An amazing teacher has the power to change children's lives and open doors to a brighter future. With knowledge, empathy and creativity a teacher can design the type of learning that brings the best out of their students. Stephen Haff is one such teacher who went beyond the classroom to creating a magical sanctuary for learning. Stephen founded Still Waters in a Storm, a one-room school in Brooklyn, New York, in 2008. Stephen's approach to teaching and learning at Still Water incorporates his experiences as a teacher, his passion for language and theater, as well as what he learned in his personal journey to overcome depression. The school is for children aged 6 to 17 and many are children of undocumented Mexican and Ecuadorean refugees. The curriculum revolves around reading classic novels, such as Milton's Paradise Lost, and translating it into present-day vernacular. The students learn to translate Latin, read complex texts, create a play, build empathy and confidence, and so much more. Stephen also invites many famous authors – among them Salman Rushdie, Valeria Luiselli, George F. Walker, Mary Gaitskill, and Michael Ondaatje – who visit the school to read their own work and help the students with their own writing projects. This unique school, where the only rule is, “everyone listens to everyone” is an example of teaching to the whole child. Stephen beautifully tells the story of what the experience of attending Still Waters is like, as well as how he came to create the school, in his new book, Kid Quixotes: A group of students, their teacher, and the one-room school where everything is possible.

Day after day, trying to be good, fighting incessant mundaneness; the facade of forced suburban niceness is fading fast.George F. Walker's ‘Adult Entertainment’ opens to a seedy room in a suburban motel. Max, a weary detective, finds himself back in this room with Jayne, a defence attorney, six months after they decided never see each other again. Why are they again, secretly meeting? For sex? To exchange information? To make a backhanded deal? Jayne used to care about her job, Max too, but now they’re just putting in time. Maybe they've just given up. Jayne mentions a young client of hers, whom she feels sorry for. A glimmer that perhaps Jayne still cares, but needs Max's help to sway the case in her client’s favour.Max’s gives his volatile partner Donny some instructions, not Donny’s strong suit. Donny is fighting his own demons, having an infinity for booze and hookers, yet still has a deep love for his estranged wife Pam. During an attempted reconciliation with Pam, Donny’s sloppy police work comes back to haunt them.One action starts a chain of chaotic events that leads to Max, Donny, Jayne and Pam finding themselves in a situation far worse than any of them could have anticipated.Cops, lawyers, husbands, wives, truth and lies. Sex, liquor, secret deals, fist fights and perhaps even love.
