This is not what Oklahoma alternative schools are supposed to be, continued

Tulsa's "boot camp" has been covered in depth by the Tulsa World -- six articles, an editorial, and an editorial cartoon this week. Click the title of this article to go to the World's education news index page.

The Tulsa school board is supposed to address these issues on Monday night. I believe you can watch it from the comfort of your own home, if your home is in Tulsa and you have cable. Look at those local channels you mostly ignore and you should find it...get out the popcorn...you may need it to throw at your television...

I absolutely agree with you ...this is not what Oklahoma Alt. Schools are supposed to be...and more than that...it is not what the majority are. I had the good favor of being part of the Oklahoma Alternative Educator's Association conference and learning a lot about alt. ed in Oklahoma. And what I know is that Alternative Learning Academies that adhere to the 17 criterial of best practice adopted by the State Legislator are not what TAC is. For more on my observations and learning about AE in Oklahoma go to my blog www.alternativeteaching.blogspot.com.
