When loud profanity, arguments, gang threats and near-fights signaled to me that my high school class of hard-core gangbangers would not sit still for the "Cornell Method of Note-Taking" or even the California State Curriculum Framework for English/Language Arts, I had to make the decision that a radically different educational route had to be taken to calm them down and instill some degree of learning purpose in them. Despite their arrogance, it was their ignorance that told me what they really needed and wanted to know. As before, with my "Juvenile Crime Words to Know" lesson, most of the class did not know ninety-percent of the following official conditions of their probation. Yet they all admitted that at some previous time in their arrest/incarceration/probation cycle, they had received this set of probation conditions and signed their names, as required to acknowledge receipt, on special forms. What was the "secret" for sparking their interest in learning? I had to find something they needed to know. As all of them had court appearances looming in the near future, I had little difficulty in convincing them that they needed to know this to "stay-in-jail-or-go-home" knowledge. I persuaded them that no matter what they were incarcerated for, these conditions would be the "Verse and chorus of the song the judge is going to sing to you at your hearing. And for you who have never been on probation before, you better listen hard, with both ears. Because when you are charged with violating your probation, it is these conditions that they're talking about."
