-Randy Cleven It ' s a fact of life. To Live, thrive, and survive, one has to learn to deal with the accompanying PAINS Just as there is a cloud in front of every silver lin- ing, there is some pain involved in growing.

An increase in school enrollments re- sults in greater student- teacher estrangement.
