Students who were expelled typically returned to school right away, often to a special campus for students with disciplinary problems. In Anne Arundel this fall, the term will take on a more literal meaning. Two changes in the school system's disciplinary code will leave hundreds of expelled students with no school to attend. Those under age 16, for whom school is compulsory, will be taught at home under a program designed for the sick or disabled. Those 16 and over will be on their own. Expelled students under 16 in Anne Arundel historically have attended one of two special campuses: J. Albert Adams Academy for middle-school students or Mary E. Moss Academy for high schoolers. Older students went to evening high schools.

Back to Contents Faculty Profiles: Chris Dunbar Paints Painful Portrait of Students in Alternative Schools In his new book, Chris Dunbar, Jr. describes a desolate and almost surreal corner of the educational system, a place strewn with damaged young lives where on any given morning a police officer shows up at school intent on arresting a student. If not an arrest, then a fight or some heated confrontation erupts and profanity is so prevalent as to seem normal. All this takes place before 8 a.m. In class, Dunbar writes, the students “sit in front of you with a disgruntled look on their faces that says, ‘I’d rather be somewhere else, or ‘What does this fool want?’ The ‘fool’ they are referring to is, of course, you—the teacher, principal, or any adult that appears to have already passed judgment on who they think you are and what they think you are about.” The scenario Dunbar describes is not some Dickensian poorhouse or orphanage, but the contemporary American alternative school. “The alternative school has been sold as a bill of goods,” says Dunbar, an assistant professor in the Department of Educational Administration. “We’re told that because of its smaller size, the school is going to provide more attention and that students’ individual needs are going to be better met.

HOME SchoolING "When a subject becomes totally obsolete we make it a required course." Peter Drucker A Word About Home-based Learning Terminology by Wendy Priesnitz - What's in a name? Lots, when it comes to describing a phenomenon that's as emotionally and politically charged, not to mention as full of assumptions, as educating kids. Understanding Life Learning by Wendy Priesnitz - Life learning (sometimes called unschooling or self-directed learning) is one of those concepts that is almost easier to define by saying what it isn’t, than what it is. And that’s probably because our own schooled backgrounds have convinced us that learning happens only in a dedicated building on certain days, between certain hours, and managed by a specially trained professional. Challenging Assumptions in Education – From Institutionalized Education to a Learning Society by Wendy Priesnitz - This book excerpt puts self-directed learning into a larger context and describes why unschooling is one of the keys to a more progressive, democratic society.
