Eat your veggies!

Please view this news story from the Philly local news. It is about a small group of kids working to have a farmers' market. The pride and accomplishment on their faces is so evident. This is a good thing in the midst of an ugly place to live.

Damn Capitalists!!! Shouldn't they be smoking crack on the corner so they can learn what the real world is all about?!?!?!

I'll bet they learned those lessons (money management, marketing, etc.) a lot better by hands on work than they would have reading about it in a textbook, too.

Absolutely, Rachel.

It is a great way to sneak in lots of science, too.

I've got to say thanks for this. After my mom and I got done talking about the 5 high school seniors killed in a car crash in her town and the high school girl here killed by her two sixteen year old buddies, I told her about this. We needed a story that didn't suck.

I was really upset by both of those stories. One is just so tragic and to compound it with their friends witnessing the accident. And that poor, poor girl getting murdered. I worry about my kids all the time. I really do think about them all the time during the school year.
