CONTAINING LINKS TO 1280 STORIES FROM THE NETWORKS' NIGHTLY NEWSCASTS
     COMMENTS: High School Music

High school was the closing topic for both ABC and CBS. CBS' Ben Tracy publicized The Rappin' Mathematician. Alex Kajitani is a southern California teacher who has rendered 24 algebraic maxims in hip-hop rhyme on a CD and has seen his students' test scores shoot up. ABC followed the High School Musical success of its sibling entertainment arm in the Disney corporation with its second story in the last month on high school dramatics. Jeffrey Kaufman filed his report on an all-singing, all-signing West Side Story from Florida for The Spirit of America. Now Deborah Roberts (embargoed link) offers a preview for her two-hour primetime documentary Drama High. It shows suburban Westfield HS students from Chantilly Va putting on The Wiz. "You are a pretty white girl," casting director Scott Pafumi punned, "and this is a pretty black show."
