Chapter 2

The second chapter in Turning Points 2000 is discusses the students recommendations the authors suggest in order to create a student that is well-rounded, a good student and a good citizen. The chapter also talks about about the seven points we need to consider when trying to teach students. Originally, there were eight points to this model. We also learn that the points are not just a list, but a web that is interconnected showing that the web is not complete without one or more of the points. Turning Points 2000 has specific guidelines that the authors feel teachers should review in order to improve middle school education.
