    I couldn’t even finish watching the dang thing I was so incredulous…it’s a couple of years old (dated 2006) which makes me wonder what’s happened since then…(to this teacher specifically, and to the kids in his classroom)

    Speaking of English/teaching/literary pubs, SLJ just partnered w/The Hip Hop Chronicle, have you reviewed it already elsewhere? If so, would love to repost for Shaping Youth. (prototype here) http://hiphopchronicle.com/HHC_Prototype_all_pages.pdf

    Amy, thanks for the head’s up. I didn’t know the clip was 2 years old. Haven’t checked out The HHC, but I’m about to. ;-)
