About This Lesson
Loners, Floaters, Jocks, Preps, Goths, and Geeks. The names may vary, but the story is the same whether you live in a city, a suburb, or a small town. Social hierarchies, and conflicts between individuals and groups, are a bigger part of school life than ever before, at an increasing risk to teens’ safety and self-esteem. How can you prevent your school from becoming the next tragic news headline? In an effort to get "Answers From The Inside," In the Mix spends a day at Fox Lane, a diverse suburban high school that has a number of innovative programs that involve the entire school.
