1. Personally I have never been into television especially reality TV, but when I got married it is all my wife likes to watch, especially The Bachelor. I would completely agree with what Professors Dalakas and Lagenderfer found; that eliminating the villain to early decreases interest in the show.

Maintenance of programs is the one area that Mr. Mankin does control. All materials are purchased based on his school provided budget, although typically there are not excess funds available to expand current programming. Mr. Mankin shared that after the referendum had passed, each school was to receive an extra $10,000 for technology programming, but that was lost for some unknown reason. However, he said that last week he was notified by the central office that the district had received a grant…
