I hate to say it, but it's almost like Cook County Jail. If you get in trouble one time, you'll get in trouble again. Most students raise their hands. When asked if he's ever tried drugs, Alnurridin lists the drugs he experimented with, but says that he no longer uses any of them. I want to be in control of me.
Students appreciate such frankness.
Facilitators have experience in education and social services. It also aims to keep students away from drugs and gangs. Often, students leave class with a homework assignment. Priscilla, an 8th-grader, says she has better control of her temper. I won't give teachers an attitude anymore.
