Historically the students who follow the rules and uphold the laws get good grades in school and are successful in the classroom. How does that translate into life? I know that those students are the ones who don't need much help, but the students who break the rules and are unable to keep with the laws need much more help.
Central is an alternative school. A place where students can receive a second chance. Do I think this is total bull shit, a little. Whenever we dumb down a group we sell that group short. We should demand more from those students who have struggled. Generally in my experience, mischief and trouble come when the learner is bored. I can only say that we need every student so engaged and focused that the option to fail isn't even a possibility.
Not to sound like I'm standing on a soup box, but we need to teach lessons in school. Get students to think about life in a holistic way. What is each student interested in...that riddle will open the door to truly intrinsic learning. Find where themotivation is and bridge that with the content.
Whoever said learning ever stops...
