What makes community schools a good idea?

1.Community schools are a good idea because they take into account students and not just schools. Where traditional public schools have tried to educate students only in the classroom and as far as the curriculum goes community school students have been taught and mentored by instructors who care about them as a whole and what their life is like in and out of the classroom. They ask questions and want to get to know the student and what their life is like currently. If they see a student that appears to be having a problem they ask about it and do not just go on teaching.
2. Accountability is a key reason why this reform seems so alluring. Many public schools in large urban areas are known to be centers of disruption with overcrowded classrooms, a poor curriculum in some cases, and teachers who have little or no qualifications to instruct at all. In these schools which are now a private model students are taught to respect teachers and handle themselves in an adult manner. That involves not disrupting class or starting problems with others.
3. These students are expected to act like adults especially when it comes to tinteracting with those successful businessmen and women who participate in their work-study program giving students jobs and a step up in the job market for the future.
