It's been a HOT week, and so we're cooling off with a best-of and some back-to-school intrigue. We'll be back next week with a new series on The Lord of the Rings! How does 11 million dollars go missing from the best school system in the nation? And what does Charles Dickens have to do with it? Bad Education is a film on HBO starring Hugh Jackman, written by Mark Makowsky and directed by Cory Finley. The story is based on the New York Magazine article on Frank Tassone, written by Robert Kolker.
