ILC Little do you know what lies behind that solid door. As it opens, your eyes quickly scan the entire room, but nothing grabs your attention. A closer look re- veals en- closing, drab walls, no win- dows and cold fluorescent light. You are ushered to one of twenty solitary carrolls that boast a view of the blank, discolored wall. This is your domain from 7:45 AM to 3:00 PM for a one, three, or five day habitude. You live there, you work there, you eat lunch there, you exist there. For seven hours you work on assignments from teachers. You have no other com- munication whatsoever, save that of the constant hum of the lights. You are constantly monitored. Your be- havior, your aca- d e m I c progress, your every movement is scrutin- ized by a silent, grim-faced teacher who never wants to see you again. During that long, arduous, boring, seven-hour period you decide that nothing is worth the ex- perience you found behind the closed door. It was a dismal day when you visited the Isolated Learning Center. Suzy Nickels ATTENDANCE Hometown: Springfield Education: Clark Technical College | Degree: Associate in Pupil Personne: Tech.
