The Organic School assumes that children will naturally learn exactly what they need to know, if they are taught in an environment without pressure or regimentation. Our curriculum offers the standard academic studies along with a balance of self-prompted activity and formal work under teacher direction. Naturally, children want and need external discipline, but when the ultimate goal in progressive education is self-discipline, the children learn how to think for themselves. With this comes the ability to develop a basic understanding and love of learning what lasts a lifetime. Our concept can easily be broken down into these simple points: 2. We encourage children to experience the world by trying new tasks and ideas, experimenting and experiencing with all their senses. In Organic Education it is possible - even natural - for a student to challenge assumptions in order to absorb new information. Organic Education asserts that education is life.

A student being sent to an alternative school is not a form of punishment for the child. Instead it is a chance for that student to thrive, while being educated in a different type of learning environment that can meet that child's individual needs. Alternative High Schools Alternative schools can be havens for students who do not feel that the traditional school system is a good fit for them. They can be a way to study a particular discipline in depth, a way to obtain credits at a faster pace and, at times, a way to serve out a disciplinary placement. Description of Alternative Schools Historically, alternative schools were thought to be a program for youth who had behavioral problems, special needs or who needed advanced placement. And until recently, the notion was believable. That's because enrollees at alternative schools often came from from low-income households, had special needs or were from minority and... The Structure of Alternative Schools According to a survey by the College of Education and Human Development of the University of Minnesota, about 10,900 public alternative schools and programs are offered for American students.

Opposition to Standardization Co-optation of the Opposition Co-optation of Manual Training Resistance to Co-optation The Progressive Education Association The Post-Progressive Period Persistent Resistance The Free School Movement Since the Sixties Continuation Schools Vouchers and Charters Conclusion Appendix A: The Politics of Education by Carl Rogers . Appendix B: New Standards TM Performance Standards References Every new idea, every conception of things differing from that authorized by current belief, must have its origin in an individual. New ideas are doubtless always sprouting, but a society governed by custom does not encourage their development. On the contrary, it tends to suppress them, just because they are deviations from what is current. The [person] who looks at things differently from others is in such a community a suspect character; for [him or her] to persist is generally fatal. Even when social censorship of beliefs is not so strict, social conditions may fail to provide the appliances which are requisite if new ideas are to be adequately elaborated; or they may fail to provide any material support and reward to those who entertain them.

Elizabeth Brackett of WTTW, Chicago reports. ELIZABETH BRACKETT: Sitting quietly in class, 16- year-old Amy Allen doesn't look like a troubled teen-ager, but last year Allen was expelled from her Chicago high school after stealing the school watchman's car. She wound up in this alternative school in Chicago, which she now says is the best thing that could have happened to her. AMY ALLEN: If it wasn't here, I really think I would have went a lot farther downhill than uphill 'cause when you come here, it's like the teachers, they motivate you, and they give you, like, better things to think of. And they give you more goals to look at. And they make sure you don't do anything bad, you know? They're like, "you are going to finish high school, go on to college." And you know, that gives you, like, self-esteem. You're like, "hey, I can do it. If she thinks so, then I have to think so." ELIZABETH BRACKETT: The Crawford First high school is one of 12 alternative schools in the Chicago system. Though alternative education once meant a whole range of options to public education, in Illinois it now means public schools for disruptive students who are about to be expelled or Chicago School Board President Gery Chico says it is essential to provide options other than expulsion.
