...even worthy) possibility is shocking for a movie that is ostensibly mainstream. In many respects, for that matter, this film is unusual in its refusal to play by the rules of Hollywood filmmaking: demolishing the boundaries between adult problems and adolescent fears, and, most significantly, declining to impose any code of morals over its characters' behavior. This is the first movie I have seen in a long time (well, at least since Go) that makes drug dealing seem like an upwardly mobile profession.

...just $99. And as retailers race to supply customers with Sega's Dreamcast, industry leader Sony will be unveiling more details on its PlayStation II in Tokyo.

A dress policy, says Van Der Laan, must be "parent driven." Only then is a new policy likely to succeed...
Imposition of a dress code or uniform should be one of several changes designed to improve standards in your school, along with those that promote more parental involvement and higher academic standards. Goldman believes that to introduce a new clothing policy "as part of a wider array of policies and practices is probably a very good thing." But he warns that "if done as a supposed quick fix, it is a terrible idea. Nothing is a quick fix in education...
