PSA: Don't be Stupid
Hey folks,
Don’t drink and drive. From 6pm New Year’s Eve to 6am New Year’s Day you can call 1-800-222-4357 and get towed by AAA to wherever you want. It’s free and you don’t need to be a AAA member to use this service. Don’t be stupid.

“It’s Okay to be Neither,” By Melissa Bollow Tempel
Alie arrived at our 1st-grade classroom wearing a sweatshirt with a hood. I asked her to take off her hood, and she refused. I thought she was just being difficult and ignored it. After breakfast we got in line for art, and I noticed that she still had not removed her hood. When we arrived at the art room, I...

Standardized Tests for Adults? →
This is very interesting, and very telling. I wonder how I’d do on a CSAP if I took it again now, given that I did pretty well six years ago when I took it the first time.

Hard Questions about Bullying →
I don’t always agree with her about youth issues; I think she falls victim to not looking in the mirror (as she addresses in her last paragraph here] but this is a very powerful message, and one that should be spread and shared with anyone working with teens.
