Lakota Consolidated School District was a school district serving Lakota, Iowa. For a number of years in the early 1970's, the Lakota Consolidated School and the neighboring Ledyard Community School District had held some joint elementary classes, an arrangement which was hastily abandoned when it was found to be in violation of existing Iowa law. Meanwhile, the two districts, both among Iowa's smallest, and which had begun discussing the possibility of eventual merger, were informed that such an merger would not be permitted, as the proposed new district would still have fewer than 400 students, then the minimum number required for a newly-merged district.

Education In Winnebago County, Iowa
Education is a purposeful activity directed at achieving certain aims, such as transmitting knowledge or fostering skills and character traits. These aims may include the development of understanding, rationality, kindness, and honesty. Various researchers emphasize the role of critical thinking in order to distinguish education from indoctrination. Some theorists require that education results in an improvement of the student while others prefer a value-neutral definition of the term. In a slightly different sense, education may also refer, not to the process, but to the product of this process: the mental states and dispositions possessed by educated people. Education originated as the transmission of cultural heritage from one generation to the next. Today, educational goals increasingly encompass new ideas such as the liberation of learners, skills needed for modern society, empathy, and complex vocational skills. Types of education are commonly divided into formal ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
