Reflections of an Alternative School Administrator.
McGee, Jay
Phi Delta Kappan, v82 n8 p588-91 Apr 2001
An administrator of an Indiana alternative high school constantly battles negative public attitudes toward alternative schools. Schools or programs seeking to serve the variety of youths and families in today's society should not be separated out as "alternatives." Ensuring that all individuals have opportunities to succeed is a necessity, not an alternative. (MLH)
