    About this ebook

    Driving down the alley between the Continuous Learning Center
    (CLC) and the Laundromat, I was filled with excitement and trepidation. I
    wondered if my twelve years of experience had prepared me for the challenges
    of working at an alternative school? Would these high school inner city kids
    accept a middle class teacher with an elementary school background? Well
    whatever the outcome, I knew that my destiny was here.
    I first walked down the halls of CLC 14 years earlier. As a part of my
    training for an undergraduate degree in special education, I was required to
    observe emotionally handicapped and socially maladjusted students at this
    inner city school.
