Considering the profile of the students in the school (some resume i must say..lol!), I'm of the opion that what they need is definitely not lessons in Algebra, Grammar, Coordinates, Physics etc... The Theme-based knowlegde experience could be the most appropriate...Maybe, just maybe, selecting a series of theme may be the most appropriate means to yank these kids off their current "societally" challenged path. Like you made mention in your earlier posts, these kids are not exactly "academically" challenged, they are simply control "impaired"(and I dont mean to sound demeaning) and definitely have their own rules (and to borrow your words "themes") they live by, probably an education system/curriculum that steers this particular type of facilities or govt. program could be the first-case approach in intervening. Just a thot anyway...!Gbolade Shoyemihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16687317319336518970noreply@blogger.com
