Hope in Chicago.
Pool, Carolyn R.; Hawk, Momma
Educational Leadership, v54 n7 p33-36 Apr 1997
Chicago's Recovering the Gifted Child Academy is a small, grant-maintained middle school serving 45 disadvantaged, underachieving urban students. Led by Corla Hawkings, the school has extended class hours, Saturday classes, and a business-like ambience. It features business dress, time cards, paychecks with school money, student-run businesses, and business partnerships. Few of its graduates drop out of high school. (MLH)
