"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.

Five Views: An Ethnic Historic Site Survey for California MENU Contents Introduction Mexican War Post-Conquest ... World War II Chicano Movement Future Historic Sites Selected References A History of Mexican Americans in California: THE CHICANO MOVEMENT This negative side of the post-World War II Mexican American experience provided background and impetus for the Chicano movement Rising from the turbulent 1960s and drawing on the century-long foundation of Mexican American experience, the Chicano movement has be come a dynamic force for societal change. The movement is not a monolith, but is rather an amalgam of individuals and organizations who share a sense of pride in Mexicanidad, a dedication to enhancement of Chicano culture, mutual identification, a desire to improve the Chicano socio-economic position, and a commitment to making constructive changes in U.S. society. A major focus of contemporary Chicanos has been politics. Political goals have included increasing the number of Chicano candidates, convincing non-Chicano candidates to commit themselves to the needs of the Mexican American community, conducting broad-scale voter registration and community organization drives, working for appointment of more Chicanos in government, and supporting passage of constructive legislation. Some Chicanos have chosen to work through the two major political parties or through theoretically nonpartisan organizations, such as the Mexican-American Political Association. Others have channeled their political efforts through El Partido de la Raza Unida (PRU, United People's Party), which was founded in south Texas by Jose Angel Gutierrez. While Chicanos have not demonstrated political influence commensurate with their growing numbers, the increase in Chicano elected and appointed officials reflects growing Chicano political presence.

50. Alternative High Schools: Models For The Future? This paper deals with the creation of alternative schools to deal with the atrisk student population. In california, 100 charter schools were allowed. http://horizon.unc.edu/projects/HSJ/Knutson.asp

The Future of Secondary Education Alternative High Schools: Models For the Future? Gay G. Knutson Carroll College gknutson@carroll1.cc.edu Abstract A little known movement within public school systems, the creation of alternative schools for at-risk students has been in existence for several years. Alternative high schools have grown nationally in both quality and number. These schools for both existing and potential drop-outs rely heavily on forming learning communities where both teacher and learner are empowered. Innovation and flexibility are usual practice in alternative high schools. These schools and other options should be studied and their key elements identified. Today's problem-plagued standard high schools could use new models for their delivery of educational services to today's youth. They're found in crumbling inner city buildings, in strip malls, in old school buildings and within existing schools. They have optimistic sounding names like Capstone, Crossroads and Learning Enterprise. They have varied financial and educational arrangements. And they are popping up all over the landscape, mainly urban but also suburban and rural. What are they? They are small alternative high schools. The term alternative education was originally construed as an umbrella term covering a range of options in schooling. Presently its meaning has evolved into an understanding of programming for at-risk youth; those who are likely to not finish high school.

San Diego alternative healing schools: pioneers to the future by Catherine Honora Kineavy an Diego is unique in that it is home to many wonderful schools that teach massage along with other holistic health practices. Being interested myself in the healing arts, I decided to investigate some of the local schools. I met with the administrative staff at some schools and attended open houses at others. I would encourage anyone who is interested not only in holistic health education for a career change, but anyone who is interested in healing themselves do the same. After visiting with the schools it became obvious that each had a unique philosophy and focus. In deciding to attend a specific school, it is essential to determine your own educational needs, and whether or not a specific school will be able to meet those needs. The process of deciding which school to attend can be very nerve-wracking, yet it can be very encouraging. After my visits to the local schools, I felt excited about the universe's future. The work being practiced and taught is very much on the cutting edge. I believe all these schools are working to inspire students to achieve their own integrated health of body, mind and soul, and then to go out and facilitate healing in others. By doing this these schools are acting as progenitors to a new era of health practitioners. Through the integration of the traditional disciplines of medicine, philosophy, psychology and religion, these schools are expediting the convergence of Eastern and Western cultures and are advancing our understanding of the cosmos. Their approach is first to teach students to know and heal themselves. By doing this, the students and their clients will begin to understand their connection to the world around them. By being aware of this connection, the healing of the wolrd around us can take place. For example, individuals will see the need to preserve the natural world rather than only exploit it for personal gains.

Consumer News Recalls Complaint Form Scam Alerts ... English Iowa Bars California-Based "Alternative" High School July 19, 2004 An Iowa court has ordered the California Alternative High School of Ventura to stop recruiting students or conducting classes in Iowa. Iowa Attorney General Tom Miller said the privately-owned school may have deceived consumers by claiming that its program would produce the equivalent of a high school program. CAHS Bogus California High School to Pay $500,000 Iowa Bars CAHS Arizona Bars CAHS The school's program reportedly cost about $600 for ten weeks of classes, three hours per week. The Iowa Consumer Protection Division told the court it appeared that the company tended to target lower-income Latino and immigrant populations with representations of college admission upon completion. The filing said it appeared that the company's representations "were deceptive, due to the fact that it appeared that few if any colleges or universities would admit students based upon graduation" from California Alternative High School's unaccredited educational program. The Nebraska Attorney General sued the school earlier and Indiana is investigating it.
