It was a cold November night, in 1992, when I first started seeing drugs and stealing them, from my father. He use to have so much, he wouldn't have known it was gone. He never found out I took them either. I told my brother I wanted to be a drug dealer. I was sitting at the table, with my family and he told my parents. They immediately got on me and stated that I was going to be dead or in jail. My father was really pissed off. He was in his mad mode. God was calling me then, but I wasn't listening. He showed me the end of the world, in a dream. In the dream, I saw a serpent, on one side, and the great day on the other side of the house. The Bible says it is going to be a great and terrible day. Back to the dream, God brought His hand down and I got in it and went up with Him and then I woke up. This dream scared me for a minute, but I went back to the hustle.

From their first days, when the Vice President of the United States spent the day at their school, to the locker that ate a sixth grader's head, and everything in between, you'll feel the warmth of what middle schools once were and what they can and should be again! John and Mark discuss the importance of relationships among all parties within the educational community and share with parents and educators some of the practical, time-tested, and sometimes counterintuitive methods that worked for their students during the roller-coaster years we call middle school. Please enjoy the ride!
