Well, he said he and his classmates were asked for the names of any illnesses or diseases of interest to them.<BR/><BR/>What disease did you ask about, I asked him.<BR/><BR/>Amnesia, he said. He's a jokester, so I had to ask him whether he was claiming a sudden case of it had struck him or he actually asked the teacher how one acquired amnesia.<BR/><BR/>He said he wasn't joking; he wanted to know what caused the onset of amnesia. <BR/><BR/>What were you told, I asked. <BR/><BR/>Of course you know he said, I don't remember, and then he went back to the spin-art project on which he'd been working until I intruded.no_slappzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04207475509053402475noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20674128.post-1142903323867707092006-03-20T20:08:00.000-05:002006-03-20T20:08:00.000-05:00no slappz:You don't know that until you try it.

However, we both agree DOE policy is a complete failure. <BR/><BR/>Unfortunatly, our fearful leader chose not to appear and present the teachers side.

The smart kids in better programs might escape the death by boredom that many kids experience.<BR/><BR/>However it's laughable and naive to think the system would become an exemplar of education if the members of the teachers union were given total control.<BR/><BR/>Such a switch in management would only trade one failed bureaucratic monopolistic management for another.no_slappzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04207475509053402475noreply@blogger.com
