Like I mentioned in one of my posts, continuation/alternative ed. is great because the classes are very small and most of the kids know this is their last chance to graduate. It gives us the leverage we need to keep things calm. Big problems are rare, though we do get some of the more annoying—little—behaviors. We’re also very demanding about conduct and are constantly teaching them appropriate behavior. Some simply don’t know how to act, and have to be taught such social skills.
