Special Attributes
Greensborough College is one of the few schools around the area which has enough students to offer a wide variety of subjects and extra curricular activities, but is still small enough so that the teachers actually know the students well.
Greensborough is also unique in the fact that it has the discipline based 'silent room'. It is the final step of the WSAD (Whole School Approach to Discipline). A student who is acting in a way that the school rules sees unfit is sent to the silent room, which is located close to the front office. They are required to spend the rest of the 50 or 100 minute period inside the room, remaining silent but also completing the work they were originally required to do. The room is in place to allow misbehaving students to calm down and to also remove them from the working environment that they are disrupting.

Famous quotes containing the words special and/or attributes:
“It is surely a matter of common observation that a man who knows no one thing intimately has no views worth hearing on things in general. The farmer philosophizes in terms of crops, soils, markets, and implements, the mechanic generalizes his experiences of wood and iron, the seaman reaches similar conclusions by his own special road; and if the scholar keeps pace with these it must be by an equally virile productivity.”
—Charles Horton Cooley (1864–1929)
“Why does not the kitten betray some of the attributes common to the adult puss? A puppy is but a dog, plus high spirits, and minus common sense. We never hear our friends say they love puppies, but cannot bear dogs. A kitten is a thing apart; and many people who lack the discriminating enthusiasm for cats, who regard these beautiful beasts with aversion and mistrust, are won over easily, and cajoled out of their prejudices, by the deceitful wiles of kittenhood.”
—Agnes Repplier (1858–1950)
