...... But it really isn't all our legislature that is causing the problem. .....

Regardless of which side you agree with, you have to admit that our legislature has a lot to answer for. Good or bad.

Politics, sorry.

oh. I don't like the repubs any more usually. . This one situation, just happens to be uncorking me though. I have dogs in this fight. And I am pretty hard to converse with (breathing in deeply) on this topic. I'll admit it. I pay money toward it, my kids have involvement. I want the public school system shutdown for the most part or forced to sink or swim having to be competitive. im kind of hard to reason with. The fact people are putting the failing public school system over how I educated my children is making me become unglued. I still was interested in another viewpoint...but.

I've got no issue with simply mentioning that politics gets in the way of education. What I will not engage in is an argument about the evils of one side vs the virtues of another. And for the record, this has nothing to do with my own political leanings. I would disengage the same way had he substituted "Republican" and "conservative" for "Democrat" and "liberal." Any discussion that starts from a position that relies on the demonization of the opposing side is not going to be a fruitful discussion, and that totally turns me off.

Then just walk away from it.

This was a fun little thread and I would rather see it remain so until it dies a natural, organic death from waning interest than have it closed because you're too emotional to have a reasonable discussion.

i'm not TOO emotional. But I don't think you want to have this discussion in your happy thread and it isn't the place for it probably. I apologize for the sidetrack. i'm sure you are a great teacher.
back to photos and reading about photography I go....

Thank you. I'm not against hashing out differing opinions, but I do feel that your being 'unglued' does not put you in the right frame of mind to have a helpful discussion. If you truly are interested in other viewpoints, then you need to approach it with an open mind, not with preconception guns blazing.

Jaguars!



And a few more quotes from my file:

• "The U.S. discriminates by race, history, and income or better yet, the money you have."
• "They get loured away from their loved ones. Jobs such as prostitution, slavery, maid, messuse, and embarrassing positions."
• "The classes I have taken will hopefully help me in my future that is comming up."
• "A final way is to let them see the family member befor the surgery of death."
• "Without life, my existence wouldn't exist."

The Reader's Digest (I read it at my mother-in-law's so stop smirking) has a regular feature called "Kids sure rite funny" or some such. I suspect Leonore probably anonymously contributed at least 50% of the content in that feature over the years. Note that the definition of "kids" being elastic. So Leonore, since you get $50 per entry, you must be rolling in the green stuff - and you're "teaching" just to get more material, right?:hug::

You figured out my scheme! And you know, Reader's Digest headquarters is only about 20 minutes from where I live, so all I have to do is pop in after class to drop off new material and pick up my checks. Don't even have to waste a stamp!

I've been known to include the line, "You're going to write until your eyes bleed!" in my 'pep talks'

And I don't care what anyone says; I really liked "Dead Poet's Society."
