Your Teens and Their Schools
by Harry Johnson

9th June 2006 , Many students who, for one reason or another, are not succeeding in regular public schools are being sent to alternative placements. In general, students are referred to alternative schools and programs if they are at risk of education failure, as indicated by poor grades, truancy, disruptive behavior, suspension, pregnancy, or similar factors associated with early withdrawal from school.

Hanging out after school ... Kids felt they should be allowed much more freedom once they were in high school. To some extent, they have been allowed it. By 9th grade, they could get around on their own, and they had activities they wanted to do with friends, like playing basketball and skateboarding. I think socializing is as important as homework, so it is OK with me, as long as they are home by 6, but they have to tell their parents where they are going to be, or leave a message if there are last-minute plans.

“Private schools are elitist.”
”Private schools are for kids from rich families’ only.”
”There's terrible pressure on private students to perform academically.”

Now let's get busy debunking these widely held views.
