[quote=Anonymous]18:26 here, sure there were some warts that got edited out, I am completely sure there were many more fights and altercations that were left on the editing floor. But it's hard to fake that sustained level of commitment and caring the staff showed to their students. I had never heard of colleges that will send staff to high schools/college fairs and accept kids on the spot. It was huge for kids though who found the whole process very daunting given the other challenges in their lives. I thought it was very telling that of the 30 kids who were eligible to graduate they all went to college. Given that the school had about 200-250 kids that means there were another 20-30 kids more who fell by the wayside to truancy and/or flunking out. Many of those kids were getting into third tier colleges (probably some UDC grads in there) but it's telling that only the kids capable of pursuing higher education were the only ones capable of finishing school.
