Students sent to AIM Q Alternative Instructional Manage ment Systemj were excluded from the rest of the studen body for up to 10 days, usually three days, in a room with ni windows, the old weight room behind the Industrial Art room. They were kept busy the entire time working oi assignments their teachers had sent. They received help from Coach Sam Harp, AIM supervi sor, if needed. Most students didn't require help from me,' said Coach Harp, but I helped them the best I could. They had to work a solid three days. There was no free time. AIM enabled the students to stay in school and keep uj with their Work. According to Assistant Principal Steve Barriger, 140 of the 185 students suspended this year went tc AIM. A plus for the program, he said, was that it kept the students off the streets and allowed them to get credit foi their work. Repeat offenders found the program especially rough. I had to write the entire Constitution of the United States the second time I went, said sophomore Destry Sharp. I didn'1 like it too well. Coach Harp had students copy the Constitution because repeaters had infringed on other people's rights, he said. Maybe if they learned more about rights, they might be less apt to come out there.
