Below is a list of the 21 high schools visited by Jonathan in Fall 2008 as part of his “Good High School Project.” At each school (with one exception), Jonathan spent an entire school day shadowing a student, usually an 11th grader, and, as he shadowed, “live-blogged” the visit, writing contemporaneously (and without editing!) his observations. Note that in keeping with live-blog convention, the posts read in reverse chronological order, with each new entry headed by the time it was posted. Hence for most schools, you begin reading the last entry for the day.
