Visit his blog, Educated Quest Juno And The Restless VirginsSince I wrote a novel based around sex education, I've tried to pay attention to other books and movies that do the same. I reviewed Tom Perrotta's The Abstinence Teacher, which I thoroughly enjoyed. This time, I'm reviewing Juno, a movie I enjoyed so much I saw it twice, the... Should TV Bring Back Room 222?Every profession could use a good TV show to help it flourish in tough times. With No Child Left Behind, maybe teachers need one more than ever.
I've heard most of the arguments on why this happens: pay, working conditions, job satisfaction, bureaucracy, lost tenure, ad infinitum. If you're reading this... The Rutgers 1000 Is Baaaack!I have lived in New Jersey practically all of my life.
