The Oresteia The Oresteia When I began to read the Oresteia, I have to admit I thought it was going to be another boring Greek mythical story.

Education Education There are many things I care about in my life. One is my family who has been behind me. My friends who have given me advice when I needed it and helped me in school and in my life as well. My own personal health without it I do not think I would have made it this far.

Education Needs Change Since the early 1980\'s, the issue of America\'s faltering public school system has become a serious concern.
