Holly M-

I TEACH at an inner-city school! Hollywood High School is a facility built for 1800 students that has 3000 students. My kids live in the hood, but their minds live on MTV. In a world where kids have $200 sneakers, a cell phone is a minor expense. Secondly, I'm not sure what you consider disruptive. One of my professors at Pepperdine likes to say, "Be practically unreasonable." That's what I want to be. The public school system has not done such a great job in the past few years, so it's time for new ideas. I always want to be a subversive force, pushing the envelope. I want my kids to see that somebody is willing to go out on a limb for them.
