This short article that you are about to read has become, without my intending it to be, the most controversial thing I have ever written. It is about a bus trip I took to the Gulf of Mexico, sponsored by my kid's school - with about fifty pre-teens and first-year teenagers on board - as well as three or four parents and teachers... who all made the mistake of sitting in the front of the bus, where they were blind to what was going on behind them. I was the only one who sat in the back, and who had a clear view ahead of everything that was happening.....

It was assumed he was crazy - but I never believed it, not for a moment. And he was the only one who would help me, as I struggled to do my best on "The Gravy Train".

Join me as I return to Seventh Grade for One Day... to help a Science Teacher as she tries to do the impossible: Teach 36 kids each class, all day long. I spent not even one day with this teacher and I know: There must be a special place in heaven for her. Get ready for one wild and funny ride!
