inner 'ha ha' (here, please hear that obnoxious kid Nelson on the Simpsons) at that sign... sorry if that is petty.

6. I had the same reaction.
If it's petty, it's because I teach in alternative ed. We get kids all the time who were home-schooled and are now in our school trying to get enough credits to graduate.

13. No, it's not for sissies, but it's really not that bad.
I'm lucky to be in an amazing school with the best principal I've ever known. I didn't even know there were principals out there like this guy. He's just plain amazing. Add to that a wonderful, dedicated, closely knit (heh) staff, and you have a great, great school that does good work. I love these people. :)

There are so many kids who don't fit into the usual school mold: independent thinkers, kids with chronic health problems, kids who've lost parents (84% of our student population has lost one or both parents) or who've had a year (or more) from hell and need that extra bit of wiggle room to get them through. We take them in and bend the rules, relax a few things, and meet them where they are to help them graduate--and they do. Now, if only we can meet AYP. *sigh*
