  • Reality Store gives middle-...

    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.

    During the week of Abraham Lincoln’s 200th birthday, Jim Sayre didn’t know he would have to be in 200 places at once.

    And next week is shaping up to be just as busy, but Sayre couldn’t be happier.
