"Sky told me once that when she was in high school, she skipped school and saw Vampire Weekend play. That touched me in my heart, you know? World keeps spinning."

Surprisingly good
A didn't expect much from this teen high school comedy. There are so many and all so similar. This is a bit above average and had a certain feel good vibe about it with some funny scenes. One of the better high school set comedies for a very long time!

A dystopian novel not of the YA variety
I originally read this book because it was part of the Bioethics curriculum that I inherited at a high school I worked at. As I was reading it, I realized it wasn't your average high school blah fest. (That being said, now that I am rereading some of the books assigned in high school, those high school books aren't actually all that bad...it's amazing what reading for pleasure vs. reading for assignments can do) Some parts were like-...what...? and other parts were like WHAT??!??!?!?!??! Definitely kept me interested throughout. Just the right amount of backstory sprinkled throughout to help keep you following but still keep you wondering.

Another film in the teacher goes to the tough school to help out the problem kids. This time with a tough street gang with plenty of members at the local high school. It has some pretty good fight scenes, but overall quite average.
