I don't envy teachers. Kids are the worst. Parents are the worst. On top of that teachers' unions seem to be under perpetual attack.

For discussion. I really disagree but I'd rather I'd rather hear from our community first. If interested anyway. My perspective might be changed by those who grew up with internet 2.0 and up. I once worked with Steven Spielberg on the development of Minority Report, derived from the short story by Philip K. Dick featuring a future society that uses surveillance to arrest criminals ...
... and everyone needs a camo bible to go with that gun. There's nothing new about gun raffles in Kentucky, even at a church. Last year, there were 50 events like this one in the state. The Kentucky Baptist Convention says it's a surefire way to get new people through church doors. Sunday school teacher David Keele says everyone who knows has a gun. ...

This week, Wired.co.uk paid a visit to the subterranean farm, descending the winding steps deep into the bowels of southwest London. The space is enormous. It's made up of two seemingly ...

The most obvious signal of conservative acceptance: GOProud, a group of gay and straight conservatives, was invited to the conference this year as guests after being turned down in the past. They've been welcomed. "Not a single person we met or spoke with has expressed disappointment we're here," said co-executive director Matt Bechstein. Recent developments as well as polls help explain the change. ...
I applaud Randa Jarrar. I applaud her for fighting to save the "purity of idea" of her culture. However, I find her admonishment of white belly dancers troubling, for several reasons. In a new Salon article, the Author claims: Whether they know it or not, white women who practice belly dance are engaging in appropriation The essence of her disapproval is : Arab ...

The Con­fer­ence Board of Canada has is­sued a re­port ti­tled Re­form­ing Dairy Sup­ply Man­age­ment: The Case for Growth, which pretty much con­demns Canada's sys­tem of sup­ply man­age­ment of dairy prod­ucts. Au­thors, Michael Grant, Richard Barichello, Mark Liew, and Vi­jay Gill, say their re­port "makes the case for growth and sug­gests an eq­ui­table way to wind down sup­ply man­age­ment of dairy prod­ucts. ..."

This is incredibly sad. The poor baby did nothing to deserve this. I hope they actually do find a cure and find it soon. The sooner they're able to cure her, the greater the chance that they'll save her life.
