"The Power of & The Fusion of Design and Technology"

The West Bloomfield students
were eager to offer suggestions.
"The teachers in our school give
you the time to work in groups with
students you might not see other-
wise," said llth-grader Candace
Johnson.
Extracurricular activities were
praised as a meeting ground for stu-
dents from diverse backgrounds.
"When you're on a team, [other
students] are not going to be mean
to you because they want to win,"
said Shayla Cowan, a 12th-grade
student.
Nate Hargress, a junior, said he'd
met people through drama club
"that I never thought I'd meet. The
activities in this school helped us
learn that kind of thing."
Senior Michelle Wild said she has
a core group of friends, mostly from
her neighborhood, that she sees on
weekends. But when you're in
school, she said, you usually hang
out with people who are in an activi-
ty with you.
The students also praised their
school's diversity programs, such as
"United We Walk," the yearly
Martin Luther King Jr. peace walk,
along with counseling and peer-
mediation. To end the session,
Johnson led the singing of her origi-
nal song, "One Nation, One Voice."
Israeli schools have "plenty of pro-
grams" to encourage students to get
along, Rolider said. "But, as soon as
they leave mediation, they are fight-
ing again."
In addition to the challenge of
diversity, Rolider said, Israeli schools
have to deal with a lack of concrete
behavior policies and parents who
don't support the schools' efforts at
discipline. And, although he plays it
down, others suggest that the coun-
try's history of frequent military con-
flict is a big factor in aggressive
behavior in schools and families.
Rolider and his colleagues were
impressed with how orderly the West
Bloomfield students seemed. After a
trip to the cafeteria at lunchtime, he
compared it to the "hyperactivity"
he frequently sees in Israeli schools.
"What we see here is more like we
see in an older citizens' home,"
Rolider said.
One of the recommendations he
will make when he returns to Israel
is that the schools establish a disci-
plinary policy similar to West
Bloomfield's, which both students
and parents must sign at the start of
each school year.
