BOB MOYLAN was thinking about Punishment and keyed into cyberspace:
BM> AG> The problem is provision of alternative shools. No one wants to
BM> AG> fund them, run them, or have them located near where they live.
BM> Locally, (not universal across the US) the city I live in and the
BM> surrounding ones have alternative programs - funding built into the
BM> annual budget.
My wife teaches in an evening alternative high school. She had twelve 
seniors, and twelve graduates. First time that happened in the history 
of the program.
BM> AG> Incidentally I was appointed as a school govenor today -
BM> AG> unopposed - two vacancies, only one candidate.
BM> Okay are congratulations or sympathetic noises in order?
BM> What is a "school govenor"?  Above, below, in between a headmaster
BM>or  what?
If a "school governor" is what I think it is, akin to a school district 
trustee, then copious amounts of sympathy are in order.
I did it for three years. While the job is best one in the world, it is 
also the most thankless one. And the pay stinks.
