Success for the Unsuccessful.

Taff, Thomas G.

Educational Leadership, v48 n1 p71-72 Sep 1990

The DeLasalle Education Center in Kansas City, Missouri, accepts only students who are confirmed educational failures. The school is private, charges no tuition, and demonstrates that educational programs can succeed when the teacher and the student agree on the learning materials, how they are to be used, and the expected results. The center has a 90 percent success rate. (MLH)
