Look- I went to public school, so I am as much an expert on teaching as anyone.

I finally created a Burner so that I could participate in this discussion.

So I know I'm in the greys after commenting for like two years but seriously how do I start writing for Millihelen? I'm a beauty school graduate and former beauty retail employee who doesn't believe in the blind consumerism the industry relies on. Help me out of the greys!
