Feels like a schoolyard, kingmi. I use the schoolyard analogy last week.
I go through this every weekend on Blogit! LOL It's tiring.

I'm just sensitive today, kingmi. Sorry. I have had "way too much input"
off Blogit from others. I am the queen of email bombs and disturbing nonsense sent my way.

Klara, in school you can say "nice tie" after an authority figure speaks
and it's considered talking back. Don't you remember? I loved our debate. You made a clear point after I needed "Klarafication"! Luv ya'.

Talked back??? You just gave an opinion, which I welcomed. Read my
response. Oh well, if creating the "atmosphere" of argument on Blogit, is not "conformity" (which you find appalling in me, apparently), I'm totally lost.

wow, no shortage of teachers in the states then?
It's a dying profession over here. They're always crying out for more teachers, especially in the remoter parts of Australia.

Jimmy68, Sounds reasonable. Who's the author? I think I could use
some fresh ideas.

Check out Global Problems and the Culture of Capitalism...
great book on the subject, it gives a much wider approach than most treatments of inequality...do you know that the income gap between the poor and wealthy in America is the highest in the world?

Jimmy68, terrific comment!
I agree, and have you read "Savage Inequalities"? I'm sure you have, anyway, getting anything done is like beating your head against a wall. I tried to expose a guy for doing rough treatment on little hungry Mexican kids, and he tried to paint me as a racist, the pig. You just don't know the half of it! Boy, I should not have drunk that coffee!

Ca881, Fortunately we have a really good administrator who has bought books
taken criticism for buying totally deductive books, then bought better books, nmore inductive. And people are really trying to catch on about writing as a means to learn reading. So things are getting better, but hey 44.4%! Really! Thanks for the stop-n-chat!

That's disenheartening, but no suprise in the study of institutional...
inequality in America, one of the things I like the most about Sociology is that many of the new school of sociologists are coming together to say that just explaining what is wrong with social systems is not enough, we need to start being active in the fixing of our society as well...schools are just about the best possible place to start...

Ariala, Miss you isn't the half of it. I've been writing around here
like I'm having a manic episode, trying to keep everyone busy reading and comenting. I even started making stuff up!
Also, I talked back to KlaraRoberts, and I wrote you a chapter one scenario for a storyline I think you should write a book about, and I asked Hollee her opinion and she ignored my ass, and so I offered the storyline to that new guy, and nobody likes me, and Mentifex called me a retard, and while I was trying not to fight with Mentifex, somebody started using age-inappropriate language, and then Mentifex said he wrote a letter to Dan Rather, and then i talked back to Klara, and then I posted a poen I wrote to both my brothers who have birthdays in ovember, and then...and then...and then I had to go to work at Robert Brothers Coffee Bar, and then I got back, and you were here!

Drop out rates that high are always sad, but significant and should be noted by those in authority. That was noted and something done about it, not noted and filed away for ever....

Teachers are, in my opinion, the best damned people in the world--and
highly underpaid and disrespected.
You do a good thing dear.
