I didn't have any problem with an HMO when I had one, but it sure seemed that "everyone else" hated them. re: medical home team

Can anyone say “HMO”?

I didn’t have any problem with an HMO when I had one, but it sure seemed that “everyone else” hated them.

Instead of punishing students who choose to take the test why don't they REWARD them! How will punishing kids for taking or not taking the test help? There are too many punishments for students and not enough thoughtful approaches to changing youth behavior. How will suspension lead to behavior change - it will more likely marginalize already marginalized youth. Some other consequence that involves engagement would much more to serve students, the school and the community. How about involving the parents of the kids who drink - arent't they the original role models? Just listened to the High School Breathalyzer story.
