Yeah, I'm not understanding the "willing participant" aspect of the whole program because, kids who ditch school aren't going to be participating in anything that would moderate where they are at all times during the school day. How exactly would that be effective?

While this might just be an experimental period of seeing if this method is worthy of being used, I still don't like the idea being placed into action without saying that they are willing to deal with these kids one-on-one with their problems. Forcing kids to go isn't going to solve anything, and it just might make matters worse or do nothing at all but just ensure they stay in school, which is only half of the battle.
