The basic premise is that since these underprivileged and repeatedly criminalized students become trapped in the "bad student" identity that their school pegs them in, an after-school youth media program helps them re-invent a new identity for themselves while getting their voices heard through the projects they make. If you haven't already read some of them, i think you'd really enjoy Pedro Noguera's writings. In my Youth Media class, we read:<br><br>Noguera, P. (2003). Schools, Prisons, and Social Implications of Punishment: Rethinking Disciplinary Practices. Theory Into Practice , 42 (4).
