CALLING ALL TEACHERS: TRIP FOR TWELVE

I’m sure as hell bound for Hades if the road to hell is paved with good intentions. I’d meant to post notice of this one, a trip for one teacher (and an adult chaperone) and up to 12 students, between ages 13 through 23. To enter, or just to check it out, click HERE. It’s sponsored by EF Educational Tours, an outfit based in Cambridge, Mass. I am not entering, since I am a student these days, not a teacher; I can’t speak to how much information they want beyond the basics. I think it’s just what’s there on the online entry form. This looks like it could be a terrific opportunity for a teacher and his/her lucky students. Last year's winner took his students to Costa Rica to study biology.

NOTE: Do not delay! The contest closes May 31.

P.S. Here's a teacherly thought: Apparently Samuel Johnson said, “Hell is paved with good intentions.” He did not mention roads, he did not write the oft-used, “The road to hell is paved with good intentions.” No matter. In my humble opinion, usage improved the expression. Everybody likes a good road trip, even if your final destination is Hades.
