I work from home. I'd rather send them to Catholic school (like I went to) but need to make more money for that. I'm neither poor nor rich enough to afford it. :) > > In reality are you keeping your kid(s) home for the day because the > President is speaking to them?

That is pretty scary. > No, I'm not worried about that at all, I'm just objecting to the politicization of the education system, which is even scarier. I'm OK with addresses per se, and having kids watch them; but this came along with lesson plans that asked kids to write themselves a note about how they can "help the president" and included post-speech discussion questions about what "the president wants us to do". Supposedly they nixed that, claiming (what else?) a miscommunication, but they still haven't fixed the spelling of "Schoochildren." And the fact they're trying to pull that kind of shit is beyond scary. Right out of Ayers' education handbook, the kind of stuff Hugo Chavez does in Venezuela. - Bob > > > -- > Stephen Russell > Sr. Production Systems Programmer > SQL Server DBA > Web and Winform Development > Independent Contractor > Memphis TN > > 901.246-0159 > > [excessive quoting removed by server] _______________________________________________ Post Messages to: [email protected] Subscription Maintenance: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profox OT-free version of this list: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profoxtech Searchable Archive: http://leafe.com/archives/search/profox This message: http://leafe.com/archives/byMID/profox/[email protected] ** All postings, unless explicitly stated otherwise, are the opinions of the author, and do not constitute legal or medical advice.
