Book Description
The book addresses issues in meeting the educational needs of disruptive students. In the introduction, R. Sarri examines the rise of alternative schools and discusses common elements in their design and operation. D. Sabatino follows with "Issues and Concerns: Problems with Alternative Schools," in which he examines the particular difficulties involved in evaluating alternative programs. Four alternative programs are described in depth: Learning Center II, a program administered jointly by the local education agency and the Washington State Juvenile Rehabilitation Division; Bellefaire School (Cleveland, Ohio), an integrated program of group living, education, and psychotherapy; Longfellow Education Center (Minneapolis, Minnesota), designed for multiply handicapped students with severe emotional disturbances; and Special People Realizing Individual New Goals (Atlanta, Georgia), an approach to teaching survival skills to senior high disturbed students. Brief overview descriptions of 12 additional alternative programs are presented: SAIL Project (Student Advocates Inspire Learning) in Minnetonka, MN; the Starr Commonwealth Schools Alternative Education Program (Van Wert, OH); Delta County Education Center (Gladstone, MI); Chana High School (Auburn, CA); Wallbridge Academy (Grand Rapids, MI); Horizons High School (Wyoming, MI); Kansas City Youth Diversion Project (Kansas City, MO); LIFE Center (Albuquerque, NM); Alternative Program (State College, PA); William Smith High School (Aurora, CO); Partners School (Denver, CO); and Project CITE (Crisis Intervention Techniques for Education) in Terrell, TX.

Book Description
Located in a rapidly-growing county in the southeastern United States, Peachtree Alternative School is a dumping ground for chronically disruptive students that regular teachers can no longer handle. The school has some of the toughest kids that society has to offer: kids who have dealt drugs, attempted rape, brought weapons to school, and made terrorist threats. Neglect, understaffing, and overcrowding create a volatile situation; Teachers survive threats, assaults, brawls, and rampages with their therapeutic philosophies barely intact. The Forgotten Room is a teacher survival story. It examines the darker side of American education through chronicling the course of Peachtree Alternative School's tenth and final year. It offers a glimmer of hope in the safe zones created by hardworking teachers, but it is also a cautionary tale about the consequences of bureaucrats neglecting troubled teens. Hollowell's multidisciplinary book provides a rare look at public alternative schooling in America. This gritty and compelling ethnography is part of a growing movement in academia to make ethnographic studies more accessible. It exposes punitive school policy, demonstrates the prison-industrial complex, and reveals school board corruption. In addition, it pinpoints quality teaching of chronically disruptive youth. As ethnographic nonfiction, The Forgotten Room breaks down the walls between social science and literature.
