Welcome!

Thank you for checking out our classroom blog! This class consists of juvenile offenders between the ages of twelve and seventeen. Students are incarcerated at the Jasper County Detention Center for different amounts of time, so the classroom is always changing. I created this blog to encourage communication between students and the teacher. This classroom believes that the choices we make dictate the lives we live. There may be consequences for our actions but there are always second chances. Responsibility is a huge factor in our classroom. We place much emphasis on learning to be responsible in the following areas: personal responsibility, at-home responsibility, community responsibility, and global responsibility. Responsibility leads to true happiness.

"The test of tolerance comes when we are in a majority; the test of courage comes when we are in a minority." -Ralph W. Sockman D.D.
