Subject: Re: Question: Magazine Challenge

Ms. Schaffner is quite correct.    "Teaching Tolerance ... It is free to
all teachers. It has wonderful material on how to teach children about
racial equality, religious tolerance and acceptance of various family
configurations. It is produced by the Southern Poverty Law Center which
has an outstanding history of helping to stop hate violence "  .....Not only
does the Southern Law Poverty Center produce this publication, but they have
many other outstanding resouces such as videos and materials free to
libraries.  Check it out!

> Hello,

> Our middle school students seem to really enjoy the Playaways, but
> they are very expensive to purchase and require constant upkeep with
> replacement of a batteries and ear buds on a regular basis.   I was
> seeking information on how other schools manage this collection in
> terms of budget constraints and purchase allotment.  Thanks for your
> help!
