For Teachers: (or homeschoolers-- I tried it, I'll edit this post if I receive it)
Use John Stossel's 20/20 segments—specially selected by John for your classroom—to spark thoughtful, engaging, curriculum-driven class discussions. Here's what you get free with the STOSSEL IN THE CLASSROOM program:
• FREE 20-minute DVD, which includes four segments from 20/20, chosen and edited specifically for the classroom. In the 2007 DVD are:
Stereotypes: How much do expectations of success or failure influence how students actually perform? John Stossel examines whether a bold experiment from decades ago still holds true today.
Foreign Aid: Some say that more foreign aid is the answer to poverty in Africa. But after billions of dollars in aid, individual Africans are worse off than before. John Stossel asks the experts: is there a better way to help the poor?
Price Gouging: After natural disasters, some businesses raise prices on essential goods and services. Is that evil? Exactly the opposite, say three Nobel Prize-winning economists. John Stossel uncovers why in this lesson about supply and demand.
Oil supplies: It's a common belief that America is running out of oil. John Stossel digs for the truth behind this popular myth.
