The SC

I found this video on this blog and being from South Carolina and having spent some time as a teacher in the South Carolina educational system, I knew I had to share this with someone else.

Enjoy.

    Its...just...SO PAINFUL...to watch...please tell me she didn't win!
    The US flags were lowered in Danville this weekend. I couldn't remember reading of any officials that had died (but knew that a local soldier had been killed) so I asked a drive up person (at Burger Chef) why their flag as the half way mark. Her response was that maybe her work place only "halfway liked America".
    It was all I could do not to ask her where she went to school and who her Civics teacher was (not to blame the teacher but to let the teacher). In the end, I asked the manager and it was for the local soldier.
    All that to say - it isn't just SC! :)

    Okay - so I reread my comment and realize that I needed to say "was at" instead of "as" the halfway mark. Then I went on to mistype "let the teacher..." I meant to say, let the teacher know!"
    Important lesson learned here - when trying to be critical - it is always best to reread one's comments so as to not look stupid oneself!
    Thank you Lord for humility! :P

    Well... I was going to be calling you to see if I could get some History teaching advice, but... well... Now I am not so sure.

The Seed and The Soil of Education (New Learning Project Part 1)

(This is my entry for the first part of my project for my New Learning course that I am taking.) Introduction Corn Fields in Illinois I have lived the majority of my life in the Midwest: mid-state Illinois to be specific. Where I live, farming is everywhere. My grandparents and great-grandparents on both sides of my family were farmers. My dad grew up on a farm and owned farmland, well into my own adulthood. But, even if it wasn’t in the family, I still would have been surrounded by farming. You can’t go more than a mile outside of my city’s limits without encountering miles and miles of fields. Most of our highways, and even interstates, are located between acres of farmland.

This too shall pass...

Gam zeh ya'avor (Hebrew) "This Too Shall Pass" Welcome!  According to Google Analytics, this is by far the most visited post that I have ever written.  If someone comes here from a search engine, most of the time they are looking for " this too shall pass quote " or simply " this too shall pass " on Google or one of the other search engines. I am sure that most of the time visitors are looking for the originations of this quote, but I have to wonder, why is this quote on people's minds? Why are they pondering the passing of events?   Here is my thought: It is probably because most of us have realized that the adult life is much harder than we ever imagined it to be. There is more pain and more sorrow than we had ever imagined as children, but we have learned that time keeps ticking. And as time continues to flow things pass. In fact, even the really big things and the really hard things will still pass. If you are here because you are thinking ...

The Minnesota Crime Commission wrote:

Every baby starts life as a little savage. He is completely selfish and self-centered. He wants what he wants when he wants it: his bottle, his mother's attention, his playmate's toys, his uncle's watch, or whatever. Deny him these and he seethes with rage and aggressiveness which would be murderous were he not so helpless. He's dirty, he has no morals, no knowledge, no developed skills. This means that all children, not just certain children but all children, are born delinquent. If permitted to continue in their self-centered world of infancy, given free reign to their impulsive actions to satisfy each want, every child would grow up a criminal, a thief, a killer, a rapist.
