Teacher Testing Report

I like the range of issues which are included. The topics seem to cover some of the "nitty gritty" areas that some teachers are uncomfortable handling: i.e.family violence and abortion.

Such material is often difficult to find as it is often produced by "interested parties", e.g. churches on abortion, etc.
