When the three o’clock bell rings, another school day is over and stu- dents prepare for their evening ac- tivities. Some students go to work, others meet in groups to spend the time together, but some students go home after school. There they find an entirely different atmosphere from the one at school. Students be- come members of a family unit with responsibilities to themselves and their family members. They are not handed a ‘code of conduct’. Suspen- sions and expulsions become “get- ting grounded”. Homework is de- fined as doing chores and helping around the house. In the family atmosphere, stu- dents are allowed to get more indi- vidual attention from their parents in a family of four, five, or six as compared to a classroom of around thirty students. Students find more time to themselves at home, where they can sit in the den and watch television, shoot a game of pool, or just relax on their bed and unwind from the tension of academic life. The closeness of the family provides security for students as they pre- pare for graduation and enter into the adult world. A good book, a quiet atmosphere, and a messy room help Ginney Weikel relax.
