After struggling at several local public schools, Chris and his family decided he should try the David School, which caters to troubled teens who have failed to thrive elsewhere. Tuition is drastically reduced for students who come from low-income homes. Randall, Chris's father, had also attended the David School for a few years. The David School's founder and director, Danny Greene, talks about Randall back then in his interview with FRONTLINE.

Jay was a student there for a short time, but didn't finish. As for work, his learning disability has prevented him from working "standard" jobs such as at Taco Bell or Pizza Hut. However, he is very active in local politics and does quite a bit of political consulting, especially around election time.

In elementary school, Chris was diagnosed with a behavior disorder that limited his functioning severely enough that he qualified for Social Security's Supplemental Security Income (SSI) program. SSI provides economic support to disabled children like Chris who come from homes with limited income and resources. As long as he stayed in school and didn't work, Chris was qualified to receive SSI benefits until he turned 18.

The school operates strictly on private contributions and support from some foundations. It doesn't receive any public funds such as tax funding or federal and state support.

Caruso asked for a major-league raise in pay for the second season, asking for $100,000 an episode (as opposed to the $20,000 per episode he was paid in the first season). The producers refused to go higher than $80,000 for fear of upsetting the rest of the cast, and eventually, a compromise was worked out: Caruso would appear in the first four episodes of the second season to allow the writers to give John Kelly a graceful exit, at which point he would be freed from his contract to do films.

Chris has a younger brother and a sister, Amy and Daniel. Before his mother Sheila moved out, Chris, his parents, his maternal grandmother, and his two siblings all lived together in their trailer, but Chris sometimes slept in an adjacent small trailer they kept on their property. After Sheila moved out, Amy and Daniel stayed with Chris and his father and grandmother. But later, when Sheila left Kentucky, Amy and Daniel went with her.

CHRIS: Hey, welcome back to NASA Edge. We have a wonderful person right next to us, Robbie Kerns, who is the project manager for shuttle here at NASA Langley Research Center.

CHRIS: This question is from our NASA Edge website. Here's his question. The shuttle uses a system of tiles to protect its underside during reentry. We've talked about that. Why not cover the bottom of the shuttle with a thick smooth surface of strong material instead or why not coat the bottom of the shuttle with a superficial disposable material that wears away during reentry? Sort of like an ablator.

quot;First I said it as a joke, and then I said 'No, I'm going to do it.' And then I set a day. I said the first day of Christmas holidays and I went home and did it. I just thought, 'Oh, this is so much more better and there's just no more worries -- you know, just get up and go, you kow. Don't have to worry about having a big mangled knot in the back of your head, you know, just waking up with bedhead and stuff like that, you know. Short hair's heaps better.

quot;He [Daniel] started singing and because the music's so freakin' loud and he doesn't exactly give us a lyric sheet, I didn't even know what they were until we got the album. But I was surprised they were so personal. He never usually opens up about things, he's very private." - Ben. [41]

We do not want the HTH Village to become one monstrously large high school. In order to ensure this, the schools are on different schedules, the faculty are dedicated to one school and students take classes at one high school, exclusively.
