Hi everyone,

How timely!  Last night I saw The Ron Clark Story, starring Matthew
Perry as an idealistic teacher from a rural upbringing who goes to New
York City where he turns around a group of challenging students.  It's a
true story.  Ron Clark's Essential 55 Rules for the Classroom has been a
best seller.  This fall, evidently a Ron Clark school was opened
someplace in the south I believe.  (Anyone know more about this?)

I know you asked about a book David - perhaps this 2006 made for TV
movie was a book - I'm not sure.  But I am going to go and get 55 Rules.

Marie Cora

Hi Wendy and others,

Just to clarify, the book is to inspire the _teachers_ of classes of  
challenging young adults.
