My Webster's dictionary defines the word "underground" as something secret or hidden. In Emotional Growth/Therapeutic Schools and Programs, this term is used to describe behaviors the students try to hide from adults. It means the students might pretend to obey the rules, but as soon as they are out of the sight of staff, they revert to their own rules, which might consist of forbidden behaviors. This might include drinking alcohol or ingesting drugs, smoking, hazing or any of a number of activities that are not approved of by "The Establishment." In a school or program with a somewhat weak structure, the students can easily believe the administration is not serious about enforcing the rules. It is almost like an unspoken game of cat and mouse, that is, the students' understanding of reality is these activities really are ok, so long as they don't get caught.
