Hints at Deeper Issue


Although on the surface this story is about solving a budget problem, I also appreciated hearing the deeper tension that faces many teachers. Teach to the book or teach the true subject?
While the administrator is concerned that time spent raising money-saving crayfish takes away from book time, the teacher knows that real-life experiences are worth it.
The children's voices are fun and the production is tight.
I like this story because it leaves room for the listener to continue thinking.
