This year we have had our first taste of JBHM. Here we are calling it PBJ--
it is full of nuts and hard to swallow! Our district DEMANDS that we use the
new "PBJ" in our English I and II classes. The program is very poorly
organized (very hard to teach) and filled with mechanical and grammatical
errors. When we complained to our consultant (also the author) about the
mistakes she said that it was just a draft copy. For this our district paid
$36K? Are any more of you on the new English II program?
