Zero Alternative

Zero Alternative or Zero Alt is: Someone who is Everything but Nothing at all.
"An alternate subcategory that consists of combining multiple or all other subcategories, due to confusion or liking multiple alternative subcategories."
It's basically someone who can't fit into one category, and they feel like their being pulled in different directions because they can't put their finger on what they are or want to be. It's taking two or more things and mixing them together to make a better thing that fits, like a Cocktail.
"Anyone know what Zero Alternative is?"
"Uh, Yea I do."
"What is it?"
"It's when someone has more than one Alternative Subcategory or can't fit into just one."
"Oh, okay. It sounds kinda interesting."

New Dominion Alternative Center

A center for educating middle grades (6 - 8) students in Virginia who have had difficulty succeeding in a traditional school. Smaller classes, more tolerant teachers, social skills instruction, and an alternative method of working with kids are all parts of the alternative program.

The goal of the school is to re-teach the students and help them learn to participate in the more-structured atmosphere of a traditional school. Helping them learn to become active participants in their own education is a primary goal. Reducing the frequency of unacceptable behaviors is another goal.
New Dominion Alternative Center is a mini-school that provides alternative education.
