Michigan gives high school dropouts a second chance
January 29, 2006
Think about how our culture has been eliminating second chances for people who screw-up in some way shape or form. In Michigan, the prisons are just about full and if you drop-out of high school, there's no GED program to get a diploma.
Jeff Gerritt writes in the Detroit Free Press about the Michigan Challenge Academy in Battle Creek where dropouts needing discipline and structure in their lives are given the opportunity of a lifetime. Sounds like a program that should be affirmed and duplicated.
Does this really work? Any thoughts?
