, like most thinking, is constantly evolving. This is presented as a summary of the current thinking that underpins the existence and function of the school. Hopefully, the reader will possess a clearer understanding of MLA's unique approach to issues considered by the school as critical. Happy reading and thinking. For a copy of the brochure, contact the MLA Secretary at mla@learningacademy.org.
