I can’t think of a better lesson for your students to carry with them from high school. Kudos to you for shaping your classroom to push them, challenge them in this way–to give them this gift. This is a terrific post, Annie.

As to “Say Yes to the Dress,” I often think half the brides do not even look that good in the dress which the sales associates *push* them into. The business is an absolute marketing scandal. I love that you are doing this your way. :)
