James O'Keefe is back in the news with his expose on NPR. What motivates the citizen journalist? Why choose one target over another? If we study the decisions made during the trips to the ACORN offices, we get a sense of the difference between creating the news and reporting the news. We also learn what 20-somethings understand about the US tax structure.

"High prior attainers. Gifted and talented. High Achievers. The students that are aiming for the very top grades at GCSE, that we're all determined to keep at A level for our subject. We put on trips. We run extracurricular clubs. We bring out the "Challenge Questions". We create peer mentoring.
