In these years of shrinking budgets, I'm beginning to question the wisdom of spending $100+ on the Gale Research series such as CA, TCLC, CLC, NCLC, SATA (middle school), etc. When I first took this job ten years ago, and my budget was twice what it is now, we had standing orders to several of these sources. With budget cuts, etc., I have pared down the standing order but am still questioning my purchases. I still get Contemporary Authors and Contemporary Lit. Crit, but do I spend 1200/year for a few more criticisms that only a very few students care to use? I'd like your thoughts on this. We are a 9-12 school with two junior honors English classes and one AP English. Thanks for your thoughts. Betsy Stine, Danvers, MA, High School bstine@mecn.mass.edu
