We teach our (adult) students individually (ISP) and in the classroom. They need to be approached as normal human beings, and education is a way for them to bridge the huge gap between 'indoors' and 'outdoors'. It gives them hope that there is life behind those "bars", and prompts them to channel their energy into becoming better human beings. After all, this is what education is all about. I've worked with adults most of my teaching time, but this one experience is really a challenge for me. I love it.

Interesting and quite risky!
