My students attend an urban high school in a city where the entertainment business reigns supreme. But they are not the children of the industry players; they are the offspring of custodians and service workers. They are bright, hard-working, and curious about the world around them. Many of them are honors students who go on to well-regarded universities. Many of them are involved in sports or clubs. They have joined the newspaper staff because it allows them to develop a degree of autonomy not found in other classes. Not only do they develop their writing and speaking skills, they develop sound judgment and ability to work as a team -- skills that will serve them well later in life.
