Tell us a little about yourself.
I am currently enrolled in the AEC alternative education program in Brainerd, I joined the school last March/April(2007) with 22.5 credits, but now I am on track to graduate in time at the end of this year :). In my free time I like to play guitar and listen to heavy metal music, I also enjoy this thing called the internet that everyone talks about. I went to the spring conference this year (2008) and I got 6th place in Human Relations.
Why are you interested in Students Speak Out?
I was introduced to it at the MAAP STARS fall conference and I think that it sounds like a cool program.

HI Andy, How are you?

We are collecting stories from students about their experience with ALC.

There is a contest going on to win a camcorder for those with the most participation.

If you join the alternative group you'll see that a bunch of students have shared their stories. Would you be willing to share yours and ask your friends at school to share theirs too? We are doing this help change the outlook on ALCs and to keep ALCs around....so we need all the stories we can get. Just click on the Start Discussion Plus sign on the Alternative group page.

We are also making videos to add to YouTube... would you be interested in sharing your story there?

Hi Andy,
I just tallied up the topic totals and I found that 63 students chose #1 which was, "students determine what standards they think are most important to have in order to graduate from high school"

More students chose this topic over any other. Why do suppose this was? What are your thoughts?

I will be posting the totals for the other topics on the Alt forum.
