The difference with school communities, just looking at a normal mainstream school community, what I perceive is a community where there's lots of external goals. You've got five stickers for being great. You've got three they call them smiley faces or they have a name for something. So there's an external reward for being good. For me, it's just like, "Eh-eh." It's such a fundamentally wrong thing in a community to have that as your basis of if you're good or bad.
