How does mainstream BHS view OFC?

When I was a freshman at BHS, OFC was considered the place where "bad" kids were sent.  No one desired to be in OFC and it was considered somewhat a punishment for bad behavior in school, skipping multiple classes or failing multiple classes on account of incomplete homework assignments and low test grades.  If put in this program, you were removed from all your friends and isolated from regular BHS life. 

In the past couple of years, I have noticed that kids somewhat want to be in the OFC program and purposely don't do their work because OFC is a "fall-back" option. They figure that if they skip classes and don't put effort into their assignments that they'll just be placed in OFC, where the workload is easier and academics are much less stressful overall.

This mentality about OFC is new and many people (like myself) haven't been taken over by the force. I talk to many people who think that OFC is not helping these kids, but simply pushing them though high school with good grades and GPAs. I heard that they don't have to take mid-years or finals, like the entirety of the school has to do.  I have also heard that they get periodic "breaks" in between classes - something that no one else in the high school has.

I'd like to make a possible survey to ask what the regular mainstream BHS thinks about the OFC program.  How effective is it?  Teachers and students will be targeted and it will be simple and brief.

"From what you have heard or facts you know about the OFC program, how much do you think OFC is preparing students for college life or beyond high school?"

a. Not at all
b. Somewhat
c. Fully preparing them for post- high school

OFC - Is it really useful?

Is OFC actually preparing students for the real world? How is life after high school for these students? Do they continue on to a higher degree of learning (college)? Are they capable of obtaining high-paying jobs and professions? What life skills are they being taught, if any? All students seem to graduate with a 4.0 GPA and in recent years, students seem to AIM at being in OFC because of the easy workload and light requirements.  They seem, to somewhat "slip" through the cracks of high school or simply drop out of school all together because of lack focus and motovation.  This program is supposed to help students stay in high school, but it's not properly preparing these kids for college.

I will talk to OFC students, Mr. Poon, Dr. Bob, Guidence Counslers, Deans, OFC teachers, and regular mainstream BHS teachers.

I would like to see SAT scores and MCAS scores from OFC students and compare to regular students.

I would like to see where OFC graduates have attended college and how successful they are in life overall.
