Behavioral Disorders

What would happen if you threw the teacher's curriculum out the window and empowered 4th through 6th graders to learn at their own pace, focused on their areas of interest and abilities? Imagine trying this with kids the other teachers had given up on. Then mix in some troublemakers, along with some of the bright-but-bored in need of a good challenge. This experiment actually occurred in the 1970s led by a renegade teacher, himself a "damaged" student who had struggled with his own dyslexia before this condition was recognized; and an optimistic school superintendent who was intrigued with the idea of teaching problem solving and life skills instead of facts, figures and formulas. Fast-paced stories of class projects run amok and students facing their inner demons will warm your heart and entertain you. Plus, they may provide food for thought on reaching kids through experiential learning before they lose their love of learning and fall prey to negative peer groups. This unique experiment changed the lives of all involved. It is a story of resiliency and hope as some of the kids struggle to overcome impossible odds, with an ending that will surprise you.
