Conflicts,
eh? ALWAYS fight with your friends? Well not in this school. ALPHA Alternative School is located in Toronto,
Canada. Just like its name, this school is famous for providing alternatives to
not only children but the teachers and parents as well. It was created by
parents, and based on the Ontario government's Hall-Dennis Report. As the usual
school, it has classes and study periods. But, the unique aspect about this
school is that it was started with NO TESTS OR GRADES. How awesome is that right??

Yes, they learn each
day, get together and share opinions. To make it fair, the behavior rules for
this school were created and enforced by students and staff democratically. If
they found anything that is unsettling, they do not break out a fight. Instead,
they create a committee that involves children, teachers and parents to talk
and find solutions for their problems. Here, every voice is considered
valuable. I think that this is definitely a good idea. For me, when people are
given a chance to talk and express what they feel, they will be less aggressive
towards each other.
