Well, it wasn’t here and now it’s dark but the port will be out and that makes a difference too. I’m a laggard in my drinking so really, excuse me will really go this time.

“President Trump condemns all acts of violence against any individual or group of people – including members of the press."
Well, unless they’re killed by Saudi friends?

Yeah that’s not happening.

Well, we did better than Europe - where a third said that. I’m going to be contrarian and say some respondents may have been pissing on the question, being so well educated that they could consider any point the center in a relativistic way. Lol.
I remember a very long car trip once where my little sister had misheard something her first grade teacher had said about which revolves around what. The rest of the family tried to straighten her out, but she was adamant that her teacher was always right and it was in the science book, so there. I remember oranges being involved to no avail. My dad even pulled the “I’m a scientist” card and she retorted, essentially, not your field. She wouldn’t admit defeat until we took her to an exhibit, either at the Field Museum or Science and Industry, that had a model with a light and spheres that moved around to demonstrate the phases of the moon. Apparently the museum was a higher authority than her teacher.

Hmmm…funny how there is nothing (not even a tweet) from Trump himself.
He’s having a sad over his border wall.
Never ever ring that damned bell

You aren’t Mr. White from 8th grade social studies, by any chance?
The best thing that happened to me in grade school was getting pulled out of fourth grade recess (we had three per day, so no great loss) so that I could help a second grader learn to read. We were supposed to do flashcards, but it was in the art classroom which had chalkboards, so we played hangman a lot too. In retrospect I realize the kid was dyslexic. But anyway I love tutoring one on one like that. I learned a lot of patience with that first job, but most importantly, that not everyone sees or processes the world the way I do, and teaching is adapting to the student, not the other way around.

You knew more about teaching as a fourth-grader than many teachers realize in their whole careers. Not the top third, who are crackerjack professionals, and mostly not the middle third either, but many of the bottom. If we really valued the field it wouldn’t be that way.
