For those of you yearning to get a good look at some writing done by, what may or may not be, a more culturally and economically diverse group of youths, I would advise you to check out "Do the Write Thing" - a publication free of charge issued by the US Department of Justice, Office for Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention (I know, it's the feds and all ) ; it's filled with a heavy dose of reality. I doubt it' s even government propaganda. It's a compilation of essays done by students, touching on a number of great subjects. (I thought it might be interesting for some of you higher ed teachers out there...) Dan
