Reality Store gives middle-schoolers a taste of the real world
Students at Anderson County Middle School have probably seen The Amazing Race, Survivor or other reality shows.
But last Friday, they experienced The Reality Store.
Unlike television, the program administered by the Cooperative Extension Service was in fact, reality.
Working on different scenarios that put them in the real world, eighth-graders were forced to deal with the ups-and-downs of real life. Some had high-paying jobs. Others barely got by. Some joined the National Guard and a few even went AWOL.
