Description: Presents a twelve-week alternative education program stressing discipline and behavior modification through negative reinforcement for unusually unruly and aggressive students. Introduces Kenneth Musko, teacher and developer of the program, who works closely with parents as the program represents a student's last chance to avoid expulsion. Explains that frequent field trips to the county jail and morgue are used to show students the blunt reality of their future if they do not change their attitudes and behaviors. Attempts to interest students in learning and to appreciate the the opportunity they do have by visiting a cavern, a factory, and a home for the mentally retarded. Emphasizes the need to help students avoid institutionalization, to learn responsibility and respect, and to give them one more chance for success.
