...disagreement is also between students who are living there temporarily for the summer, who tend to be in favor of meat, and those who live there all year, who mostly wish the co-op to remain vegetarian, Charbonneau said...
...discovered that remembering names is not a strong point of mine. I tend to lump vaguely familiar faces into broad mental categories which have titles like "people who seem as if they may be named James." This inadequacy in my memory was a persistent problem during the past school year when I taught a class of fifth graders non-violent conflict resolution skills with the organization Peace Games, Inc.

...problem with both books is that they tend to rely on an oversimplified view of boys and their caretakers. On the whole, do we really see boys, as both claim, as toxic?

Five songs he co-wrote and co-produced are currently on the Billboard Top 100 singles chart. His best recent work includes Usher's sleek album My Way, whose songs were almost all co-written and co-produced by Dupri, and the female vocal group Xscape's CD Traces of My Lipstick, which features several elegantly funky Dupri-penned songs...
