Laura, sorry about that.
Now that you mention that the kids are just 14-15, I see what you mean. Sorry about the school starting already! Do you teach in a private school? Just curious since it's a bit too early.
The reason why I like to check out the news on line is that it's fast and the front page usually provides a summary of the most important events of the day (abcnews.com is good for National news). You can always expand on the categories to get more in depth news, but at least you don't have to put up with annoying commercials or wait for the news to appear every 15 mints (that's still the format, right?).
I suggested BBC b/c for every story they will provide links to the previous related events so if somebody can't really follow the story the background info is right there.
Cheers, Yana
