College Knowledge (She's Roxanne!)

By Adrienne Leinwand Maslin

When Roxanne's brother leaves for college, Roxanne is utterly distraught and tearfully tells the class that she won't see him for four years. This gives their teacher, Miss Edna, an opportunity to discuss many aspects of attending college with the students and to set Roxanne's mind at ease.

Most young kids are unable to picture their teachers as 20 year olds and the students laugh riotously at Miss Edna's misadventures. As a college student Miss Edna caused quite a commotion during her college's annual club fair and caused a fair bit of disruption in The Louvre museum during her semester abroad in Paris. She also captained her team in the college's annual bed race. But did her team win?

Miss Edna teaches Roxanne and the class about different types of colleges, what it means to choose a major, having a roommate, study abroad, and the importance of finding a balance between schoolwork and the fun of campus life.
