I was wondering about the microwave.....

And if the only phone in town is under lock and key, so how did those pizzas get there?

I think it's a great program and those kids are pretty brave to stick with the 'program' (pun intended).

They could all walk out and go grab an ipod, cell or keyboard.


But, hey! I somehow get the feeling that these kids will be 10 times more humble than any other kids you'll meet.

It is a social experiment and I have no problems with it. I am sorry that any kids got hurt.
