InsideOut — bringing a dose of dropout reality to a school near you?
We've written before about InsideOut, a program of the Mattie C. Stewart Foundation that attempts to bring at-risk students (and those who work with at-risk students) face-to-face with the reality of life without a high school diploma.
One of those realities is prison. Certainly, not every dropout is a prisoner — but a vast majority of prisoners are dropouts.
Cleveland's Leon Bibb recently caught up with the program for NewsNet5.com, and he reports that it certainly appears to have had an impact on some students in the Cleveland Metropolitan School District.
"You know what the results of ignorance is," said documentary creator Shelley Stewart. "All you have to do is just look into the prisons; look at the crime rate."
