I got offended for a second, and then I realized it is an Alternative school.
I guess its for bad kids.
hehe...
Growing up I thought that the alternative schools were for "bad" kids. For instance, I went to school with a kid, who over the course of two years, got himself expelled from every public school in our system. He was forced to attend alternative school.
But from reading the posts, it would seem that the alternative schools are also for kids who need to "catch up" and get their GED. Even if they aren't "bad" kids. So, who knows.
