Where the angry ones can play
Article Abstract:
The Mulberry Bush School, an independent special residential school near Witney, England, works therapeutically with emotionally retarded children aged five-12. Almost all its pupils have been excluded from mainstream education because of their extremely disruptive behaviour, but the Mulberry Bush School believes that they have the potential to become happy, normal children. The teachers attempt to understand why a child is behaving in a certain way, and work hard to foster a sense of self-worth.

Key school ballot creates bitter divisions
Article Abstract:
Parents at the 1,200-pupil comprehensive Blatchington Mill School, Hove, East Sussex, England voted on whether to opt out of local authority control after a petition demanded a ballot. The school would get increased revenue in the first year and gain total control of its budget if it became grant-maintained. Many parents felt there was insufficient time for discussion and formed the Concerned Over Opting Out group. Most teachers were against opting out.
