Nope.

In the best of all possible worlds: Capitalist publishers will ignore their largest market and continue to publish LEGITIMATE history.

    The kids are attentive, receptive, and responsive - and the Q&A sessions following each performance demonstrate that they've paid attention to the play, and are interested in theater. It's been a delightful experience - and has confirmed the basic premise of your comment: "... most students are smarter than they get credit for..."
