Re: Your thoughts on Hampton Brown's INSIDE

Sounds like you've got some "INSIDE" information about this one.
LOL I'll see what our rep can tell us about it. Sometimes they
pilot new programs in a few schools before it becomes available to
everyone. Anyway, from your description it sounds good. You're at
grades 6-8, right? Is it intended only for middle school, or do
you think it would be appropriate for high school (and/or upper
elementary) as well?
