Forensics lesson makes an impression on Pleasantville students

I've always considered courses such as Forensic Science to be nothing efficacious to one's thought process.
Forensic Science allows for students to be analytic, and introduces logical approaches to their everyday lives. You should be very proud of what you do; in the end-game, you're making am appreciable impact.
