Since this video was produced in 2000, Benjamin Franklin Middle School principal Tony Bencivenga has retired; he is now a professor of education at William Paterson University. Tony Orsini has been principal for several years, and the school continues to expand its programs in social and emotional learning.
BFMS is a stupid school with poor judgment and teachers that think they are your parents.
I think social/emotional educational efforts are great for adolescent learning. I work with kids every day and preech to them that their peer responsibility is their most significant. It enhances their ability to solve conflicts and creates a greater degree of respect for one another.
Oh, and whomever posted the comment, "BFMS is a stupid school........" might want to remember that schools are made of brick and mortar, not functional cells. Thus, they do not think and have no ability to be stupid. And, they must have never heard the term "in loco parentis."
