Ariala Brings Us CNN Reporting of the Minnesota School Shooting

She gets comments like, when will this stop being a fad? Well, fad is an intersting choice of words for it. The fad that I see is the way the education establishment treats people, children and adults. According to them it is OK to do the wrong thing, as long as you are politically correct and...

Spitfire freaked out. Couldn't Remember Who, What, When, Where, Why or How.

Well, we have quite a crowd. The weather is here and wish you were beautiful. Justkidding! These yurts are warm, but slightly stinky. Lots of activities going on though. Ariala lent me her broom yesterday and I went for a quick spin over Kentucky Chicken (KC). Tapsel-T was sitting on her patio... Sign in to see full entry.

I Steered her Over to Ariala's for a Gander at Those Fabulous Lines --

Well, I'm back from my walk out in the Blaire Witch Project. I would like to bid welcome to JJWilde and Spitfire who arrived in the night. Mark111000101010101 had arrived just after midnight and had a yurt all to himself, but then his caravan of midgets showed up, so now it's more like a circus in... Sign in to see full entry.

Ariala and I Are Sleeping with Bloggers who Brave the Blaire Witch Project!

Well, we have three yurts set up on the property of the Blaire Witch Project. Several bloggers have expressed an interest in taking the cyber-week and getting some philosophy. Out in the BWP there is nothing but. To start with, I have issues. She has issues. We understand each other. We work well... Sign in to see full entry.

Spending Spring Break with Ariala in Beautiful Missouri

Hey, last night when I got home, I was reverberating. I sat on the couch and kind of rumbled. I never felt that kind of exhaustion before. It was interesting that I didn't have the will to turn on the computer and get in on the haps over here on Blogit! Mountain. Six and a half years of perfect... Sign in to see full entry.

Once Again, I See Why Ariala Has the Upper Hand. Talent!

Well, it makes me sad to hear old songs like that. "I see a red door and I want it painted black." Ariala just created a stimulating comparison with the way we feel sometimes and it struck home. I commented that I had heard that song as the closing melody of a particularly good Viet Nam program I... Sign in to see full entry.

ESL Students. 44.4% Dropout Rate. Sad!

Well, we are certainly coming down to the wire Spring Break-wise. Students are getting very antsy indeed. I am going to have to play some serious strategy shifts just to make it through the week -- short week at that! The one thing that I can always count on is the students desire to have some quiet...

Below the 10,000 Words They Will Need When They Reach 9th Grade

This is the best week of the year. We have Friday off, that's for one. Students are dismissed for the week Wednesday at one o'clock. We begin conferences Wednesday at four. Thursday morning we sleep in and start conferences at noon (till 8:00). That's it! So I'm looking forward to a wonderful week,... Sign in to see full entry.

Just Enough Emotional Oxygen to Deal with my Other Teenage Daughter

I'm truly sorry but I'm outta time for this morning. The KY game starts in three minutes and I can't miss it. I have the house to myself for most of the afternoon so I'm gonna cash in on it and do everything I want. I will tell you this. My daughter's beau is back from Marine Basic and he got...

How We Help the Killers

In the federally-funded institutions like courthouses and public schools, we must adhere to a strict fidelity to the constitution. Criminals' and students' rights are always paramount in our planning. So when is the governor, the legislature or the board of education liable for charges of neglect or...
