four points if i may 1. im sick of blaming all this on the renters, as my parents were renters until dad finally bought a house in 65. GC housing stock was built on renters being great part of the town. our house at 2128 grand, (sorry, the landlords house), had 4 sleeping rooms upstairs. Mom cleaned, and did the laundry for all of them, rent was 7 bucks a week for the rooms, and we got a lowered rent. I did pretty well in school.
2. bring back the paddle, i think its time. my little behind had a date with the lumber many times, and it was usually 3 licks. The first one hurt like hell, second did too, never felt the third till the numbness wore off. yeah, its time to force the little darling to obey.
3. Im not blaming all the teachers, im sure they are as disgusted with the low test scores as well. I have a sheep farm, and even tho i try to treat them all alike, feed them the free gub a mint breakfest and lunch, some of them are just dumber than others. Dont have the answer for that. And during my tenure as a high school teacher, i had some dumb ones also. could it be time we lowered the passing rates again to get our Ill. state report card higher? we seem to have a block of students that have more trouble with education, and many stellar students who do well and succeed. We all should get more involved and seek the answers.
4. I forgot the fourth, im wore out from thinking about this. Too early for a Perdomo 6x60 but im conceding i need a nap.
