Never Under Estimate

Alternative education starts out surprising you everyday then evolves to the point where nothing surprises you! Fights are very common among the students that have poor conflict resolution skills. This week we had a young man that accidentally knocked the books of another student off a desk onto the floor in our shop class. When the student started to pick up the books for the owner the owner of the books demanded that he pick up the books! Of course at this point the first student would have no part of being ordered to pick up the books. The following day the student that had knocked off the books was in the lunch room having his lunch. The second student had orchestrated a gang type response, to attack this student while he was in the lunch room. The plan was so advanced that it involved kids that did not have lunch at that time of day and they pulled it off. The plan involved a diversion to get the A/P out of the lunch room to give the other 3 a chance to execute their plan. If only they would use this effort in a positive manner. Never under estimate !!

  1. Scott,

    I think that all the time. The kids will devise an entire plan on how to do something they shouldn't be doing without getting caught. I so wish they would put that much effort into my classwork and tests. Kids are smart but they don't use it for their advantage to be better people.
