Unofficial Survey - School for struggling grade 7s and 8s
1/12/2010 at 12:49 PM
In todays Brandon Sun it was reported that The Brandon School Division is requesting $200,000 to start a off site school for those grade 7 and 8 students who struggle in the confines of the current system. They want to put it just upstairs from the off campas high school and make it more structured so that students cannot come and go as they please. Well in grade 7 and 8 they need parents permission to leave the school grounds so how is this any different and maybe a rigid structure is part of the problem. I wonder if they have done any indepth studties on the effectiveness of this approach.
Just wondering what others think of this budget request.
