Students assigned to ISS are often there for fighting, smoking or drug possession. The system effectively isolates the student from his peers and requires periods of study and thought. Miss Angle believes that there are no “problem children”, as such, but rather children with problems. She stated there is often a lack of communication, especially with these young people.

This is not only true with the troubled child but with aU young people, according to the speaker. Some of the older people in our society have had experience with modern history and have been part of it History will have some meaning to youngsters if they talk to someone who has been through the great depression, World War H, and some of the other periods of crisis in the world in recent times.
