A very interesting article on Green Schools.

LH, my social studies class was not political. The teacher was dynamic and we had a healthy mix of kids...two of the things I thought were the most fun were debating current social issues and, one semester, we each "played" the stock market, learning how to read the reports in the daily newspaper and make good choices on how to invest our imaginary capital. One thing, for sure, we were not a "me" generation...we learned a lot abou our responsibility for ourselves and our society.
