Answer to Question 1

 Because educational programs are an important part of social development and have therapeutic as well as instructional value, they are an essential part of most treatment programs.
 What takes place through education is related to all other aspects of the institutional programwork activities, cottage life, recreation, and clinical services.
 Educational programs are probably the best-staffed programs in training schools, but even at their best, most are inadequate.
 Training programs must contend with myriad problems. Many of the youths coming into these institutions are mentally challenged, have learning disabilities, and are far behind their grade levels in basic academics.
 Institutions should allow the inmates to attend a school in the community or offer programs that lead to a high school diploma or GED certificate.
 Secure institutions, because of their large size, are more likely than group homes or day treatment centers to offer programs such as remedial reading, physical education, and tutoring.
 Vocational programs also play a vital role in the treatment of juvenile offenders in secure institutions.
 Recreational activity is also an important way to help relieve adolescent aggression, as evidenced by the many programs that focus on recreation as the primary treatment technique.
 Student responses will vary.
