This article seems to endorse the Baltimore Free School quite a bit. And though it does not include any sources, it does offer a list of the current classes they offer. It also briefly explains why this school can be beneficial to those that have already graduated from college. It also offers links through out the story which is helpful.

Though this article is a bit dated it gives a brief look into the new Baltimore Free School concept. I would have like to see some sources in the article that showed how individuals feel about this new and innovative idea. It does give insight into why there was a need for this type of school in Baltimore, which I can appreciate.

This brief article revisits many of the ideas found in other articles about the Baltimore Free School. The article does offer the schools location, plans and objectives. The writer seems to support this idea, encouraging readers to check it out.

I enjoyed this article because it cites the actual creators of The Baltimore Free School. We get the facts on why they felt a need for this school, what the objectives are, and how they have gone about creating them. This article was very informative and allowed me to gain a greater perspective on this school.

I enjoyed reading this story but I would have like to see quotes from students in the Baltimore area and how they are adjusting from the changes in the school system.

This story took a wide spread problem in Baltimore and examined it on a more personal level by including a family that is forced to deal with it. I enjoyed reading this story and I feel that it educated me on a serious issue that is quite relevant.

This story seems incomplete. There is a lack of sources which make the story questionable for me.

This story has a lot of potential. The topic is quite interesting but I think the broad focus did not work well. If the story focused on one inmate and then told the background of the program it might make it more interesting.

I think if this story included more sources it could be improved. Some of the wording is very biased which caused a problem for me.

I enjoyed that this story did not just recall Schaefer's life but it focused on the personal encounters Ettlin had. The story is more effective this way. Though both of the encounters are brief and a bit awkward it still gives the reader insight into Schaefer's personality.

This article could be improved by bringing in at least two sources one from a professional point of view would be helpful.

This story gives a good picture of how serious things are in Japan by linking it to people that are located here in Maryland.
