I love that fwegster! We can't find a church that we like down here yet.
AJ I'm so glad you get to see that sweet baby regularly! I wish mine lived closer!
The conference sounds great!
Mine are now 25, 20 and soon to be 10! The 20 year old was a baby when I joined...
We're heading out tomorrow for our annual "family camp". Which consists of members of our old church that disbanded. I just love those folks....miss my church.
I wish I had the answers....if I did, I'd make a platform and speak it loud and long.
I think we can all agree that the present system isn't working. While we're making all the changes due to...
I think if the fence is a hazard, then it needs to come down. Just think about how you're going to deal with the little darlings that will now be coming over onto your property. :wow:
I have access to scientific journals, so I decided to see if there were any Asian articles written recently and published by those same scientific journals.....and I found that there were over...
You got our Summer....could you send it back please?
That's great news!
blacks and whites DO attend schools together here, but the districting lines that are drawn usually lead to a very heavy racial imbalance.
i.e. where my oldest son went to school (considered to be...
Honestly, this is one of those things that needs people from many different areas to weigh in and discuss the situation. It's not a one and done situation. Unfortunately, we're looking at a...
What I'm saying is that from talking to teachers who have worked at schools where discipline is a struggle everyday, they're burnt out and don't want to keep fighting. Obviously, this isn't the...
The problem is that most quality teachers don't want to work at the schools that require more effort. Believe what you will. I'm done "discussing" this with you. You obviously refuse to see any...
Maybe we're teaching it because we see the difference between the "black" schools and the "white" schools. I see the test results, and I see the deficits my black students tend to have unless they...
In direct answer to your question, in order to attend a school that is not in your district, you must request permission. Sometimes it happens, sometimes it doesn't. Imagine what happens when a...
Here's the definition: the action or state of setting someone or something apart from other people or things or being set apart.
The school districts set apart who goes to which school.
Welcome back!! Congrats on the retirement, and the new career!!!
I'm an educator, and so I see "white privilege" first hand. It comes in the form of segregation. Here in the South, schools are still segregated. I know, if you don't live here, you're thinking...
Looks good FB!!
And I'm still not going to answer it, especially not after looking at thread #104. You are specifically asking for someone who believes very specific criteria to answer your question. That means,...
I thoroughly enjoyed meeting everyone that I have. Looking back and thinking that a group of women who had never met before, got together and planned to meet at a remote cabin in the mountains of NC...
I randomly sing songs that pop in my brain, and a "White Christmas" popped in there the other day. I started singing it, and my 16 year old shut me down with, "too soon Mom....too soon." :sad:
Honestly, if you were looking to have an honest dialogue someone might be willing to entertain that discussion with you, but when I first read your OP it didn't come across as someone who wanted to...
I'm guessing not, huh?
BUT....was it sweet cornbread....cause that ain't Southern.
