captured in just a cinematic film. Many have their own opposing viewpoints on this topic‚ but I do believe that it doesn’t make any sense to show this movie in a classroom. First‚ it defies some of the purposes of the book. For one‚ this novel is meant to be more than welcome for interpretation on one’s own‚ as Sam Jordison discusses in his review of the movie.

Motor vehicle crashes are the leading cause of death for teenagers in the United States‚ but that can be prevented. The Safe Teen and Novice Driver Uniform Protection Act (STAND UP Act) has been designed to change that statistic. The STAND UP Act is pushing to have all states create a Graduated License System with requirements for new drivers on the road.
