   Extractions: "T he ninth-grade student was a show stopper. Half of her head was shaved, and the other half was freaked out in a bold explosion of hair, bells, and ribbons. She had three gold studs in her nose and was wearing at least a dozen earrings that jingled like wind chimes when she moved. In her own distinctive way she was a beautiful young girl. I asked her why she had left her former high school to travel across town to a small alternative program. She thought for amoment then explained, 'At my other school everyone treated me like a geek; everybody thought I was kind of weird. Over here...it's like, I just disappeared into this really happy family..." Hope at Last for At-Risk Youth S tudents attending the nation's estimated 15,000 alternative schools come in all sorts of colorful packages. More than a few adopt hairstyles, wardrobes, street language, and attitudes that would make them stand out—or be kicked out—of mainstream classrooms. But what's most remarkable about this diverse student body isn't outward appearances. It's that these students, many of whom face obstacles ranging from poverty to teen pregnancy to long-term academic failure to chronic delinquency, are making an appearance in school at all. A growing body of research and years of anecdotal evidence show that students who have been labeled failures, troublemakers, or dropouts in traditional schools can thrive in smaller, more individualized settings. That may sound like plain common sense to any teacher who has worked to pull a struggling student back from the brink. It's especially timely news, however, as communities across the country wrestle with the staggering social and economic costs associated with undereducated youth. After years of operating on the margins of public education, alternative schools are getting a serious look from many different interest groups: proponents of school reform, corrections workers overwhelmed by juvenile caseloads, and employers concerned about finding enough educated young people to fill tomorrow's workplaces.

If one in eight Ford Tauruses failed to operate, Taurus would quickly lose its reputation for quality and its popularity with the public. According to tenets of Total Quality Management, if Ford tried to focus blame on individual workers rather than improve systemwide quality, the problem would most likely persist, public and stockholder confidence would deteriorate, and the company might soon be bankrupt. One in eight students does not complete high school. Minorities, the poor, and the disabled often fare worse. Over 50 percent of students in a quarter of the nation's poor, urban high schools fail to graduate. Suspension, expulsion, retention, chronic failure, and alienation all contribute to unacceptable dropout and incompletion rates. Yet rather than take a systems approach to improvement, many states have created alternative schools for the "problem" individuals thought to degrade general education quality. Alternative schools evolved decades ago to provide an academic option for students not successful in regular education programs

   Extractions: In the first Indigo book, we supplied suggestions regarding two existing worldwide alternate schooling systems for the Indigo children. This page not only identifies each of them, but gives you many, many more from other sources. By "alternate," we meant an alternative choice from existing systems that are in-place but failing to see the changing needs of the new children. Not all public schools are poor for Indigos, and we have actually seen tremendous changes of awareness in isolated (usually smaller) schools due to an advanced thinking superintendent, or a system which allows the teachers great flexibility. We celebrate these efforts, but alas, this is not the norm. We told you that ultimately we'd like to have a list of schools all over the world, listed by country and city. This web page is a start to that, providing a way to view expanded or NEW information, NOW. This is where YOU come in. If you feel there are some existing systems that we should have included, or you have information about wonderful Indigo-type schools in your city, go ahead and Email us. If your suggestion is viable, then we will include it on this web site. The list of schools from readership is the last section on this page

   Extractions: OLYMPIA - A California educator waved handcuffs at the House Education Committee on Monday to symbolize the liberating effect of charter schools. Others countered that traditional schools could do just as well if unshackled from so many regulations. Meanwhile, a freshman Vancouver lawmaker relatively new to the issue sat quietly in the audience and took notes notable because legislators rarely attend hearings held by committees they aren't on. But Rep. Deb Wallace, a Democrat, said she wanted to know more about charter schools, an idea that may clear the Legislature this year after a decade of trying. "I've generally not been supportive of charter schools because of the potential diversion of money from our existing public schools," Wallace said. But she acknowledged hearing "compelling arguments" for charter schools at Monday's hearing.

12. Introduction, Public Alternative Schools And Programs For Students At Risk Of Ed
    For instance, the state of washington expanded its number of alternative schools from 44 in the mid 1970s to more than 180 in 1995, and Oregon law now  
    http://nces.ed.gov/surveys/frss/publications/2002004/2.asp
    
    Extractions: Previous Research Little is known about the overall current state of public alternative education across the nation. Although estimates vary, data indicate that the number of alternative schools increased during the 1990s. For example, according to the National Center for Education Statistics (NCES) Common Core of Data (CCD), in the school year 1993–94, there were 2,606 public alternative schools, compared to 3,850 public alternative schools in 1997–98 (Hoffman 2001). Note that these findings did not include alternative programs located within regular schools.11 The National Alternative High School Youth Risk Behavior Survey (Grunbaum et al. 1999) found that in 1998–99 there were 1,390 alternative high schools serving approximately 280,000 students at risk of education failure (2 percent of all high school students). Individual states appear to be stepping up the provision of alternative education for students that are not meeting public school expectations. For instance, the state of Washington expanded its number of alternative schools from 44 in the mid- 1970s to more than 180 in 1995, and Oregon law now requires that districts provide alternative education to students who are not succeeding in regular schools (Boss 1998). In 2000, a Michigan statewide study revealed that 5 percent of all high school students were enrolled in the state’s 360 alternative education programs, most of which serve at-risk students (Michigan Alternative Education Study Project 2000).

    http://eduserv.hscer.washington.edu/bioethics/topics/compl.html
    
    Extractions: E THICS IN M EDICINE Join our Discussion Forum Write Us Search this Site T he term complementary medicine (also alternative medicine and integrative medicine) is applied to a broad range of therapies that are not commonly taught in medical schools or utilized by the medical profession. Since anything outside mainstream medicine is alternative to it, the spectrum of alternative medicine spreads over a confusingly wide area. At one end are fully professionalized systems of practice that operate schools, publish journals and textbooks, have local, state, and national organizations, and subscribe to codes of ethical practice (chiropractic and naturopathy are examples). Across the middle regions are any number of methods (aromatherapy, for example, or iridology) at a less systematized stage of development. There are also different versions of faith healing, Christian Science being the most extensive. Finally, at the darker end are the misguided notions and purely moneymaking schemes better classified as quackery, even though their proponents wave the complementary banner. How extensively used is complementary medicine?

    Extractions: Seattle Times staff reporter E-mail this article Print this article Search archive The Seattle School District's alternative schools continue to be a popular first or second choice for parents and students, according to a district report on next fall's school assignments. Letters informing students of their school assignments were sent to their families in the past few weeks. Overall, the percentage of Seattle Public Schools students granted their first- or second-choice school this year was 87 percent, down from 90 percent last year and from 92 percent five years ago. About half the students on middle-school waiting lists want to enroll in an alternative school, and first-choice requests for alternative schools surged among elementary students living in the district's South and Southeast areas. The percentage of students in the Southeast cluster who chose and were assigned to alternative schools rose from 9.4 percent to 12.9 percent. One top choice, The New School at South Shore in the Rainier Beach neighborhood, has a waiting list of 127 students for pre-kindergarten, kindergarten and first grade, even though the school's future there is uncertain.
