New Directions
""If you could be anything in the world, what would it be?" Questions such as this, designed to jumpstart your career thinking, can be printed out and answered. In the top right-hand corner, you’ll find a link to DragonSlayer: a role-playing game that introduces a variety of jobs (albeit medieval ones.) Your mission is to find the fierce dragon who has oppressed the villagers of Usurper for the past 200 years, and put an end to the dragon’s evil reign. Before you start your mission, roam the village and meet the townsfolk to acquaint yourself with their work. Some of them can help you fight the dragon."

Mrs. Billman’s Cool Beans Room

Movie Mom
"Nell Minow is Movie Mom, and she awards check marks for artistic merit. One check means "Really awful, almost impossible to sit through or particularly offensive" while five checks is "One of the all-time greats -- don’t miss it!" In addition to her merit rating, Movie Mom offers a suggested minimum viewing age and evaluates the movie in five areas of parental concern: Profanity, Nudity/Sexual References, Alcohol/Drug Abuse, Violence/Scariness, and Tolerance/Diversity Issues. More great clicks are Movie Mom’s "Thoughts on TV and Videos for Foster Parents" and "Guide to Family Movie Watching.""
