“Requirements for Healthy Development of Adolescent Youth”

I just finished reading "Requirements for Healthy Development of Adolescent Youth." I felt like this article repeated itself over and over. The article states, "Two approaches to recommendations were considered: (1) giving attention individually to each system in which adolescents live and move--educational, family, work, discretionary time, correctional, and governmental; (2) looking at the total picture and thinking in terms of remedial or rectifying programs and research efforts. The second approach was agreed upon, chiefly because each system is so closely related to other systems that any program, to be effective, necessarily would have to involve more than one system." From what I gather, the article is focusing on the facts that we need to focus our attention that we give students where it is needed most, otherwise the students are less likely to develop into well rounded individuals.
