Q: How do you design a high school course?

A: I think of all the ideals our young people should have.

Then I find the most tenuous connections between these ideals the film Forrest Gump.

Then I put a DVD of Forrest Gump in the DVD Player.

Then I press play.

That's half a semester right there.

I'm still thinking about what to do after mid-terms.

I think there's a lot they can learn from Tango & Cash.
