...small gifts and, more important, the kind of praise on the school loudspeaker too often missing before. Students who participate in sports and extracurricular activities must attend a Saturday school program - and are urged to bring parents along - to keep up in the classroom. All kids must wear their school uniforms and IDs - although, if they meet weekly attendance targets Hankerson sets, they can wear blue jeans on Fridays.
