Been a while, huh?Honestly, I've got very little to say these days, and with the family home for the summer, very little time in which to say it.
I do have one thought though, and maybe y'all might have extra comments on it:
We've become a Bizarro version of America. In our schools, the only people not held accountable for their performance are the students. Government officials can be impeached for sexual pecadillos but not for actual misuse of power. Hard work is rewarded less than slacking off. Those who tell the truth are punished. Our answer to waste is to make more stuff to waste. Educated people are now considered "elitist".
It goes beyond a lack of common sense, there's really something very wrong with us.

We actually sign an agreement stating that we will not, under any circumstances, tell our students the truth. We will only teach tme what is in their books and nothing else. Freedom of speech and freedom of expression does not exist in our public schools.
Mostly I'm appalled at such a policy. A small part of me points out, though, that it also muzzles teachers who might think along the lines of someone like Ann Coulter, which is not a bad thing, really.
No one is blogging and for those that are..no one is reading..sigh.
I really have taken offense at the elitist tag being applied to folks with a college education..its so fucking petty and bullshit-laden.
