School of Shock Photo Essay

August 20, 2007

Student in the Rotenberc Center school store.

Students use good-behavior points to "buy" goods from this school store. If they're really good, they can also go to the "Big Reward Store," an arcade that is the only place where some are allowed to socialize freely.

LETTERS

"As a long-term energy-field professional, I was glad to see Mother Jones taking a more balanced view than that all can be solved with wind, solar, and conservation. How can we double electric usage and eliminate coal? Via an all-out nuclear power program. Nothing else can provide more than 700 gigawatts of capacity in the next 30 years. So, it is up to you and your readers: Demand a nuclear program or complain about global warming, oil profits, and fossil fools. Your choice."
