I just want to point out the disconnect when people say you should not desire to have lots of stuff, and then promise or require everybody to have lots of stuff. Hope we're in agreement here. It should not be the job of government to promise or require "success" of anybody.BlArthurHuhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09298660883025641858noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17968388.post-82538698163713749272009-07-21T09:35:52.013-07:002009-07-21T09:35:52.013-07:00I'm glad an ADULT is really paying attention h...I'm glad an ADULT is really paying attention here. If a student tries to complain or use a well-thought out argument, teachers merely roll their eyes and (metaphorically) cover their ears and scream, "LALALA I CAN'T HEAR YOU!!!"<br /><br />Bleh.<br /><br />Oh, by the way, I am a Liberal (see your third-to-last paragraph).

To strengthen my argument, I'd really appreciate being able to post a little bit more info about you in my post so you're not just an anonymous source. Please take a look and let me know how I can better introduce your evidence--it's a work in progress:<br /><br />http://j1t.blogspot.com/2009/05/star-struck.html<br /><br />Thanks again, and looking forward to hearing from you.

I complained, they said it was impossible, but that teacher was gone the next year.BlArthurHuhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09298660883025641858noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17968388.post-2856387511522833202009-04-28T21:28:00.000-07:002009-04-28T21:28:00.000-07:00Thanks for your useful and insightful analysis.
