These purposes can be accomplished, in part, by reducing the alienation of students through the creation of an environment that is not violent, that acknowledges them and their potential needs, and that provides support for them. These environmental changes are the focus of ALONE NO MORE. Cost: $2.50 for Minnesotans, $4.00 for out-of-state orders (includes shipping and handling), payable to Minnesota Department of Education.
