Rockland has a strong and growing Alternative Education program. Some of the kids have greater needs than others but all are being directed towards their strengths in education. All are being taught to succeed. All are being given experiential opportunities.
Why does a kid have to be "Alternative" in order to qualify for a higher quality of learning experience? When do the family visits to a museum or the hobbies a student might engage in at home begin to count as "real" education? Why doesn't each student have his or her own Individualized Education Plan? Can the mainstream student, and their parents, not be trusted with the direction of his or her life?
